    Sparked interest but lost it at "Imagine all the violence"...

    Nothing against Violence really, but I am skeptical when I see it as a selling point. #iointeractive

    This actually makes me want to give the demo another shot. I played it for three minutes and shut it off, dismissing it as a budget mess.

    Buuuut, this makes me consider that I just didn't give it enough time.

    Perhaps I shall!

    @(Zombie) The Forgetful Brain: ever since the Left 4 Dead demo on Xbox360 I've been giving demos at least two shots, especially if they're of a genre I'm usually not all that interested in. It's gotten me to buy and enjoy several titles I otherwise would've dismissed.

    This one, however, felt to me like a fun game, but no more than a renter, which isn't possible here, so for me it's a true "wait until it's €15" title.

    Luke, IO should send you some money because your review convinced me to buy the game. I loved the demo, but couldn't find any real feed back on the game. This was exactly what I needed to hear to push me over the edge.

    Tried out the demo which was decent but very bare. There didn't seem any re4ason to use any of the other ninjas since only the main character could use magic.

    @Taggart6: This is a crazy idea but,: I don't think your right, I played as the girl in the demo and got her to play a flute and she hipnotized all the bad guys around her giving her time to kill all of them. I'd say that is pretty magical.

    Glad to hear you liked it, Luke. I was charmed by the demo, and I'll definitely be picking this up once it hits. It felt like Wind Waker meets Ninja Gaiden to me.

    I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm in love with this game (Wii version). It has amazing vistas, really neat "do whatever you want" approach to reaching goals, exploration and fun enemies. I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but "Mini Ninjas" "Tenchu Shadow Assassins"*! I really need to finish this game before "Spyborgs" arrives.

    *And I love that one too, btw!

    Played the demo on XB360, then picked up the game on Wii (because the wife likes Mini Ninjas, but hates the XB360) -- surprisingly, I've yet to notice any real difference between the two (other than a little bit of waggle).

    I see, as the demo would suggest it relies solely on exploring and combat/stealth. A bit suprised at the overly positive review i must say.

    It'll be a budget title for me, where at first it was a no-buy

    I could never get into these games. I tried the second one, and It would take me six or seven tries to complete the assassinations, with a good number of those screw ups being because of an enemy randomly noticing me for no reason at all. Or the alarm sounding for, again, no reason at all.

    My word man, this is good news. One of the aspects I love about the Hitman series is that it's created by one developer. They're doing great to date, so why switch?

    Also, it's one of the few series that hasn't been divvied up among multiple developers resulting in too many games on too many different platforms and the ultimate watering down of the brand's image.

    You're doing great, IO!

    Excellent news. Now we don't have to worry about extremely exclusive horsecrap or system pandering.

    IO have been doing a good job so far, even if the series is getting a bit stale. Hopefully they'll be able to freshen it up without killing it.

    I don't think handing it over to Rocksteady would make it any better. We'd just get an entirely different game with the Hitman name slapped on. That's not a slur against Rocksteady, that's just how "guest development" goes.
