Ok I loved this game the moment I started to play it, great graphics and great story, not to mention a massive improvement over Assassins Creed with your own city to look after and command of your own small army's, there is one thing however that killed this game for me, The lack of autosave, the little diamond on the right side of the screen doesn't mean **** apparently, I played this game for 5 hours straight, I only did 2 missions and most of it was city upgrading, collecting treasure, finding glyphs and buying every item I could get up to the point I was in the game, I turn the game off thinking It autosaved my data, oh how I was wrong, It was only until today that I realized "HEY, why do I have leather armor on and why does the city look so dank", It was because it didn't fking save, seriously the first game had this flaw too you would think Ubisoft would pick up on that after 1 game, no wonder people hate them, because they never learn and they make stupid **** like the required internet connection to play Assassins Creed 2 which is an OFFLINE game, the first time I played it my internet went kaput and I just lost 2hrs of gametime, I gave it a second chance and it bit me in the ass, thats why I gave this game 6.0 because no matter how good a game is, it's useless if you can't save it. /endrant/review
