cheater_1's QUICK review. A to-the-point, fact filled review for the masses.
The graphics were PHENOMENAL. Top notch.
The BAD:
Everything else. I won't detail everything here, that would go against this being a QUICK review. The voice acting for ALTAIR (the main character) may actually have been performed by a robot. HOW the heck can such a person get selected to be a voice in a video game? Monotone throughout. In even the most DRAMATIC scene, the voice actor delivered it like he was talking in a library.
Repetitive. All the cities looked EXACTLY the same with the exact same goals to do in each one. I'm not lying by saying that after 10 minutes of playing this game, you will find NOTHING new to do. OUCH!!!
Short. Under 15 hours of gameplay for a DVD is INEXCUSABLE!!!!
Frustrating gamplay. By the time you figure out how to actually jump to the next building and grab the edge without falling to your death, or acquire enough skill to defeat the mobs of guards, the game is nearly over.
This game had HUGE potential, but failed. Rent it on a Friday, give it 5 hours a day, and return the COMPLETED game on SUNDAY.
