I'll keep this brief; from all the videos the game looks great! Nice graphics, interesting enough story and a great use of the first person genre, what interests me though is the re-playability of this game, and a potential for repetitiveness.

Don't get me wrong, I love free running and Parkour, and the idea that the sport/practice is going to get a decent full feature game as appose to little niche sub-scenes in games (similar to that of the new craze of having a free running scene in every recent action movie...). In a sense, you could think of this like a skate game, sure true enthusiasts will play hours and hours of it, but for those who aren't skaters, and have never 'really tried skating, just become tired of the aesthetics...

I deviate, but what I’m trying to say, unless you've tried Parkour or free running then, after awhile the visuals will become boring, unless you do it yourself you can never really appreciate the difficulty of what’s happening on the screen.

I guess this is my urge to people to go out and try it, then hit game up and you'll see it in a whole you light. If you ever get bored of it just go outside and do the same and it will instantly appeal again.
