This is a MUST OWN for any 3rd person action fan.
The visuals are fantastic. This is one of those games that you want to put on when you have friends over who don't own a 360 or this game just so you can make them jealous. This game is fun just when you're watching someone else play! and believe me, it will make your friends drool.
The gameplay is just amazing. Running through the cities from rooftop to rooftop feels so smooth and the animations are perfect. Have I even mentioned the best (and most obvious) part yet?? You're an assassin!
The stealth kills and swordplay are so much fun.
A lot of people say this game is very repetitive, and it is. BUT, let me tell you something... working your way behind your prey and stabing them in the back with a stealth kill, or running up and jumping on them and stabbing them through the neck as you land on them NEVER GETS OLD.
The freeruning in this game is so fun and well done that you'll want to climb every tower and viewpoint.
My ONLY complaint with this game is that there is only 1 save game file that autosaves, so once you beat the game you have to start over from the beginning.
This is really only a problem becasue if you're like me, as soon as I beat the game I wanted to call all my friends over so they could watch me play it and see how amazing playing as the assasin is, only to realize I had to start at the beginning again with my none of my gained skills/weapons and health.
So what did I do?
I played through the game again, got Altier beefed up again and then called my friends. lol.
