It's super frickin hard meaning you will get caught a lot. Graphics are pretty good. The fixed camera angle gets annoying and the controls feel somewhat sluggish. The first mission was great (probably created for demos etc) and then the second mission is difficult (I was playing it on normal). The ninja stars, fishing pole, and other ninja items are put to good use I think, except it takes time to use them and then exit and hide again. If you get caught and have a sword you can sword fight...I found this nearly impossible on normal, on easy I could actually win. <the idea is not to be spotted.
If they had a controllable camera I think it would be better. I was getting pissed off though. When you have to move a box a little, roll back into shadows, move it some more, etc.
Rent it first and see if you like it. It's got decent ratings on meta critic as well.
