A game that combines the best of Assassin's Creed and Grand Theft Auto, count me in!
I would recommend buying new so you don't have to pay the 240ms points to have the midnight show unlocked. Nothing worst then having this game censored. It would be a crime.
Best thing to start talking about is the visuals. They can be at time breathe taking. I love the Black and white and how it fits the mood of the people. As you start doing free play missions and storyline missions that area starts to bustle with life and color. People start fighting back and your character encourages them too. Has comments like there are people fighting for you. Don't give up.
The mood and cut-scenes are excellent. I have to say the music and voice acting also fits with the era. The main character is a crusty Irish man. Being Irish origins myself i love it. Most characters are full and nicely fleshed out. The story is good. I have to say this game will take a while if you wanna have all the achievements and all the free-play completed.
The free-play events like its counterparts in Assassin's Creed and Grand theft auto can be repetitive but you know what. I knew that when i bought the game and I like doing the different styles of free-play missions. Climbing buildings is easy and encouraged to escape.
I will warn this game is full of language and blood and nudity(especially if you unlock the midnight show) So it is not for the younger folk at all.
Overall if you like that style of noir game. and like doing missions that can be rewarding but repetitive then this is for you. To each his own tho right.
