I wasn't expecting it to be out already, I've been keeping track of the release date on gamestop and it had the release date for May 12. Hmm.. looks like I'll try to get this soon.

I have always been interested in the game. I saw that IGN gave it a 5.0/10 so I might just rent it.

After playing it, it should had been higher than a 5.0, I don't understand some of IGN's complaints, then again you can't spell IGNorance without IGN.

Yeah, some people on this site gave it higher scores, some gave it an 8.0 but I don't think it deserves that high, but that's just me. IGN says the stealth doesn't work right, I don't understand what the reviewer meant by that. Though the other 3 reviews do complain that's linear and while I agree, I like the slow pace nature of it, I also found it to be difficult, which is good for me. The highest score I've seen on a review site is 7.5, it's somewhere around there, maybe a 7.0 from me. As you can see, I use reviews as a guide. There are some games I like that Gamespot rated low, like Mario Kart 64(which got a 6.4). Different strokes for different folks I guess.

This is a really cool game. I don't get the negative reviews. The lowest I'd score it is a 7.0, but personally, I'd give it a 7.5-8.0.

I find the lighting, shadow effects, visuals, and art style to be stunning. They're not the best out there. Obviously stuff like Cryostasis, Crysis, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. look better, but I believe this one's a beauty.

The gameplay is simple enough. There's no fancy gadgets, just you and your knife, and sometimes a pistol, shotgun, etc. The ammo is extremely limited, though, so this is a pretty hardcore stealth game, and it can be very tough. There's a lot of trial-and-error involved, but it's rewarding to finally succeed. It gives me a Thief vibe more so than a Splinter Cell or something.

The story is pretty good. But my favorite part is the environments. The environments tell a story; a story of true horror. It makes you want to eliminate every nazi scum. There's a real feeling of sadness.

It's not perfect, though. There's some flaws, but nothing serious.

I beat it. It lasted about 13 or so hours.

Not a spoiler, just a part of a level.

Did you get to the part where there's a lake in the center, and one guy walks across the bridge, and the other guy is off to the left in the grass? It's when you only have a knife, and your sneaking abilities, even with 3 stars, don't make you fast enough, so it's nigh impossible. The 2 guys walk so that when one guy is facing the other direction across the bridge, the other guy turns around, so there's like no way to cross the bridge. I had to do this like 40 times before I got it out of luck. I had to keep whistling, running off, and making the A.I. go crazy. So damn frustrating. All of mission 11 was tough for me.

I don't think I got that far, but the game is tough, there was one section that I did over 10 times, LOL. No wonder the reviewers didn't like it, it was too hard for them.

I noticed that pretty much every site gave it a low score except Gamespot, lol, weird.

I kind of want it but I'm really in the mood for some fast-paced games atm so I won't get it for a while.

Yea it kind-of seemed like ign just wanted to blow through this review to get more "excited" about inFamous which I just think is totally unfair. It's funny because I'm torn between coming on here or somewhere else 'cause I felt the same way about Halo Wars.

The easiest way for me was to pop a headshot off from far away right after the cutscene, then that alerts them, and run behind the car with fire that was right before the cutscene. Pick off the flamethrower guy from afar, then pick off the rest as they come to you. You should be able to get an angle that you can hit them, yet they can't see you.

After that, hurry and run to the church and get behind the tree on the far right. After that, just pick off the guys as you see them. Once again, you should be able to get an angle that you can hit them, yet they can't see you. Just make sure to pick off the flamethrower guys before they get close.

After you kill all the nazis, a cutscene will occur. Don't bother with the door. Just hug that tree on the far right.
