Advantages: Novel concept

Disadvantages: Not much to do

The term "Free Running" is basically just running up walls and climbing jumping etc , If you can imagine Tony Hawks without the Skateboard you'd be on the right track, I seen a few videos of it on youtube and although theres some impressive athletiscm I still thought "Whats the point?" of course there isn't one but you'll see lots of youngsters risking their lives jumping off buildings all because it looked good in a movie , Which if I remember right was called District 13 or something like that.

So naturally videogame companies have cottoned on and decided to go for it and try to capitalize on this fad before it gets old. So we have the very thought provoking title of "Free Running" to keep us busy.

Graphics - Not bad, but what we've come to expect from PS2 games now, only games like Res Evil and Metal Gear really go all out for graphics nowadays and this one sits on the Ps2 average fence.

Gameplay - It's ok but there really isn't that many tricks or moves you can do and as you progress through the game you'll feel like you're not really doing anything that different.

Sound - Nu-Metal and upbeat Ska-Rock abounds but to be honest its all quite listenable and pretty much fits in well with the game.

Overall - Well theres not a lot to come back for and for me it wore really thin really quick, the premise of the game isn't bad but there really could have been more thought put into it to make it more interesting. Average.

Summary: A decent idea but poorly executed
