Time for another review here. Ive had this game for some time now, but just got around to playing it.
The storyline is simple, your a contract killer. You stop killing and move to a monastary in italy. Some thugs come and kidnap the priest and your forced to resume contract killing to rescue him. Yes it is a bit cheezy, but it works for me.
This is a 3rd person shooter, I also have read you can change it too first person, but I havent tried to change it, it plays just fine in 3rd person mode. Different than most shooters however is the fact that stealth sneaking and disguises will get you farther than just killing people. You can choose the rambo route, but that probably wont work on most of the missions.
I have played through the first two missions and Im stuck on the 3rd mission. But this game is pretty hard. Expect to play through each mission a few times to learn the correct way to get your job done, or read a walkthrough. Even reading a walkthrough wont make it much easier, but it will give you an idea of which routes you can take. The levels so far are huge, and each one has multiple ways to take out your target. I hope they keep this design up through the whole game, something they didnt do in the original.
The graphics in this game are pretty nice. So are the effects like snow. I would give them an 8-10
Sounds are well done, and the voice acting is decent too. 8/10
gameplay is pretty good, although it can be really hard at times. 7/10
Overall I give this game a 7/10. If you would like to see what its like to assassinate people this game is for you. Or if you enjoy a slower paced shooter that involves more strategy and thinking, check this game out.
