Even when some ennemies are red you don't have to kill them, just know where you have to go, it sometimes work. I agree with you tho, the "Combat System" killed a game that had just SO MUCH potential. I'm glad i rented it, but even disliking the game, i really enjoy being on rooftops, quickly find my whole circuit and just "run like hell" as you say. Other then that, the game is pretty bad.

HOWEVER, the game does have some good points. The story is surprisingly good IMO. Though i'm only on Chapter 7, it gets very interesting at the end of Chapter 6. The msuic is simply awesome, the one that plays during the scenes between chapters is very nice.

Despite what you said Caeel, I still want to try this game out to see for myself. I loved the demo. I played through it numerous times.

Im just gettin into it,and so far i agree with everyone,its frustrating and yes its difficult but thats not any reason to stop playing it.
Im just gonna keep repeating the same level over again so i know where to go and who to take down.
As long as i dont have to balance on any more of those frikkin beams again ill be fine.
There are bugs and glitches but what game hasnt.
Voice your complaints on the official site and maybe they will fix some of the issues we have with the game with a patch.

It hasn't come out in Australia yet but I don't think I am going to get it. I might rent it but I dunno. I haven't heard much good about this game

I notice your rant about the game mentions several times 'fighting game' 'poor combat'
It's not a fighting game, it's a running game. It sounds like you are playing it wrong. It is possible to complete the game without ever getting into combat with anyone (check out the achievements) the game did not 'try to involve too much combat' it tried to do exactly opposite.
That however might make the game quite difficult..

The game throws soldiers at you from every turn. In chapter 2 for example, you emerge from one of the massive drains with police all around you, and a door surrounded by Barbed wire fences. It's hard to figure out a solution to get over the fence when you're getting shot at by 5 people.

And I mentioned the fighting game, because that's what it seemed to be at some point. I know it's a running game, but I feel its incorporated too many elements from other games into it to make it a successful running game.

I did get the achievement for completing it without firing a shot, but that was on easy difficulty which is supposed to be for casual gamers.

I'm still loving the game. Killing myself on the freaking speedrun qualifiers =/

It sounds like you went into the game in the wrong mindset. But it is still a valid reason for not wanting to play any more.

Dang, I may be one of the only people who find this game enjoyable. Sure, its frustrating getting shot at when trying to find a way out of a situation, but that pressure actually helps me find a way out faster. I got the achievement for not shooting anyone my first time through, and I was playing on normal. Let me tell you, that was difficult indeed.

Anyway, I think that the reason the combat system was flawed, was because they just didn't try hard enough on it. It kind of makes you want to just run past everyone and gtfo. In fact, I found that the correct solution to many of my stuck points in the game; Just keep running.

Anywho, its at least worth a play through, borrow or rent it, I would not buy it only because its too short.
