Can I just say this really annoyed me about the game? Not that it happened, I thought it was an interesting touch, but what ruined it for me was having it carry through after you died. That seemed almost like a bug to me, because why would they make you suffer that punishment after already facing the punishment of death? It kind of ruined doing all punch/knife/tranq modes since you basically never recovered.
The 360 remake fixed this problem thankfully.
God I miss this game so much. I need to buy a couple 360 controllers so I can play it again.
