    I rented it last night and this game is pretty sweet. The free-running is extremely cool. Not too sure about combat, because I've run away from everyone. I'm working on getting the achievement for beating the game without killing someone.

    Rented it before and thought it was cool. Got really boring fast and never could fight anyone but sweet concept.

    So I've chugged through roughly half the game so far, and it's been damn fun. It gets pretty intense when you're trying to run from a whole slew of bad guys shooting at you. However, it also is frustrating as all hell at times too, especially when the game doesn't really give you direction as to where to go. Overall though, I'm loving this game so far and might purchase it after I'm done with the rental.

    I thought it was interesting(Played the demo too) but not worth playing.

    Thanks... I was just wondering because I might start renting games from gamefly and wanted to know if it worked good and fast.

    I'm playing the demo right now; it's fun. I would get it, but I hear it's short.

    Supposedly you can just play the demo three or four times over and that is essentially the whole game.

    First person platforming is frustrating as hell, I don't know why they insisted on it. Maybe they wanted to differentiate themselves from Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia's parkour elements.

    So what are the objectives of the missions if you can beat it without killing someone?
