am i the only one playing that game?

available on xbox live, a steam version will be available too.

a fun Stealth Based Platform Game.

there are more than one way to deal with all the traps, guard and dog in the various city landscape.

you can try to be stealthy, do a no kill run (or both) or just having fun with guards.

the overall graphics are pretty immersive playing with ligth/shadow and blur to dynamically show you only what you can see from your ninja point of view.

also sound is an important aspect of not being detected.

A good number of the old unmod group has been gushing over it (specifically Ace!).

Oh yeah! Just finished it and that game was a blast.

It's from Klei Entertainment, the makers of Shank, so mind-blowing artwork & animation was to be expected. Though their take on stealth is a keeper for sure.

The game offers much more than it seems at first glance, with gameplay possibilities opening up drastically after completing a few stages and acquiring seals.

Most features are extremely well implemented and this is a case where game design serves the fun rather than arbitrarily constricting the player.

Story is standard fare overall, but there are a few twists that keeps it interesting, and even a few daring surprises near the end to spice things up.

The clever level design brings plenty of variety, yet the addition of challenge rooms made for an even more engaging experience imo.

Sound design was also excellent, with immersive ambient songs and cues to reel you in and keep you focused on the action at all times.

Imagine a cross-over between Ninja Gaiden and Metal Gear, with a retro sidescrolling vibe turned up to eleven in terms of quality.

Highly recommended.

Bought this game last night after playing the demo. Then playing it again. Fantastic game.
