I don't think that was an hour, but whatever. It's not fantastic, but it wasn't exactly terrible, either. Definitely had some budget title aspects to it. The concept is interesting, but it doesn't look like it really affects gameplay to an enormous extent, except that occasionally you have to NOT kill someone (and it might mean a wider variety of weapons). Only once during the demo did I really have any inclination that my character was in any sort of peril - it doesn't really sell you on the risk. I'm not sure I understand this whole "don't alter history, but here's an assault rifle" angle. The video at the end elicited a chuckle.
