I've played it on PC. So, no, its no the controls, for the most part (in 
fact, I probably would have done even worse with one.. lol) but, they 
did make a few changes to things from the prior game to this one, and.. 
gah, I hate having to relearn which things on the keyboard do what (not 
that they would *ever* do such a thing with a game controller...)

Best suggestion, for someone really having that much trouble on it.. try 
watching one of those walkthrough videos, or something that are out 
there, to get a sense of just what it takes to do things, and how. Its 
been a long time since I played it, so I don't remember all the details, 
but.. a lot of it came down to, "Don't get spotted in the bloody first 
place.", if I remember right.

And, yeah, some cameras, you can't avoid too easily, others.. you just 
need to keep an eye on where they are pointed, and avoid getting in 
front of them. They *all* have a blind spot right smack under the 
camera, if I remember, so the trick is usually to slip right up under 
the camera, when its looking the other way, then wait until you know its 
pointed away from where you are going, and you have time to move, then 
get your ass there and out of its view, before it shifts back to look 
that way. This isn't always easy, but it is possible. Ducts are, of 
course, your friend, and, in some cases, you get more options, like 
being able to move a soda machine, to get at one, if you added enough 
strength mods, with the right upgrades.

Its definitely not impossible. Maybe you just suck? ;) lol

Note: unlike the prior one, I failed, badly, at the, "don't kill anyone 
you don't really need to.", option. This one was definitely a bit harder 
to avoid those sorts of, "Oh hell, lets just shoot this bastard!", 
moments in. :p
