Assassin's Creed II

Decent game with unskippable cutscenes and no save option.

User Rating: 5.5 | Assassin's Creed II X360

The part where you play an assassin is a lot of fun, but getting to that point is an excrutiating chore in which you watch the same unskippable cutscenes over and over again because you can't save the game whenever you want.

And like the last one, I've never had to press so many buttons to exit and enter a game. Between that and the cutscenes, it's like they don't want you to actually experience the game, only anticipate experiencing it.

That said, the visuals and gameplay once you manage to navigate your way into the actual part where you play an assassin, it's a very fun and smooth experience. But before you play, have a lot of patience, and maybe a book or TV handy.
