A standout first-person stealth game for the original Xbox carried by some solid level design, a tense and cinematic atmosphere with a compelling plot, visceral melee combat, and some of the best visuals on the system. Funny to think they were able to make the game better than the movie it was a tie-in for.

Fun fact: Vin Diesel himself held some influence over the game's direction, and suggested that the game focus more on stealth than traditional FPS action as initially planned, which ultimately benefited the game's design significantly, and allowed it to stand-out from other FPS contemporaries, making it more reminiscent of the Thief games in some ways.
