  1. Even with the questionable atmosphere and strange real-time/planning/movie setup, The Sting! does offer an enjoyable amount of tension and mental challenge as you creep around stores at night and run for cover when guards stroll by.
  2. The game is mostly held back by its lack of interesting visuals and sound and sometimes difficult interface.
  3. It does have a lot to do with crime and criminals, but without the suspense and comedy.
