Well, my 14 y/o boy just bought the game and reported back to me. He got it for his 360 I am assuming. Here's what he thinks:

"First of all, the graphics are just incredible. The best he's seen in any game so far. The story takes place in the present", he says, "but they are after the background of someone in the past. The enemies are pretty strong. And there are 9 missions."

He says there are'nt many weapons, and you get new weapons after completing a mission. He says the whole thing is not like any other game, as far as rewards go. He was'nt real clear about that. He said there was no errors or anything like that and gameplay was smooth.

Again, he just got it. But he says it's now one of his favorite games. So, I am also assuming that the story is pretty good, of course, the graphics are what I expected, and the gameplay is worth playing. He also believes that it will be game of the year. Just on the graphics alone.

From an Amazon review:

The AI in this game has been criticised for being somewhat stupid, but in my view it is very realistic. The AI portray the fear of being in a swordfight with a master swordsman (that's your character) very well indeed. The AI often do not attack until they are goaded into it by their leader, and unless there are two leaders in the fight they will not attempt attacks in combination with another NPC. This is very realistic - in real life poorly-trained people will usually not attack when another person is doing so.

All-in-all, on this issue I think many players have been led to expect AI to behave like elite soldiers, but I think that's a false expectation. In this game you are the elite soldier and the AI soldiers are frightened conscripts who need to drum up courage in order to attack you. The voices and animations are very good indeed here, with soldiers cowering in fear after you kill someone and with the leader saying "Attack him you cowards!" or something similar in German or French. Anyway, the fact that the enemy attacks piecemeal one by one helps you out: if it was otherwise this game would be extremely frustrating - you basically wouldn't stand a chance with more than two opponents.
