This is a decent game and if you can get it cheap okay. But what i don't understand is that this could have been a great game if Ubisoft had spent the time to polish it up. The NPC's are quite glitchy sometimes in an amusing way but once or twice i have hit a bug where I had to quit the game and restart it to continue. My other complaint is that the controller buttons are overloaded, meaning that a lot of the button combinations have multiple uses, as a result you can easily find yourself somersaulting backwards off of a building that you were trying to climb, the open combat is pretty randomly bad to the point where i think Ubi could have substituted minigames for fights and it would have been an improvement. I think that a little more effort on refining the control scheme would have had big rewards.
Don't get me wrong, the game is worth playing for the scenery alone but another 6 or 9 months of development and this 3 star game could have been a 5 star game. I am sure the bean counters at EA determined that the number of additional copies a 5 star game would sell was not worth the extra development effort to perfect the game but IMO it is really a lost opportunity.Get more detail about Assassin's Creed II.
