    Velvet Assassin takes you on a wonderfully written journey through a world without meaning, but this version of World War II is extremely confusing to play. Read more

    Overall Velvet Assassin is a perfect example of what not to do when creating a stealth-action game. The title insults the source from which it gets its story ideas; the story there is plenty yet filled with holes and... Read more

    • Game gets so dark its hard to see sometimes, inconsistent all over

    Based on the real life WWII story of Violette Szabo, secret agent and saboteur extraordinaire, Velvet Assassin is a first-gen game disguised in next-gen clothes. Read more

    This game of assassination was brutally executed. You’re a highly-trained British assassin sneaking around in the shadows inside a Nazi bunker in World War II, searching for your mark. Read more

    Even the early stealth games weren't as tedious as this affair is. While the main character looks nice and I do like the environments, the AI of the enemies is baffling and the game is just another in a long line of the usual... Read more

    Velvet Assassin is one of those rare games based in World War II that shy away from you being able to absorb a copious amount of bullets before dying. Read more

    • Very atmospheric. Steps away from the generic grizzled hero soldier seen in most WWII games.
    • Lackluster AI, lack of control and depth

    • It is so cool that this game is based on a true story. This game made me fall asleep in school, seeing as how I stayed up all night playing this game. There are different ways to assassinate the enemy and it supports the X...
    • Nothing but the fact that the game is so hard!
