Going into the game I wasn't really expecting much. Sure there are people like KTVO who say it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it has also been refered to as the unflattering yet comical "ass creed", so I wasn't sure who to believe. The first thing that stood out to me when I started would have to be the environment. The way people are dressed, the dialogue, and the buildings are all very well done, and you really feel immersed in the time period. The biggest problem with the game would be the repetitiveness of the missions. Before you get to assassinate your target you have to do the same things over, and over, and over again. The game's story is interesting so it'll keep you motivated to keep going. The ending, however, is total crap. There is absolutly no closure and leaves you wanting to know what ultimately happens to the protagonist.
Pros: Sweet environment, great open world game play, intriguing story, kristin bell!
Cons: Repetitious, horrid ending, combat isn't great.
This game kicks ice!
It's only 30 bucks now so it's worth buying.
