Just one tip--PLAY THE GAME THROUGH WITHOUT ANY CHEATS.

At least the first time through. This game has got such a GREAT story, it would be a shame to take away all the suspense and surprises that it offers. It's almost as good as being IN a movie with self-determination. Gameplay is well set up so you don't have to save your game every two minutes. Play the levels through the first time without saving, just for the enjoyment of it. You will find that if you are careful, you can get through many of them alive the first time. You can then go back and replay the level if you took too much damage the first time.

OK, just one tip: Don't shoot the guards. They are on your side--and they can be useful!

Didn't you have other save-points to go back to?
