Splinter Cell/Thief for those with retarded hand/eye coordination. Being really pretty doesn't make up for bad gameplay

This game has very pretty graphics. Great looking environments and alot of bloom (alittle overkill, but still atmospheric). They really did a great job on texturing. Sound is pretty good at adding to that atmosphere, but that's really all it has going for it.

Splinter Cell is a pretty easy game, unforgiving at times from minor errors sure, but ultimately a very easy game to get through. Velvet Assassin is for people that couldn't even get passed the first objective in a training level from one of the Splinter games. You have limited controls to deal with (wouldn't want you to get confused with more than 2 buttons to push at any one time), and movement isn't terribly fluid. The actual gameplay style is repetitive within the first mission.

And if you're thinking of trudging through it for the sake of a mildly interesting story, you'll be disappointed there too. It's a stale, formulaic clap trap.

Absolutely retarded, and utterly boring as a 'game'. If you get off on moving a nicely rounded digital-woman's ass around on screen, this might be for you.
