Looks very cool, kind of like a Dark Ages version of Splinter Cell (which was a very fun game). The video was grainy but from the screenshots the graphics look good, and the gameplay looks plenty challenging, although the seemingly unlimited number of flash grenades in the video seemed pretty cheesy, and if you can sneak up behind someone you should be able to cut his throat in a single attack instead of having to swing and swing. I guess I wish most games these days were more realistic, a guy with a sword would kill a thief character in a single blow, and a crossbow in the face would kill ANYTHING. If you have a bow equipped, you're just NOT going to get a shot off with a guy standing right in front of you swinging a sword. That dope stood and waited until the target was on top of him before shooting. In a realistic world, a thief that's been detected by two armed and armored guards is going to die unless he can outrun em.
Of course I'm still going to give it a try once it comes out for the PC... looks like a fun game and someone will come out with a realism hack that fixes all the problems.
