| I was playing single and multiplayer demo and I find it great. I think that this score is much too low. This game deserves 8 or even 9 points. Try to spend some time playing multiplayer or killing enemies as Reverend to feel the spirit. |

| As the review mentioned, the Reverend levels are good fun, but the levels as Billy aren't. They're not terrible, but the stealth isn't implemented all that well. |

| This game is boring. Overly polished but bad maps and gameplay. Not addictive at all, even in the first level you got stuck way too easy. This game ain't too hard for me, it just can't attract me. |

| I think this is one of the best games I've played for quite some time. Technically it's well implemented, very stable (no ctd so far nor other rarities) and quite fun to play. Maybe the "enjoyment curve" is geared towards the fourth and subsequent chapters, but I don't care to play a "lengthy introductory section".
The story may be somewhat predictable but the duality of the main characters also adds points to the fun factor. Anyway I must agree with the oppinion that some elements are a bit underdeveloped as the different weapon modes of the reverend, but I've generally enjoyed the stealth elements, being a Thief fan for ages.
If I had to set a score I'd select 8.5/9. |

| That game reminded me of far cry. I had the same feeling to be "in the game". Graphics are beautiful and gameplay is awsome. I would have given a 9. Even the horse part was not a problem for me... great game! |

| There IS an on-screen indicator of how visible you are. But I agree that the stealth parts were ill-conceived. Still a very enjoyable game, overall. |

| Where is it if you don't mind saying? We doin't get instructions with most review copies and we don't remember it being explained in the tutorial. |

| The guy reviewing the game obviously sucks at it. The stealth parts are really not that difficult. Use the indicator. The horseback riding part were my favorite. How can you say running across that beautiful landscape sucks? You do realize you can customize the controls so the horseback controls are 10x earlier. I love how the reviewers never mention that. The gunshots sound amazing. It handles beautiful. Billy's missions are pretty fun too, I loved climbing that Eagles Rock. Most fun I've had in a game in a while. Remember, if these reviewers knew what great games are, they would know pure action does not have to be required to make a game great. Not all FPS are gonna be Half Life quality. I thought this game was fantastic. The scope of the levels, the awesome shoot outs, the great voice acting I think this review is way to biased. All reviewers focus is on negative things. I give this game a 9/10. A very refreshing shooter. |
