Anyone played this ?
Tempted but the reviews are very mixed.

Have you tried the free demo yet?

I don't know whether it was the europe ps store I got it from but surely that would be the best indicator of whether you would like it

Taken from another post i made:

"Picked it up friday. Seems like it might have been a bit rushed.
They've dumbed down the game, and the controls are good until you need to move, look and fire at the same time (which is actually most of the time).

I've only played into the third chapter, but the difficulty spikes in places which can be annoying, some stages are much too short and others much too long.

If you're a fan of the AC games before this, its probably a bit of a let down. If you thought the previous games were too slow and overly complex, you'll probably like it."

Played it a little more since. Even though i like the AC games, they've never really encouraged me to play them, you almost have to force yourself.
Its probably about time they left the mission based stuff behind and tried more open ended gameplay.

Still no idea whats going on story wise, if there even is one (but none of the games really make that much sense) and the controls are still pretty awful for accurately flying, aiming and firing simulataneously.

Make up your own mind really....

After messing with a custom button setup, found a nice system to play the game much more easily.
Makes it much more enjoyable. Unfortunetly, the game ended at only 10 hours of play.
Might go back, but the hard versions of the missions are cripplingly difficult.
