Is Splinter Cell Conviction dumbed down or is it just different?

Download the demo.

From a personal perspective, I hate stealth games, but I quite wanted to play SCC, quite a lot of it was because of the art style with the things objectives appearing on the environment and stuff. The problem is that I hate stealth, and I am kind of rubbish at it, and so I just failed a bit. But I only failed a bit, so I think it it dumbed down from a full stealth game, but not quite just an action game, I don't think there is a way to look down the sights of the gun which basically makes it impossible to play as a proper action game. But the best way to decide is to play the demo and decide if you like the way that the game works

You don't have to play it as a stealth game. A couple parts you do,but those are few. The number of enemies in some parts actually make it impossble to use stealth. Why would you want to look down the sights of the gun,it not a FPS game. lol

I am basicall incapable of killing people without looking down the sights, I just never felt in control while shooting people in that game {though by looking down the sights, I mean a closer over the shoulder view like Uncharted or Gears}. If you don't use stealth, then you are just playing a bad action game, and given Gears of War and Uncharted games are here, why would you play a game that is just not as good in full action as they are.
