The game was made in Scotland, so I guess that means it's awesome by default.

It takes a while to get used to what is going on, and at first you're really pretty lost as far as knowing the locations of the ship and finding your quarry. There's a high sense of paranoia in this game as well, especially when you're walking around a corridor and some guy keeps following you. It's an interesting game, but I'll have to play it more until I can really say for sure whether it is worth buying or not.

Sounds great... been reading reviews & watching videos, I've actually come to like the graphics a little more than I did. I havent played any videogames for over a year or so, but I think I'll get this once it goes retail.

I played it last night until I finally came in first place, and I enjoy the game a lot. The game can be extremely frustrating, especially when you've been tactfully following your target for 2 minutes, then pull out a knife and stab him 3 times only to have him run away into some random cabin and you get completely lost in the map. Learning the maps is one of the most important aspects of the game as far as I can see, because knowing where weapon locations are can help you out a lot. There is a weapon for kill list, meaning there are certain weapons that change throughout the course of a game that will give you a lot of money if you kill your target with said weapon. I think the list is arranged in order of which weapon has not been used to kill with yet, but I'm not sure. Either way, that is the key to winning the game.

The needs you have to take care of (identical to The Sims) do not get in your way of destroying your target, unless you go 10 minutes straight without sitting down or sleeping. Usually you can fulfill enough of your needs when you're arrested and thrown in the brig to not worry about needing to take a crap when you're being chased by your hunter.

What I realy like about this game are the endless tactics you can use. This game really allows you to use your brain to eliminate your target and stay safe from your hunter. Changing clothes takes your identity away, making it harder for your hunter to identify you, lounging around at the bar after your kill to prevent yourself from getting wacked, and closing doors in discreet locations to find out who your hunter are just some of the tactics you can use.

The game is best described as "Clue" combined with "The Sims" (but not as annoying as The Sims is). This game is not for everybody, that's for sure, because you can only run for a few seconds at a time and you're always wanting to move faster to get away. Rember the tactical mod for MOHAA? That's about how slow you move unless you're running. This is probably what I love most about the game though, because it gets your heart pumping when you turn around and the same guy keeps following you around and you have to wait until your stamina goes back up to run again. I almost shat my pants last night when I couldn't run and my hunter pulled out a sword and came sprinting at me. I ran into a walk-through bathroom and closed 4 doors behind me to buy time, then I walked into a bar. That's how practically every round goes.
