    I find it ridiculous that Sam can only use Mark and Execute after a melee takedown. What? He has short term amnesia? He forgets how to do it until a good old fashioned melee kill suddenly reminds him what to do? And then after two M and K's he forgets again..?
    Not a feature I like the look of at all...
    That said, I haven't played the game (apart from the demo) - might be great in practice...
    It's just another of those gaming conceits which developers feel the need to tack on and which destroys any hint of realism.

    gwah, looks awfully complex (or massively automated) in the name of realistic organic action.
    no wonder it took them so long to develop it.

    Wow, so I have to put the cursor in the general vicinity of a target, then click a couple of buttons in order to see Sam perform a scripted act of violence? I can see why this game took so long to develop. I guess they went for scripted sequences instead of the much-vaunted cover-in-crowds and free form melee combat the game was supposed to have.

    I think this game could go either way the demo was fun but I'm still not convinced.
