Definitely. The game is awesome, but the last act seems rushed and a lot of the things they touched upon get ignored, such as Patient X and the revelations about them.
It's an amazing game though, worth the money by far.
Just some tips: You CAN save the chopper, get EMP armour and if you buy anything from the stealth tree you're a moron._________________  |

It is, some stealth upgrades are good, some suck, like the stealth cloaking, it only works for like 3 seconds before depleting your entire energy level which is stupidly still low even at high levels. Most special actions/moves deplete one energy level, and you can only have 4 at max and only the first level of meter regenerates, and the rest need to be CONSTANTLY topped up by protein bars, which can become a pain in ass in terms of inventory space.
Other than that, its a terrific game, great gameplay, pretty solid storyline. |

| ahh weak... I was hoping for better stealth mechanics.... still, I wanna play it, looks good. How long does the game take? thinking of just holding off for a while and just renting it for a couple weeks after I finish a bunch of other games..... I've got bills pouring out my ears at the moment  _________________ |

Stealth itself is good, the stealth tree gives you perks that you can already see using your own eyes, such as vision ranges and timers on alerts. For my stealth guy I maxed energy regen, the first bar of energy always recharged so I just used that and never used protein bars. If you're methodical enough you don't need them, just sit behind a guy, wait for energy to regen (takes 2 seconds with max regen) then smack em in the face. Also max stealth field, lasts 7 seconds on one bar of energy, meaning you never need energy bars.
I'd say it was worth a buy._________________ |

| I assume we're all talking about Human Revelations? If it's on sale it's a definite buy. I think the ending was pretty shitty (in fact the whole of the last level was pretty shitty), but up to that point I had a really great time with it.
Stealth is the way to play, fuck all the haters...except then there are the boss fights. And you need proper combat skills for that. They were the other shit thing about this game. Even so, I got through most of the game with a silenced pistol and a tranq rifle. |

Bah, I used melee the whole way through except for bossfights (upgraded Revolver and frag mines FTW) and when the chopper goes down._________________ |
