The answer is "yes". It's dumbed down AND it's different. It was fun but it certainly didn't feel like Splinter Cell to me. Plus, the graphics were actually kinda dated. Splinter Cell games in the past were always known for pushing the graphical envelope.
I bought it and I think it was worth the money (I'd give it an 8/10) but the game is actually pretty short. I didn't give the two player mode a shot yet, though. Anyway, if renting it is an option, I think you'd be better off renting it. It definitely deserves to be played but it may not get replayed very often.
