Team Xbox has a quick look at the new title from Namco Frame City Killer. The game seems to be taking heavy influence from the film Bladerunner in style as your character Crowe tries to tackle a drug overlord, moving through a garish neon city hunting his prey instead of going about his business guns-a-blazing. The game seems to focus a stealthy distanced approach to finding your enemy before finally going for the kill.

Throughout the game Crow will be forced to stalk his suspects before actually taking them out. This could mean tailing them from their house in the morning, going to the gym, grabbing some coffee and so on. It’s up to the player when in that span of time, or perhaps later in the day, that the evildoer will bite the big one.
...
The game will make use of the time of day as Crow will be working around the clock. Some objectives are better suited toward the nighttime than eliminating targets in broad daylight.

The full preview can be seen here. (http://previews.teamxbox.com/xbox/1022/Frame-City-Killer/p1)

There's a video, but it didn't run too well for me, what I did catch looked the part though.
The 360 library seems to be shaping up quite well already.

Sounds good, will this be a launch title?

Just mentions a late 2005 release so if it stays on course it shouldn't be too far off the launch itself.

Yeah, that video is FUBAR but it looks like a pretty decent GTA clone.

Meh. Graphics look like PS2 but with realtime movie playback on textures. Lighting is C-R-A-P.

It's using UE2 it seems (definately didn't look like UE3). So that's probably limiting them somewhat. I'm sure they were rushed, it doesn't look like its going to be stressing the Xbox2 all that much. Could be fun though.

EH... looks "okay".

Doesn't look like anything that's gonna make me run out and get a 360 for...

Interesting, but combining stealth with escort-like gameplay doesn't sound like a great idea to me.

Looks terrible, to me.
