- Unbelievable parkour chase system? CHECK!
- Wide array of deadly sneak attacks? CHECK!
- Ultra satisfying fighting system? CHECK!
- Breathtaking level design and scenery? CHECK!
- Beautifully integration of game features with story? CHECK!
- Anus tightening jumps and leaps of daring with a simultaneous lack of annoying jump puzzles? CHECK!
- Ability to replay your favorite missions? CHECK!
- "Sandbox" freedom? CHECK!

SWEET! The perfect action game right? Slow down...

- Annoyingly slow storyline sequences? Check :(
- Over the top yet anticlimactic ending? Check :(
- This is getting to feel repetitive? CHECK :(...

Very very solid 8/10 for this title, but be warned. Its more like playing a long, repetitive (though satisfying) movie. Once you've finished the game, there's very little reason to play it again.
