I believe everyone has seen the gamefly commercials on TV. That is exactly how i felt after only 5 minutes of playing. First person shooter game without the shooter? STUPID!!! I am not the biggest fan of the 1st person veiwpoint in the first place, but it has no place in games without the shooter part. When jumping from building to building you will have no clue where you are jumping from because you can't see your feet. Balancing on the pipes or beams was not possible as I would start to fall one way and try to correct it, but I would continue to fall in the same directon until I over corrected it and fell off the other side. With such a dumb button configuration to top it all off. Wall jump, 180 degree turn, then jump to the opposite wall, in the first person? What were the makers of this game smoking? You also cannot see anything in your periphery. "What was I supposed to grab on to", I asked myself the multitude of times I was falling off of buildings. And then I had to go back through all of that again. I think not! I completed chapter 1 and then sent it back. I have finished every other game I have played, but I cannot tolerate this game. I would actually rate this game lower than a 1, if it was possible!
