Is anyone except me playing this strange game (PC), now?
I find controls a bit complicated and painful - e.g. to climb a tall building you need to press and hold RMB + Space bar and at the same time navigate with WASD. Pickpocket is the worst - first, you press F to "lock" the target, then follow him trying to avoid suspicion, then at some allegedly right moment press Left Shift. If you fail, all armed guards will chase you. Pretty realistic (I guess  ) but a pain in the rear.

| | | I haven't played the game yet, but based on the feedback of some people who played it, they didn't find it good. Most say it gets repetitive after a while.

Actually, you might like this game, Des. Animation is great and combat is easy, and the hidden blade is rather cool. So far, no bugs.
The system requirements - you will need dual core processor and at least 1GB RAM (WinXP).

Guess I'll borrow it from someone and see if it's worth it or not.

The full system requirements can be found at PC Gameworld.

| | | Yes Lady D, I've played on Xbox...and the controls are a bit cumbersome to get used to....the detail involved in the graphics are very nice to look at...
In my opinion, its a good weekend game, something to play and not have to think to much about...
Our fellow member Ulfang has probably played it the most, of the people I've run into here...he might be able to answer any quest related questions.

Graphics are really nice, especially horses - the best horse riding ever.
Controls are cumbersome indeed.
Other annoying things, besides the controls, are the save/load feature and the map. The map is confusing to say the least. Game autosaves at the so-called check points so you can't quit any time you want without loosing data. And it takes multiple clicking to exit the game.
Otherwise, it is fun. Even the "dialogue" cutcenes are fun to watch - the NPC movements are so realistic.
We've got nasty weather this weekend so I am going to play a lot. Got to finish this game before my Fallout DVD is delivered.

F.E.A.R, CIV IV, Caesar IV, Doom 3, C&C 3, Oblivion, Hellgate: London (a bit laggy, but playable).
