This is a top of the line game for an incredible price! The game has a great story line with plenty of action and a slew of weapons and powers at your disposal. It is difficult to get bored playing the different stages of the game. I can honestly say it's the best $12 I've ever spent, but this game is worth it even at a $50 cost! Don't think about it. If you love FPS'S you will love this game!

The story is pretty decent. Game play is challenging without being incredibly frustrating. The powers are where this game really stands out. Manipulating rats and telephoning are some of my favorites. My only complaint is that I am not getting sucked in as much as I had expected.
Worth looking into even if you are not big into stealth.

This is probably my favorite game I have played this year. Dishonored is a mix between a stealth action and a RPG game. In the game you play as Corvo Attano, a ex-bodygaurd turned assassin. You will go through (if you get the game) 9 very intricate, very well thought out levels. Each one will take you around 1-3 hours to complete, depending on how you play the game. Throughout the game you will be given choices on how to take out your target. This is where the game really shines. In Dishonored, you can take your target out by sneaking around the until you catch him/her all by him/herself and assassinate them that way, or you can just bust through the front and shoot anybody that tries to stop you (not the only two ways, just examples). If you can think up how to complete the mission, you can do it. This gives the game a huge replay value. The story itself can take anywhere from 12 - 24+ hours to complete which, while it is a long campaign, seems really short. This is counteracted by the fact that you can/will replay the levels just to see what other different ways you can kill your target, if you so choose...

I really love this game. I admit that flat-out. I love this game as someone who enjoys well-crafted characters in a well-crafted world. If you play video games for the story, characters, and general exploration, then go for it. This is an excellent buy that I highly recommend.
If, however, you play this game to test your own skills, or for game mechanics and such, Dishonored could be a bit of a toss-up. You'll either really enjoy the multitude of pathways and solutions, and the mass of fun and interesting powers, or you'll be disappointed by the short, somewhat predictable plot, and potentially straightforward nature of the game. (It doesn't have to be straightforward, but you can make it that way.)
Dishonored is a fine game. I recommend at least a play-through for any gamer. But this is also a game where you could probably stand to wait for the price to drop.

This game is a must have for any fan of the stealth action genre. The graphics and gameplay are top notch. You get tons of different weapons and powers. The only issue is that there are times when the framerate slows down. I've heard that it's not as big an issue on the PC version and is more of a console issue. Other than that, I highly recommend Dishonored. If you want some added game bonuses, go for the Game of the Year edition.

This game excels on so many levels. The story is both fresh and excellent. The controls and movement are second-to-none. The stealth aspect allows for one of the best covert operating protagonists in all of videogamedon. Likewise, a run-n-gun approach works well without being overwhelming (as most stealth games become). Easily one of my top ten games of all time.

I was very surprised when I started playing this game the graphics are very nice run smooth nice color very good controls and fun to play.
I've only made it half way through so far but it's one of those games where you progress with upgrades n perks really keeps my interest.
The game is cheap to buy right now but still would have paid the 60.00 If I knew it was this good when it came out.
