I was hoping it would be more like the hookshot from Zelda.

Warning : never tell Ezio to hook you up with someone...
Also : never use the phrase "where's the catch?" with him

Oh and and like your shoulder wouldn't dislocate every time.

@The Nasty Nick Why would your shoulder dislocate from rolling over someone and doing a hip throw? I'm way out of my fighting prime and I can still do the throws in that video.

I now expect the modern-day assassins to have a hook-blade/grapple thingy like from Just Cause 2.
