 Stealth-based game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fans of stealth-based games often find great excitement in the high-risk, high-tension gameplay and cinematic experience that is typical of the genre, whereas other gamers may find stealth-based unenjoyable due to the lack of frantic action and occasional frustration at the high finesse that is often required.
These games also tend to have more emphasis on story, as part of a stealth-based game's impact comes from the ambience that the game has, emphasizing urgency and the need to remain hidden.
Whereas the excitement in most action games is the adrenaline rush of combat, the enjoyment in a stealth game is usually (but not always) cerebral in nature.

 Extreme Gamer - Rouge Ops Xbox Review
Introduction:Rogue Ops is a stealth based game that shares many of the strengths and weaknesses of similar games, but adds enough new features to stand on its own legs.
Stealth in the game is handled more like the Playstation's Tenchu series than anything else.
In the later half of the game, however, alarms call in an endless supply of enemies, usually requiring a restart or a lot of running and gunning, which Nikki is more than capable of doing.

Because the initial experience in a game is critical to keeping the player interested, our play tests focused on the training level and the first mission level of the game.
We did this because we felt that people closely involved with the game’s development may focus too closely on how they envision the game "should" be played rather than how the player is actually playing the game.

The game itself is a vehicle based shoot'em up with elements of stealthy sneakiness thrown in for good measure.
