As a longtime fan of the series I had been waiting for this game since I first learned it was in development. That's a long time to build up impossibly high expectations. Well, I'm happy to report that this game was everything I wanted and more. Excellent gameplay which included some surprising excellent stealth mechanics (optional). The story is one of the best of recent years regardless of genre. And the graphics are simply amazing thanks to the wizardry of John Carmack.
