Had all the potential in the world. Turned out to be GOOD but not EPIC.
PROS:
--great graphics and atmoshphere
--good voice acting
--some chases can be thrilling
--you feel powerfull, taking out whole groups of soldiers
--the horse riding looks good
--lots of npc's walking around
--immersive storyline
CONS
--the combat gets old after awhile
--gets annoying having to pickpocket throwing knives everytime you run out
--some missions are repetitive or overly difficult
--you cant climb "everything" and its annoying to run into something and have to find somewhere else to climb
--the gaurds can be alerted for stupid things, or totally oblivious ( kill someone right in front of them)
--he cant swim at all
--not really alot to do
Overall this is a good game with some cool ideas and a unique storyline and setting. For that I give it credit. But it couldve been so much more. And in the end you dont have as much freedom as you thought you would. The highpoint of the game for me was the riddles at the end allover the room. Sets up some very interesting questions for the sequals.
