Just because the characters movements are like something doesnt make it that.
looking at the site and the box i see no mention of Parkour.
A game or its developers cannot be held responsible for your "assumption" especially assumiing"its a Parkour game so must be free roam" there is nothing new with the movements of this character and you could easily say that her movements are based on Prince of Persia. every move she does is in that old chestnut. now if the game was called "freerunner" or worse "Parkour or die" (remembering the ol skate or die) then your conclusion of a free roaming/running game would be well founded.
Her movements have just been associated with Parkour, maybe because Parkour is reletivly a new sport (founded in france i believe) or they may have been inspired by it, but as said before there is nothing new with her movements just more pace focased as apposed to the puzzle focused prince of persia.
if you want a free roaming game your probably best off with some rpg's Bethesder softworks may be right up your ally, i know i love em.
im happy with the game, it runs alright and i enjoy playing it, so its linear, so is the human perception of the passage of time. you cant do anything about it, so just Chin up and lets have a ball.
you want a run around and jump off walls and such like completely free, the engines are out there, go make it. ^^
sorry for sounding a lil cynical but if people know what the perfect game should be, i wish they would just go and make it.

I completely agree with the above. BUT,
I do also partially agree with other people's statement, that the game would improve so much more, with a larger playing area. There is this one part in the game, where I thought I was gonna beat the system and see how far I'd go. and ended at an invisible wall, not even 15 in game feet away from the actual playing area, which kinda got me down since there WAS a police officer there shooting at me behind this elusive wall haha.
I hope they bring out an expansion of the game, with maybe an interactive online function where you can run together with 1-2 friends across an entire city freely.
