Graphics are amazing. Gameplay is intense... however, there are some major flaws.
Camera angles can make it difficult to perform certain techniques, specifically wall running. Sometimes you have to wall run to a plate to hang from your dagger, or wall run to a springboard and jump. The only problem is that the camera sometimes prevents you from seeing the objects at the right time, and you waste sand running time back to make up for the mistake. Of course, if you have an amazing reaction time when there are 3 or more wall run to spring board opportunities, I suppose you won't have any major problems. However, that is no small feat.
Additionally, the game gets somewhat monotonous. While the obstacles and scenery may change, the gameplay remains the same... stealth-kill your way through everything. And the specific series of strikes that progressively get more scrutinous can get somewhat annoying as your window of opportunity gets smaller and smaller.
The movie scenes are great. The dialogue doesn't sound too stupid. Dark Prince is pretty cool (except for the whole "losing life" thing).
You need lightning-fast reflexes and a keen eye for details to really progress in this game. But you may, like me, just get tired of the same thing over and over.
