Assassin's Creed

My god does this one get repetitive and devolve from action RPG to button masher with a crap combat system.

The first views of the "old" world are stunning. The building and city designs are stunning. The modern world looks like a cheap afterthought like they got their jr. designers to bang out a level.

The gameplay itself after aboiut 4 assassinations becomes mission repetitive, get an assignment, go to a city, talk to the bureau, gather some evidence, go to the bureau again, then go off someone.

I was sooo excited when i first synchronized the world, that we were opening into a gorgeous and deep world. In reality it becomes all surface without the gameplay to match. The combat system is not worthy of the where the game ends up as a button mashing fest, and the frame rate glitches in the boss battles maddening.

How this got above a 7 blows my mind. When bioshock and Mass Effect were truly original and imaginative.
