crapy and shitty game, short, easy and look horible...

It has a cool story though, and some nice voicework... feels like a Michael Mann film.

I rented it for the PS3 and enjoyed it, but wouldn't buy it.

Its an alright game , not too good on the gameplay side of things but the story is definitely good. Theres a movie adaptation coming y'know :P

It's kinda average. Very consoley, not good on the PC at all really. It's very very similar to Hitman, which yes is a great game, but also shows why this fails. Hitman is all about stealth, hopefully in a level you'll NEVER shoot. The same engine and aiming system are in this game, for mowing down hundreds of people every level ,and it just doesn't work. They needed to make a NEW game really, rather than using the same tech from Hitman. Why they thought it would work when the styles of the game are completely different is beyond me. :?

And it has the strangest bug. The game will freeze every 2-3secs ... the problem? Saitek Eclipse II keyboard .. :shock: Either using a different keyboard or going into device manager and disabling the "USB Human Interface Device" relating to the keyboard will solve the problem. Disabling this will stop the volume up/down play, pause etc buttons on the keyboard from working. The game will now run perfectly smoothly!

What a bizarre bug, I'm glad i found the answer on the Eidos tech forum or I woulda been scratching my head for ages!

The Eclipse has this problem as well. Windows thinks it has the additional keypad device. You have to disable to entires in the device manager.

I know Thief 3 and Advent Rising have problems when the entries are enabled.

Um.
I use saitek eclipse II and have never had such a problem.
