    What I wouldn't do for wallpaper sized versions of these... I found the city to be breathtaking while playing the game just wish there were more high def images of things like this

    @calibretto23: I agree with this comment. They're darkly luminous which means that they would really look swell as PS3 or computer wallpaper.

    I am going to go out on a limb and say two things:

    1. The buildings are shockingly out of perspective.

    2. I am tired of the "Gotham City" look. And I love Art Deco.

    These are cool, but I'd really like to see some interior shots, too.

    I'm interested to see where this franchise goes, but I hope they improve the gameplay a bit. Bioshock was top notch with story and design, but the gameplay got a little repetitive.

    @tipsymongoose: you know, I never understood it when people say "the gameplay got a little repetitive". you're playing a game with a story. Were you expecting to shoot things then go race around in a hovercar and then paint a picture and dash your wizard's staff with some magic spell? yeah i guess you're right....

    @acrobatic rabbit: By "repetitive" I meant I could replay the same level over and over and still get the same experience as playing the game all the way through. I'll admit most shooters are this way, though, with a few rare exceptions.

    @acrobatic rabbit: What tipsy said.

    And oh God, the first Assassin's Creed was *awfully* repetitive. Gorgeous game, great setting, neat mechanics... and then you realized it was just "Dragon's Lair", repeated ad infinitum.

    The level of world building for both these games is what sucked me in, the richness of detail... I love the Art Deco , totally out of it's normal environment. Can't wait for the game...
