Velvet Assasin has recently been released, so it it worth the buy?
Go to the source to read a handful of excerpts from different reviews ....

Stealthy meets sexy in Velvet Assassin, Replay Studios' World War II stealth action title based on the true story of female Allied secret agent Violette Szabo.

As she lay dying in a military hospital, British MI6 agent Violette Summer lives out a series of espionage missions through a series of flashbacks. Using stealth and disguise she infiltrates deep behind enemy lines, taking out enemy soldiers with a wide variety of killer moves as she strives to cripple Hitler's war machine and extract revenge for the death of her husband by enemy hands. The game features a rather interesting morphine mechanic, in which shots administered by a nurse in the hospital trigger a bullet-time effect within Violette's subconscious.

It's an intriguing concept, but we've seen plenty of World War II games and stealth titles come and go. Does Velvet Assassin rise above the rest, or is it lost in the crowd?

    I thought this game looked pretty cool until I saw the awful AI. Now there's no way I'll pick it up, especially with Saboteur coming out, which has the same concept as this game but is actually good.

    Funny to see the Xbox magazine be the most critical.
