After several sessions of attempting to get further in this and then putting it down out of frustration over the stealth mechanics, I just have to give up. Adapts so much of the style and charm of Lupin's characters so well (the sequence that let's you play as Goemon was the highlight for me) but it's idea of challenging stealth is making you stop and salute every cop on screen every 3 seconds if you want to not immediately get sussed out. The challenge of each area becomes the fact that getting from point A to point B is always a hassle, and my strategy eventually devolved into "run through this room full of guards, hit them all with a frying pan if needed, then find an empty room to lower your suspicion level in by waiting and doing nothing." It does so much of what I wish game adaptations of anime would do, but then it's also just a bad game.
