Don't know if anybody noticed... But this like the fail of the year.  And no, there isn't a village called Moscow in Poland. But their lack of geography knowledge is enough to piss me off not to buy the game (lest I see Rome in Vatican).

Err, it was probably put there as an Easter Egg to show Poland's dominance over Russia and her mother capital, Moscow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Muscovite_War_%281605%E2%80%931618%29

When you see a multimillion company/game make an (apparent) mistake that grotesque, check your information. And, it's not a geographical failure (of your part) -- if you check, the city is where it's supposed to be, at the period -- but a historical one. Happens to everyone, but that shouldn't prevent you from buying the game.

All I see is massive fail on your part for trying to come up with reasons not to like an awesome game.

Yes, it is. Moscow has never been between Ukraine and Poland. But as the above poster said, it could be an easter egg. "Hehe, guys we were just testing you. Of course we know that Moscow is in Ukraine. 'twas an easter egg" And you're right. I wasn't going to buy it anyway.

I can play it without buying it lol. That's not the matter tho. i was just quite disappointed that the smart guys from Ubisoft made such a great mistake. But it's not surprising that no American isn't interested in it.

nice dig on americans, but i hate to break it to you.... the AC series isnt made by americans. the studios that worked on the AC series are all canadian and european branches of Ubisoft. so apparently nobody cares about russia..... and they shouldnt. here is why

Nah i agree with this guy. I bought Halo REACH, only to find out it was based on a planet named "REACH", when no such planet exists. Traded it in the next day.

Or, only you went to PCMania. Or Destructoid. Or any of the other many sites that have posted this.

I was thinking this too, and not only that, but turns out there's no such thing as an "animus" either.

Definitely not getting it.
