Ryse: Son of Rome - Developer Flythrough: Rome

A bad game in a beautiful dress.

Too bad the game doesn't let you explore anything, just hack-and-slash through the once Kinect-only events.

Trailer makes me want to play AC: BROTHERHOOD again. Now there's a game where you can actually explore Rome, albeit in a different age.

Sorry Crytek, not feeling RYSE. Looks nice, but with friends having played it (Gamescom) and said "it's boring," and the fact you can't explore... *meh*

It's very impressive considering the Cryengine doesn't use baked lighting like Unreal does. From the gameplay I've seen though it looks like this will be a very linear game without any room given for exploration, it looks damn near railroaded.
