Silk Spectre February 5, 1945 Violet Szabo (Violette Szabo), exhausted 23-year-old spy and the secret object of worship of all anti-fascist world, came out firing barrack camps Ravenbrook accompanied by a platoon of machine gunners. On this walk, it was never returned.
April 30, 2009 Violet Summer (Violette Summer) is negligee on a hospital bed in the main menu of the game Velvet Assassin. Looks like it does not matter, it is surrounded by watchful men in black helmets, and for each pixel breathes fear and hopelessness. Her name is now a little differently, that's probably only for the better - all the same reference to history and patriotic heritage and the other "to remember the" fallen out of the game somewhere else on the stage of the first announcement. A small but severe Replay Studios is clearly closer to three-eyed superspy Tom Clancy than all historical women together. In this regard, the choice of Violetta Szabo as a source of inspiration is understood clearly: anyone, it is clear that a woman Superagent default interesting male agent. On the inverse image of her heroic example, you can write on the box - let authors Splinter Cellzaviduyut.
It should be understood that the development of TPS with a woman in the lead role is always fraught with the temptation to make Lara Croft, stand in such a situation may not be many. It is already clear that charmed his own heroine Replay Studios for the past six years, famously rode downhill on the move log saber one after the other pillars of the genre and quality indicators: the final version of the Velvet Assassinzadnitse protagonist paid a million times more attention than everything else including the face.

Too beautiful to be funny The game meets our autumn falling leaves, iron music from some of David Lynch and news that outfit heroine stuck together with a parachute on a birch tree, and so kill the enemies and blow up the fuel tank will exclusively through knife. Violetta is clearly very little inconvenient to communicate to the player such nonsense (by the way the girl commented on everything that happens in a hospital bed - until a certain moment the events unfolding in her memoirs), so it is to be rehabilitated in the first minute brisk cuts the throat drunken Nazis, and then the other two, sober. "Fatality" accompanied by the bloody and vicious German rainbow mat - victims of the screen is filled with blood but not surrender.The heroine of gazelle leaps from the bushes, dark corners and special spy manholes, graceful pacified armed dubolomov one after the other - soldafony dutifully go to the whistle and get knife across his throat. All you need to sabotage carefully laid out on the room in the worst traditions of Splinter Cell, which, however, does not interfere occasionally stray from the tour route and get lost in broad daylight: the Germans - and the wild creatures live, as we know, strictly in the dark. All fear!

Sometimes Velvet Assassinpytaetsya be serious: telling tales from the crypt scary dynamic shadows and strange sounds around the corner, shows the Notre Dame at sunset (Wildly beautiful sight) and generally behaves as if her development takes a minimum of Ubisoft. Here, the wonderful scenery and is not hopeless animation (the general Internet community especially liked the trick of pulling the checks out of grenades, dangling belt enemy). Sometimes the game tries to be a stealth third person shooter with a historical background - the game, sometimes exquisitely drawn and well-posed. But almost always in the Velvet Assassin something goes wrong.
Too funny to look beautiful Every first second Velvet Assassin turns into things lasciviousness. The drama turns into farce on the verge of No One Lives Forever: Nazis bad voices are discussing among themselves the next plan (the player must combine with an unpleasant useful - in the "dialogue" buried clues to the passage). Here and there, caught frivolous letters and little notes, and the heroine now and then change costumes, choosing which of them up her ass looks better - in jeans or maybe a unitard latex?

More - more: Violetta in front of our eyes injected morphine itself and turns into a murderous ghost in a nightie, walking across the levels in a cloud of bloody lumps and kill enemies with a knife in the stomach, the average viewer of such a spectacle for a long time into a trance - to understand what is happening, not so it is simple, and try in general not necessary. This wild surrealism did not allow himself even a noble schizoid Max Payne.
Sooner or later it becomes clear that all, without exception, the levels are designed in the style of Cubism, items of equipment (pistol, protivogazik, rifles, ruzhishko, pulemetik, etc.) are useful strictly in designated places (well, if not in one single place) and Artificial Intelligence behaves as if his eyes at the back, and obliques.Shooter turns into a puzzle in the worst sense of the word: guessing routes monorail hours - not the most exciting in the world of work, but the surroundings ... Crazy, disregard and wandered here is clearly an oversight on the entourage left. Velvet Assassinprikidyvaetsya a Splinter Cell, is FEAR, then Silent Hill (!), Then Resident Evil (!!), but in the end and do that becomes clear. This little bit of good-natured insanity, mistake, which should not be there - the only element in Velvet Assassin, not giving the game finally and irrevocably become okoloeroticheskogo "Packman" with the Nazis.
