I do have the original version of this one and a thought it was ok but 
really not anything special. Then again I also have the 
original-original which I bought when it was released as a cheapo in one 
of those white flimsy DVD cases. I can honestly say that I just didn't 
get why people raved about it. Possibly one of the reasons was that I 
was probably in my 'true' FPS phase so the whole stealth part didn't 
interest me.

This is one of those games that I think works well on the iPad as you 
can just play ten or twenty mins here-and-there. It also has the 
advantage that the interface is well suited to a touch screen.
