    Such a outstanding storyline outweighs the shabby graphics and game engine and, for me, makes this a classic. However people must not forget the graphics are like that since this is based on a comic book series. I really enjoyed playing this game and am a little gutted there is no sequel :(. Definitely worth the buy.

    Graphics are interesting but another example of the poor publishing job by the French company Ubi Soft. They are ruining the software industry.

    Interesting style. Crapy save system. What is the point of a quick save system when it always brings you back to the last save point. Graphics are mediocre. Below average polygon count detail. Textures are bland. Performance is good.

    Would've been an 8 easily if it didn't suffer from (typical) console-itis. By this I mean, as many others mentioned, the complete lack of a useful quicksave function. I can't remember how many times I had to repeat tedious trial-and-error sneaking levels simply because the next guard 'round the corner spotted me. On one occasion an alarm was sounded by a guard who wasn't even anywhere near my line of sight! Frustration should not overshadow fun in a game; players should not constantly be penalized for a single misstep. (I really do loathe games where you have to sneak around most of the time anyway, unless they have working quicksaves/quickloads, or you can at least blast them with some silenced weapon). The tragedy is this is something that could have easily been fixed by a short afternoon of coding had they cared enough to put forth the effort. And that's pretty much the impression I get playing this game: lack of effort. Expand

    Really poor installation documentation and implementation of copy protection ( you cannot start the game with the CD that starts the game...and there is no documentation even mentioning that...now, THERE's a slap to the user ) plus a severe lack of a properly functioning save game feature prevents this otherwise promising game from even being worth messing with. Needs patching immediately, but seems to suffer from a severe lack of support as games released since this came out have had patches already, and it's tech support forums seem to be focused merely on the game's problems being user-related rather than the obvious flaws that scream for repair, like the broken save-game feature. Too bad, too, as it looks like it could have been fun....I left it installed for 2 weeks but finally got rid of it due to lack of proper support from the publisher. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excellent game.It has only one - and that is saving , because you will always get game saved on last checkpoint.Everything else is for 10+ except graphic which is for 8.5 in my opinion . Nothing more to say because the score shows everything else Expand

  1. Adequate in most areas, but beneath the cel-shaded exterior, there could have been more substance to make the title really stand out.
  2. Sadly the AI isn't particularly good. While enemies do dodge out of the way and hide behind objects there's no intelligence to the way they fight.

    A solid, competent shooter, one with a unique presentation and a story just intriguing enough to keep you playing through the end. The simplistic combat, generic design and savegame oddities keep it out of the realm of greatness.
