Tussell Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 What should be done? Because I'm definately doing one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianstallion Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 granted I have only played 6 missions. But a rental should be fine. Its not a terrible game, but its not terribly good either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tussell Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Yeah I was thinking, possible a rent first... Because you cant like, unspend 60 dollars. So if I like it, I may just buy it. But could you imagine replaying the single player? Like does it look like it may have a good replay value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elemental sIn Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I just rented it today (finally found a store that had one available), and it's not a bad game at all... but as stallion said, it's not a great game either. The stages start to repeat themselves after awhile (and I'm not even to mission 20 yet), and I can see that getting very boring toward the end. The game play itself is fun, but the way the game plays, it's a 'more of the same' type on each mission, not really adding anything new to the mix as it goes. You could argue that the skills, items and clothing you unlock 'freshens' it as it goes, but to me it doesn't give it enough. I personally think it's a great one time through game, but I don't see myself coming back to it after I finish it. I might also add, it's setup much like the Hitman series. The characters all have patterns that are the same each time you play the level. However they reuse the same layouts quite a bit (which is what I meant by repeating themselves), and barely mix up the AI patterns in these variants. Even the mission objectives are usually in the same buildings as the previous time through the map. Regardless, I still say it's worth a rent and play through.

Tussell Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Thanks for all the information. One last thing... Do you think the achievements are/will [be] easy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elemental sIn Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I'm leaning towards easy, but time consuming (which I believe is the overall feeling on this board). I'm playing through on hard, and so far have had little trouble getting rank 5's on the maps (hit a snag on 16 though, hate following people).

Tussell Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Alright, well I'll probably end up renting it tomorrow. As I've said, thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadicalSniper99 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 A lot of fun to play, but it becomes really REALLY repetitive. You should be able to knock down a lot of achievements quickly if you go for it, but it really isn't long enough to merit the buy I think unless you really think it will have staying power after beating the game.

Walcherina Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 There should be a neither option. I played the demo and didn't care for it at all, but then again it's just a demo. However I won't be renting or buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keytta Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I have to go with the Rent option. I downloaded the demo and was not impressed with the play at all. This had been on my buy list until I played the demo and will now wait until next year when I can pick it up for $20. I'll save my $60 for now to buy Two Worlds.

Tussell Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Well sadly, I went to go rent this at Hollywood Video today, and they had the box behind the display case. So I go up there happier than all hell, because I totally forgot I downloaded the demo, and I played it today, so I wanted to rent it. So I go there, and like I said they have the case behind the display case, and I go up there and they say there is a mistake and there is no game. So I'm stuck with DW5 and The Darkness... My life pretty much sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaBo0kiE Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I would recommend buying it if your into games like this. I was worried it was going to be terrible beacuse the demo was very painful, but playing for awhile it's actually enjoyable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 RENT!!! some1 got it for me as a gift because the demo waas amazing, the game is way different... It is mostly at night and not very vivid, definitly a rent. I played at my friends house before I took it home and I let him keep it for a while (thats how bad it was!)

Tricka21 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I'd say buy it if your a fan of this sort of genre but if it's just for achievements then it's a rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicks Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I enjoyed it when I played it, but with everything else that came out it got lost in the rotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasty Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 This game can get very engaging if you give it a chance; but as for actually wasting more than $5 on it...no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmnterminator Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 I've always been a fan of the series so for me it was a buy...definately a fresh change of pace from the usual slew of FPS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaded007 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 neither, this game was a flop, the camra sucked the controles were horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz White Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 It's basically the same as the original Xbox version with a couple new moves items that are helpful, but not awesome, marginally better graphics, and online co-op. If you're a fan of the series or stealth games then maybe rent it. Do not buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devolon Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 This is a last-gen game, marginally better than tenchu 3 but I'm not even sure. I was a huge tenchu fan, but this one is the limit: it's a very lazy, totally unpolished and unchallenging game that you shouldn't consider buying now that next-gen stealth is finally upon us (assassin's creed).

Bloody_Hitman666 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 kind of a tough decision...becuz if u want all the achivements i would buy it cuz otherwise ur gonna be really bored of beating the game 3 times or if u wanna keep renting this game or just have a big late fee..im working on my last difficulty setting and its taken me 1 week to get to mission 20 cuz of how boring it is __________________ Completed Retail- Eragon, Hitman: Blood Money, Madden NFL 08, Oblvivion, Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, CoD 4 Working on: Tenchu Z(950), Guitar Hero 3(175) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noddegamra Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I'd buy it. I got it for £15 pre-owned in GAME. You can take your time getting the achievements and its really fun to play. A great example of "Graphics don't mean everything". Online is fun with mates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
