I finished the game and didn't find any particular parts hard at all on the normal difficulty setting. The game was awesome, but I felt unsatisfied with the ending and expected another mission. When I saw the credits starting to roll, I was like "That's it?"

I liked so much in this game, but I have a few complaints. Once the going gets rough and you have 3 or 4 enemies taking you on with little to no cover, you can barely take out 1 guys (2 at most) before getting killed. When the action gets intense, you're pretty much ufcked. In Metal Gear Solid you could take out 5 guys AND still walk away with half your life. Also, was anybody able to turn on automatic fire on the rifle? If I was able to do that, I might take back my first complaint. Another thing I didn't like was how holding a gun to a hostage didn't do squat when in a roomful of enemies. They shot right through the hostage and killed me, and when I dropped dead, my hostage walked away unhurt.

I sold the game since I felt it had no more replayability, and would gladly pick up a sequel. I sold it after I heard the Kola Cell missions were too easy and unfulfilling.

Also, did anyone else find the little level glitch outside by that labyrinth of bushes after u take out the sniper and attack dogs? By the locked entrance to the building, all the way to the right theres a wall that you can walk through that turns into a narrow alley. I was stuck there for a while because I thought it was where I would advance to the next level.

My favorite weapon was the distraction camera, but not by using its whistle and gas features. A perfectly aimed shot with it to the head would knock a guy unconscious, AND you could walk over and pick up your unused distraction cam. Second place for favorite way to incapacitate a guy would be jumping on his head from an elevated position. Oh yeah, Wall Mines are really fun.

At the end of Kola Cell there's a standoff where guys rush into a large room. You get two wall mines. If you put them in the right spot you don't have to fight anyone. Now that was an awesome feeling when you get it right.

30 minutes of loading and saving to kil them all, or 30 minutes to figure out that you're supposed to run right past them? =)

OK you want to run out of the elevator and go left and then hide behind a book shelf. In front of you is a balcony, you'll see a guy up there first. Take him out then two more guys will run right in front of you but one after the other so you have time to take them both out, finally the last guy stays back, you can get a clear shot on him through the bookshelf with a sniper rifle.

A trick about the first guy on the balcony, you can use a diversion camera up there and when he runs out gas him, works if you are running low on ammo.

no, just run to the imediate right side out of the elevator (left might work too but I went right) and go around the left side of the bookcase and down the basement corridor just as the bad guy is running up and out of it. You shouldnt even get hit once. Once you run down they won't follow you. Although I did take them out before entering the basement just because I TAKE NO PRISONERS and LEAVE NO MAN STANDING! =) I believe 2 out of the 4 guys drop a frag grenade and a health kit.
