Good things: Graphics are good, movement is realy smooth

Bad Things: Basically everything else. What is the point of the elevator scenes? All it does is your waste time. The controls can be annoying. The jump and wall run are the same button and you can already guess this means trouble. I find myself jumping when I want to wall run and I wall run when I want to jump. On stair ways you are continuously find yourself stuck and it makes it easy to die from pursuing enemies. Combat is broken. It takes forever to kill an enemy hand to hand, even if you have a gun it's annoying to aim cause they keep moving around while aiming at you with no problem. The game is WAY too short. I sucked at it and I still was able to beat it in a day on normal! AI is far smarter and stronger than you. Their aiming is that of a marksman and they can take you down with two hits in hand to hand. They attack in groups so while you're fighting one enemy, the others shoot and kill you in moments. This type of game is what I like to call "trial and error". You have to die so many times till you know in advance where everything is and when to hit the right buttons to complete the jumps. This basically takes the fun out of the game, it also really ticks you off. If you're looking for a game to raise your blood pressure, this game is for you. You'll face will be red and you'll throw your remote faster than you can die.

Frustrating!!!! Great concept, however you are so rushed during game play that you can't enjoy it.
I just couldn't pull off any of the cool moves they showed during the load screens, sometimes trying to run away just got me killed faster! while trying to take out the cops i'd always get killed. I don't know the game is cool, i liked jumping off the buildings those puzzles were ok, but it needed some kind of lock on system for bad guy nock-outs. I usually have no trouble beating games, I didn't try to finish this. I'm sure some people will like this game and some, like me won't

A very unique game that is very visually appealing and something very new. However, if you are a gamer that gets frustrated easily, this is not a game for you. I echo most of the other reviews that state you will die a lot, and the game does a very, very poor job of pointing you in the right direction. And you only have short amount of time to look for the right place, because otherwise enemies come out of the woodwork and there is little point with combat as you will lose. So, the alternative is to die and start over from the last save point. I got really frustrated with it and had to play something else for awhile, but when I started back up, I ran into the same problems and decided I had had enough.

If you are looking for something new, this is certainly new with a very cool concept and the button layout is certainly unique, but I just got too frustrated and only got through about 30-40% through it before I couldn't take it anymore.
