- Fortune favors the Blade
This game had a lot of potential, but it quickly lost my interest. It is awesome while you're killing your first victim. Then after you assassinate him, and move onto your second target the game becomes more and more monotonous. Every assassination is the same. Yes there is a slightly different story to them, but the game play is the same. You get on your horse and ride to the town. Then you go to the assassin's bureau, after that you have to scale tall buildings in order to see your investigation ... Read More
Rating: - Great graphics, short on plot
I'd give this game 5 stars for the graphics which were impressive. The details of the scenes and objects made it visually fun to play. I'd give it three stars for the story though as after the first few kills, I found myself doing the same two moves every time. You could finish the entire game with just about two buttons so more variety in the kills would have been nice. The ending was also weak as it clearly laid the groundwork for the sequel, but was one of the poorer endings of a game I've seen ... Read More
Rating: - cool game
Not a bad game the story is interesting the graphics are cool and over all not a bad game I look forward to playing part two cause of it... It plays very much like Hitman only with a better hiding system to it.
Rating: - Great Game a little too short but still a great game to play
the shipping was great it came right on time and it took my son 17 days to pass it. it was really easy because there are some things that you repeat, but sometime you do get into it and it really fun game if you like killing bad guys. So i rated a 4/5 I think it could beenbit more better, but let see how part 2 is
Rating: - Thanks for the tech demo, Ubisoft.

Gameplay Genre:Solo-Fighter/Realistic Platformer

Theme: Historical Science Fiction
Presentation is slick - graphics, animation, and simulation are all top notch.The plot is well crafted, but suffers from a cliffhanger.The sound, on the other hand, is abysmal - I played this on a Klipsch HD1000 which revealed just how poor the original sound samples were.To top it off, most of the game's sounds are intrinsically ...
