I don't rely too much on reviews anyways. I decide for myself. I do my own research.

Sometimes its best to keep your powder dry people.....

I am not sure infamous is the huge game some people here seem to think... most people havent even heard of it.

And btw... just who are these xbox fans that touted this game as something big, I need to call them a therapist.

This has nothing to do with sales!

IGN Review OPEN ME

Velvet Assassin could have been an interesting take on World War II by highlighting a facet of the conflict that's rarely covered by gaming. While it does bring in the secret agent angle, it also brings in a story that's completely thin and unsupported. Even worse, Assassin features flawed stealth action elements that can ruin the gameplay when they go awry, and only point out the hit-or-miss nature of the mechanics when they work well. If you need a stealth action experience, you'll probably want to look elsewhere

3.0	Presentation Story? What story? The tale would've been better if it had a conventional narrative instead of an flashback format that's never explained.
6.5	Graphics Violette isn't that fluid outside of cutscenes, there are a lot of technical issues and other visual detractions, like the flamethrowers or the seemingly cloned Nazi army, stand out.
7.0	Sound Decent rise of music during action sequences, as well as British and German line delivery, but would Nazis actually say Lad or Arse?
5.0	Gameplay When the sneaking mechanics work, they work rather well. When they fail however, they fail spectacularly. Flip a quarter whenever you load a game and you have the same success rate.
5.0	Lasting Appeal The game is extremely linear in its approach, and once you beat the game, you probably won't go back and play this one again.
5.0 Meh	OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average)

Good thing no one hyped it.

Share that list with us.

Oh... and your sig is all wrong.

Delivering tomorrow. Today. ??

Thats two sentences, the second one being "Today." Shouldnt that first full stop be a comma or a hyphen? Always willing to help the illiterate.

The list comprises Race Pro and Ninja Blade (though maybe there's another I've forgotten; not sure).

And my signature is fine. It's broken that way for emphasis.

I'd also appreciate it if you avoided slinging personal insults in my direction. Take a look at my profile to see which University I attend and then consider whether you should be trying to condescendingly educate me...

OH NO HE DIDN'T!!!

Mate, if you really need to drop things like this into the conversation you're clearly not properly conveying your supposed intelligence. A great many people on this website are clearly well educated, in a number of cases this is due to attending a prestigious university. But even at the greatest universities, there are a number of idiots, louts and fools.

Also, across the Western world, the last decade or two has seen a dramatic decrease in the academic lead the more well-known Universities (Oxford in England, Harvard in the States, Sydney in Australia) have over many of the counterparts, to the point that for the most part the broad lead is non-existent.

Now, each country has Universities that are known for prodigious talent in one or two faculties but are as any other in the remaining faculties.

OT:

Come on man, when did this game ever have hype behind it. I thought it was coming at the end of the year until a week ago.
