I rented this game from Blockbuster and almost finished it in a little over a week...it was good. People compare it to Kill Bill due to the assassin subject matter and nutso storyline, but it actually made me remember how I felt before I went to see Pulp Fiction (and also the Matrix).Both times, I thought I would not like either movie, but voila, I went and I loved them.
Same thing here. It's just fun to slash at enemies with your beam katana (A button on the Wiimote) and then do a motion at the end for a finishing wrestling move.
And lots of blood all over.
I did not beat the final boss at the very end, but I made it to assassin rank #1!
I know people at work would think this sounds crazy - but it's even "casual" in some ways.
* It's organized into pretty small chunks that can be satisfyingly finished in an evening (save up money for entry fee to attack the next assassin, train up at the gym, and then go beat each boss)
* Gameplay itself is not frustratingly hard - I played at the easiest difficulty and it wasn't completely cake but also was forgiving enough that I wound up almost finishing. And I'm not good at combat games.
* The story is fun and pulls you along from segment to segment - creative to save "on the toilet"...
It's not a big open world like GTA but then, it doesn't really need to be...
