So I was just at Newbies house watching him play it and it looks awesome!
although some of the actions may be repetitious (while fighting) when you go around the city and on top of buildings it is mind boggling
I want it, but I have no money....
It's really badass. A lot of repetitive action, but it's all for the greater good. Plus, the storyline draws you in a good amount. :)
It's not like any game I've played. I want to compare it to the Hitman series, but it's a lot different from that in feeling.
And to be honest, there's a lot of repetitiveness in most games. Halo? Bang. Bang. Bang. It's all about how you go about it. :P
It feels like doing daily quest with out the pay off.
I was so excited for this game after hearing that the graphics were amazing. I got a new TV Friday (parents upgraded 3 of our TV's) so now I have a 32in LCD instead of a 23in LCD and I was anxious to play Xbox on it because of the amazing picture. I was like...omg Assassins Creed (just like that) and was sick and asked my mom to go to Blockbuster to rent it, but they didn't have it. So anyway fast forward to like 2 hours later: I get the Limited Edition (they didn't have regular) and bring it home, pop it right in. Intro movie looks AMAZING and I have my parents come watch it and I'm just like wow that is great. First play the game, damn nice graphics. But unfortunately that is where the game ends. I've now done I think 3 assassinations and it's just getting kind of boring. You do the exact same thing, and while that's the same in other games (shoot people, just with different scenery) it is just different. You have all of these things you can do (save people, pickpocket, etc.) but really it doesn't matter. You only have to collect 1 or 2 pieces of information (so far) to find your target, and on top of that the fight scenes just get repetitive and aren't that hard (counter attack over and over, or xx combos.) Whatever. On top of that it's unlike Hitman in where Hitman required a level of stealth, where as this game you can still bump in to whoever and as long as you don't like kill someone in front of a guard it doesn't matter. But if you do it's no challenge to just defeat the few guards that attack you.
I hope in the later levels this game becomes more of a challenge and more fun, but so far it's just a beautiful drawn out set of repetitious actions.

Didn't read the rest of your post. Don't get your hopes up. ;)
I imagine the game is well made, but I just can't get past hearing the goofy bagger at this store I worked at saying how "cool" this game is; so I don't think I will ever be playing this game because this guy was scarey goofy.
Don't like that. Not at all.
-Lobo out
If you've ever been frustrated by the damn game that won't let you jump (AHEM, ZELDA, FUCKING 3D BUT CAN'T JUMP PIECE OF SHIT1), this game will make you cream.
1I'm a big fan of the Zelda series by and large. I just don't like it when a guy who's supposed to be a super action hero, who was able to jump as far back as his second appearance in a video game, can't get his shit off the ground unless he's going monkey-nuts with his sword. I'm bitter.
true. games that don't allow jumping suck.
in my opinion, this game gets better as it goes along.
I'm selling my Limited Edition for $55 if anyone wants it. I was going to sell it to my cousin but he was in Texas and got bored and bought it himself.
Sell it to GameStop or some such...

Play Super Smash Bros... both Link and Zelda can jump. (Shiek too)

So can Young Link! But that doesn't change the fact that Fox is top tier.

I prefer playing Falco, rather than Fox.
I like Falco better too. Unfortunately, my main is Marth :'(
I am thinking about purchasing a xbox 360 just to play this game.
Newby, do you have any final thoughts on this game?
I played it at a friends house, I really like the game play.
I definitely wouldn't say this is a system-selling title, but it is fun to play.

dont buy it, the game is very repetitious and you will get bored easily, also all the action scenes are the same.
Get Mass Effect instead.

Yes, that is another one I was looking at.
hmm, I don't know maybe I will get one when tax season comes around.

Go with rabbit's suggestion. Rent this game if you really want to try it, but trust me, you'll get bored before the rental period is over.
