I hear people say this is a cool speed game but the standard game is pretty meh. The level design is rigid in pathing and use of mobility. Any deviation is either death or some garbage FPS combat. On the other hand, there's a lot of cool ways to utilize movement and there are cool ways to make skips through this. I might appreciate this game more from a speedrunner's perspective, but honestly, this game makes me feel too nauseous to even bother. :(

The game thrives on its flow when running through the levels, which unfortunately rarely happens because this is a typical trial and error game. It slows you down permanently because of your mistakes and not only through that, but also through the poor and imprecise control and non-intuitive pathfinding. The game needs to be more polished for what it wants to be. In addition,an Unreal Engine 3 game, which, who would have thought it, also means that it runs poorly and is prone to errors & crashes

While the concept sounds amazing and the game is absolute rush when it works, it sadly doesn't work more often than not, and 1st Person and Jump'n'Run just isn't a very workable idea.

A great concept! Even though at first I thought the game would have been better in third person like Assassins Creed after you get used to the controls and view it becomes an amazing experience.

Trash..Did not like this..

Urban terror jump mode is better.

There's no way I can finish this. Awful, trial-and-error combat, story is cookie-cutter and the characters lack personality. I have no words to describe how unimportant this game feels to gaming. Interesting idea, lacklustre execution. Doubt I'll be checking out the sequel.

it was really fun and i loved the graphics and style but i got stuck too early

The PS3 version was very good. The Windows version with keyboard not as much. Rating is for the PS3 version

Very fun street-runner game. I only finished the first level, though. It was good.

This is one of my favorite games of all time, because it exemplifies what a game should be: the idea that you can get into a character, do things you couldn't do in real life, and have "oh my god!" moments that feel awesome to pull off. It certainly comes with some flaws, like the writing being hokey and the game being relatively short (I don't mind the gunplay being not so good, it's not the point of the game), but overall this is a game that is why I play video games in the first place.

Oh look, a game that isn't open world is better than its open world sequel. Are you telling me linearity is okay?

I enjoy this a lot because I'm a big fan of parkour but certain areas of the game leave a lot to be desired. The cut-scenes with 2D animation are fuck-ugly, look like E-surance commercials, but the actual game visuals are great, especially the color palette.
