I think the theme is more along the lines of, he knows intellectually that Elizabeth is lying but she triggers authentic emotions of trust and sympathy. He's smart enough to not let his emotional reaction override his intellect but he's fascinated at the cognitive dissonance.

Both games are good. I'd say sandstorm is better in some ways, worse in less. Really, the only big differences are that the movement feels smoother in sandstorm and you have a lot more options for loadouts and weapon builds.

For me the original sandstorm scratches a nostalgia itch, and a lot of the audio feels more punchy, but it's also a more stiff experience. The map designs are good in both, but i think the original has slightly simpler but more interesting map design.

Also, explosions pierce cover in the original but not sandstorm, so in the original it can sound way more chaotic with everyone throwing all their explosives out every time the respawn.
