Dishonored

Despite all the processing power this generation of consoles have to offer modern games all too often want to just funnel the player from one cinematic set piece to the next. For me the very best video games, such as Half-Life 2 and Deus Ex, provides the player with an interesting game world and lets them decide how best to make their way around it. Fortunately Dishonoured allows you to do just that.

Each and every mission provides players with a number of possible solutions made all the more interesting by the different powers (that are far more than just the usual fire and ice spells so often seen) and weapons that can be found or unlocked throughout the course of the game. As a result it is possible to complete Dishonoured without killing a single person or, should you choose, you can simply kick down the front door and fight your way through.

The only criticism I could level at the game is that it is perhaps over a little too quickly, my first playthrough took about 12 hours, but it is certainly a game I will return to and play differently at some point. This is certainly one to buy.

If stealth games are your bag then you'll like this game. You can choose whether or not to kill or just incapacitate (the game says you get a better ending if you try not to rack up a huge bodycount so that's my incentive for being a good guy at the moment)

Graphics are ok - nothing spectacular. For me it's the challenge of navigating areas with lots of guards, trying to take them out one at a time. The upgrades system seems pretty good - collecting runes to add to or increase your abilities.

Overall I'd recommend this game - I don't think it's a 9/10 game but I'd score it about 8/10.

- Very Quick Play through 6-14 hours.
- Great Stealth Features and Abilities 9,10
- Mean Attacks and Animations 9,10
- Weather 4,10 ..Plain..Boring..
- Graphics 7,10 ..Doors look so bad..
- Overall Rating from yours truly 7.5,10 Game, sell afterwards.

It's a must buy game. Even though there are 9 missions but hopefully add on missions, but you can reply the game over and over again and make different decisions on which way to go or what to do. JUST BRILLIANT!
