Excellent fun, fast paced, worth the 20 bucks

I originally heard about this game a year ago when I bought Counter-Strike Source from a Steam advertisement. Not thinking much of it, I came across it yesterday and I've got to say, this is a game. Chasing someone with an axe, only to run into one of the safe zones like the dining room or cafe is one of the most fun/awkward experiences ever. Public places where there are NPCs, or lots of players will get you instantly arrested if you pull out a weapon so you'll end up sitting down and having a drink with you're would-be assassin. The characters are great, little east Asian women in straw hats suddenly pulling out samurai swords is so ridiculous its great. Since you can't walk around with a weapon drawn for fear of arrest, you never really know what anyone else is packing until clinch time. This makes for added tension because you're target might be hiding a machine gun under that turban, or nothing at all. Finding weapons is a big part of the game because you start with nothing. You will have to search through luggage and sneak into crew quarters to find things. You might find an umbrella or a razor in a suitcase, or a candlestick on a table. Sneaking into crews quarters can get you arrested but there might be a rifle or something well worth the risk. Great game, doesn't seem to be a big community though, that would be the only downside. You can always find a game, but sometimes you'll find yourself playing a level you'd rather not due to lack of options.
