@jz: :P Perhaps. I mean, the other game I mentioned, Metro Last Light is a pretty good stealth game too.
Last Light is an absolutely terrible stealth game. This is one aspect that almost everyone says is super weak in the game. After people complained how stealth was too hard in 2033, the developers went completely the other way and made it super simple and easy. You have several instakill options that don't alert anyone, including infinite stealth throwing knifes, and you can literally stand right in front of human enemies faces without them seeing you, because it's 100% stealth as long as you're in shadow.
Last Light is a good stealth game, but it's really quite unrealistic, and yes, it is simple, even more so when you turn the brightness down since you know exactly where you can and can't go. It makes for a quick way through it. I didn't mind it much. I'd love to play Metro 2033 though.
If you can call naughts and crosses a good strategy game, sure, it's about in the same ballpark :/
(and while we are at it I will admit naughts and crosses has a certain elegance to it, despite being simplistic; if at least expanded to a borderless 5 point variation)
