I would have prefered to have tried a demo of this first, but for ?10 I figured it wasn't too big a risk and clicked 'buy' in Steam.
First impressions were along the lines of 'so what on earth am I supposed to do?'. There are no tutorials and it has very different rules to a regular first person game.
I started to get the hang of it after a while and as the server filled up it really started to become interesting. You have to find your prey, then tail them to a quiet area where you can kill them. Once you get out your weapon however they can fight back in self defense. Get caught murdering or attempting to murder and you go to jail and lose some cash. Most cash at the end of match wins.
As with any online game the quality of the other players is a huge part in how well it works. There was one guy in the game I was playing who seemed to think this was just an FPS and killed everyone on sight. Amusing for about 3 seconds then tiresome.
Graphically the game shows it's roots as a mod. It's basic stuff and there's nothing here to impress. The characters have a bit of style though.
The game could get repetetive after a while but for ?10 it's worth it to try out something so original.
