In terms of looks it does look very nice. Dark and eerie and a little twisted.
Sure we all know what it is about so I'll not go into that.
But the one bit that could be the disappointing fact is that when you finally find someone to "take out" you sneak behind them, aim at their head and press X or circle and then watch the "event" take place through the CCTV camera.
Now I'm not sure if removing the ability to play and do the killing yourself is to avoid it being banned or just the way they feel it should be but it seems that having spent the time sneaking around, looking for someone who is alone, then waiting for the right time you would want to give them a good smashing yourself and not watch the game do it for you.
Just hope that it dosn't just involve hiding away and pressing x to watch the computer kill folk for you...

Its looking the mutts.
Read a lot about it and watched both trailers so far and this is going to be the game which I think will put Rockstar on the map for something which isn't just a game for violence. Its ironic that a company renound for high levels of violence develops a game where you have to avoid getting into trouble as much as possible.
The kill system works by sneaking up on your enemies with a weapon and waiting a set amount of seconds. The longer you wait the more violent the kill is and also waiting longer will please the director whom in turn will be more forgiving on your soul (or not as some sources say, double jeapordy perhaps?!) The stealth aspect is the biggest part of the game as it combines elements from Splinter Cell, Tenchu and Hitman and compiles them into one game.
I am backing this all the way to be a Christmas blockbuster title. A Rockstar cash in? My senses tell me otherwise on this occassion but with only a couple of weeks to wait all will be revealed soon enough.
