Started playing this recently, cant say I'm anywhere near as enthusiastic about it as the review is. Yes it does alot of things but I wouldnt say it does many of them that well.

The combat is boring besides the kill animations, its basicaly an endurence test of how quickly you can repeatedly smash the x button, and its not a very hard test at that. The free running isnt anywhere near perfect and he often jumps in the wrong direction to what i want him too, climbing up the side of buildings is virtualy always a pain and the game is basicaly too intuative and tries to be too clever for its own good.

The story is well handeled and the presentation is solid (besides the load screen which lets you walk around an empty white room, how fun!) but as an actual game I feel its lacking in many respects, probabaly keep ploding on with it but its nothing special for me.
