Yeah, I have it. I've been playing it for the last couple of days. So far, I've had a lot of fun with it. Here's my take on it:The graphics are very nice. Sprawling landscapes, nice environment effects. The gameplay is fun too. Sneek around, killing only when necessary (or go on a rampage, your call). Avoiding the alarm being raised is really where the fun is in this game; however it's sometimes possible to destroy cameras or kill a soldier in front of another (if he's not looking at you directly) without calling attention to your presence.
On the bad side. The biggest gripe so far (from virtually all who have the game), is there's currently no mid-mission save function (or save after completing an objective at least). Past the 4th map or so, you begin to understand why this is so necessary. You'll find yourself wasting lots of time going through the first 3/4 of a mission over and over again. The enemy AI is ridiculously stupid on any difficulty level, however, trying to catch a guard before he hits the alarm button is a good rush.
Regardless of the shortcomings, I've been putting in a couple hours every night this week. That says a lot about the game to me...

Anyone else have it? if not, i highly recommend you pick it up. The use of the flight sim engine is outstading. The mass size of each level is enough to buy this game. The weapons all act, sound and look great. My only gripe would have to be the lack of multiplayer, tho theres the possibility for a multiplayer patch. And the small annoynaces in singleplayer can be overlooked very easily, like the use of textures repeatedly but everything else in the game makes up for it.
