Arguably my biggest disappointment of 2007.
For a game that should have been perfect for me, along with the insane production values, it was a game I genuinely wanted to like. But the initial twist so you're not actually playing the character, but accessing generational memories of a distant ancestor, the fairly clumsy combat system, the repetitive gameplay, etc. all amounted to a gaming experience that felt like a real chore to play through. Couldn't get into it, despite wanting to follow the plot to the end.
I still want to finish this game, but every time I start, I'm reminded of just how much fun the game isn't for me to play.
Unless AC2 is confirmed to change the gamebreaking issues I had with the original, I won't bother picking it up until it's a Best Hits/Platinum title.
