I've always found the games where you think you sneak around but
really can't to be the annoying games.  Ie, Deus Ex got annoying when
it was obvious the sneaking capability wasn't ever going to work well.
It would seem natural for spy games like No One Lives Forever, but
sneaking didn't work well there either.

Yes, it's the opposite of the "shoot everything that moves" game.
It's more like Mission: Impossible or The Saint, and less like Rambo.
A game doesn't have to have combat to be a game-like.
