I actually found this game quite boring, lol.
Not open-ended enough for a game where you run across roofs.

Good! It's about time they released some games that make you grow a pair.
I've liked the concept of this game since I first read about it. However the reviews and opinions of others indicate to me that it's a solid rental.
I'm about to try out the demo, but what I basically foresee is a unique single player experience that's only worth playing once.

Not like that.....
Basically, one of many examples, you end up in a mall and there is only 1 way out. It's a pathway on the roof of this massive mall centre. On the bottom floor is an endless wave of cops flooding in with machine guns making it almost impossible for you to stop and think.
Now, if you die, it respawns you facing the pathway to the roof, but on the 2nd floor of the 4 floor mall. I thought - hey, maybe it respawns me here for a reason. After dieing 20 times to see if I could find a switch or maybe a jumping pad or a pole - I decided maybe there was an elevator on the first floor. I finally get down to the first floor after dieing more, and there is nothing there except for the popping-cop spawn.
I go ALL the way back up to the 4rth floor where you start off, and find out that I missed a tiny doorway that leads you up to top of the chandelier where you have to platform across to the pathway out.
How stupid is that?
It respawns you in a place that completely skips where you need to go, offers you no sense of where you have to go, and while it's at it - the game decided to keep spitting SWAT teams with machine guns that kill you in 4 hits.
That's really my only complaint about the game. It's rather annoying because thats not the only time that occurs. Alot of the game is trial/error.

See, to me that's actually a good thing. The game refuses to hold your hand at times, forcing you to figure things out for yourself.

Forcing you to figure it out yourself while having to respawn 30 damn times is another.
