Due to my undisputed satisfaction of gliding down ziplines in Farcry 3 and Tomb Raider I thought this game would be right up my ally. Unfortunately due to its confusion of whether it wanted to be a shooter or a free running game it didn't quite hit home. In fact I could feel the torrents of geek rage trying to be unleashed as I fell to my death...a lot. The tutorial gives you a brief combat run through in case you need it and then spends a long time showing you all the moves of free running, but towards the end of the game combat is a necessity and with the little practice I had, found it quite difficult. There was also one bastard move where you run on a wall and jump to a platform opposite that appeared about 500 times throughout the story. Without being able to do this you can't progress and most the time it required some haste in doing so. Still a good game for my free running feeling but the story felt a bit weak and I didn't really feel any connection with any of the characters. Faiths character design is pretty awesome but I don't remember anyone else except some guy named Hope...but I think that kind of stuck there from the last game I completed....meh.
