It's certainly an amazing game, with free-roaming similar to Jak and Daxter (you can go ANYWHERE at ANYTIME, as long as you've opened up the location), and free-running that nothing comes even close to. The combat, once you figure it out, is almost a joy, and entirely worth slaughtering a random civilian just for the sake of ramming your knife into a guard or two's skulls. While not excessively complicated, it requires a certain finesse to truly master, though button-mashing will work in some cases. For a real treat, equip the hidden blade in open combat, and perform counter-attacks (just make sure not to try this before you've regained the counter ability).


All of that said: This game is not worth buying in my opinion, unless you want to get all of the achievements via multiple playthroughs. Aside from the flag-gathering, and some of the more enjoyable missions, there's little to no replay value, in part due to Ubisoft's incredibly annoying habit of NEVER letting their players skip cutscenes. We couldn't in any of the Prince of Persia games; we can't in this game. While the cutscenes are made more interesting by the ability to occasionally change the view (and get an achievement for doing so), they're not worth viewing multiple times within a few weeks, and can even get tedious on occassion.

RENT IT, AT THE VERY LEAST.

its a bit of both, you are sometimes in a crowd but you blend in. if you act like an ass and push people around and stuff everyone starts staring at you and the guards get suspicious of you and if they catch on, they attack.
