It's a good game, I enjoyed the fact that I was playing an assassin, but in a different time period, which made a nice change from all the modern day shoot em up games, as in this one there are of course no guns and things are slightly more hands-on. The graphics are good, as is the general plot line.
The alternating between spying, pickpocketing and beating information out of someone gives a great diversity to the game, and a lot of attention is given to every little thing, even just the whisper of wind when up high. A good game.
