Flawed but brilliant and I can't stop playing! It sometimes makes me want to break things but few games are as addictive
This is the first game I've really been motivated to get all the achievements for and that's gotta say something... actually nailing an assassination is very satisfying. The storyline is pretty compelling too and although I've heard some criticism about it, it's hooked me in and I enjoyed following it till the end.
The combat is sometimes frustrating put fighting loads of guards all at once is great and it's easy to get sucked into the character.
I'd definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes third person hack and slash type games and also anyone who likes stealthy games.
I've also enjoyed the historical context of the game too and whilst it might all be highly fanciful, it has spurred me on to actually looking up something of the things in the game and it's been fun to learn about some of things.
