Um... 6 miles is not over 9000km. The conversion is something like 1km for every 0.6 miles. I think what you meant was 6 miles is over 9000 meters. The next common unit of measurement down in the metric scale.

It wasn't the controls so much as the fact that you could only absorb 2 hits (max) before dying at higher difficulty and your swords reach was much shorter than the guards. Flash bomb + backstab took away some of that difficulty, but I tended away from that since it seemed too easy and not very...

I love the line where he says "Garret was never a fighter. He can take on one or two guards but not more than that." Did they even play the original?
