[Cloverfield]

The thing is, they are very different.

The other thing for me, is that I aren't generally a fan of first person shooters. In fact I generally run in the other direction when I see one. I don't care for Halo or games like that. So when I first heard that Stranger was going to be first person, I really didn't know what to think. But it proved me wrong. Unlike many other FPS games, I found the controls to be easy to use and I was able to pick up on them [although have some difficulties sometimes as that is just me]. But the thing with Stranger that I loved, is that you are not forced to play in FP mode all of the time. Sure, there are some parts where you have to, but for many parts of the game I was able to run around in third person mode which suited me well.

So I guess generally, I don't compare the two lots of games. I loved the original games [and still do], but I also like the new direction as well. So I really can't say that I had any kind of dissapointment. For me it was more of an unexpected change that ended up to be a good one.

My advice to you is to give it a go. Don't judge it just because you think it's a FPS. As I said, I didn't like such games either, and I was pleasantly surprised.
