No offense, but your argument reads "Hata's gotta hate, so I'm gonna hate"
I'm going to put aside Metacritic for a second. I've never been the one to say "this review means you have to think this way"!, though you have to admit that this game has won over almost every single reviewer universally.
It's almost like you took a hiatus from video games the last 5 years, then came back and are complaining about universal changes designers have made to video games.
People like this game because of the story, gameplay, action, stealth elements and a thousand other reasons. It's the original voice actors from the animated series, its the mind trips you go on from the Scarecrow onward... It's the joker.
Scripted? Almost every game nowadays is scripted
"Just follow the guide and push buttons" - Again, almost every game nowadays is like this.
Too easy? Put it on hard mode
Overall games have become much easier, been more scripted, and contain a lot of the elements that you are singling this game out for.
It's an amazing action game, has a great story, and pretty damn smooth graphics. I'm not sure what else you could ask for out of it.
Also when factoring in GOTY, this game is going to be close. I sincerely feel like AC2 is going to recieve mixed reviews, only because some people will stop at nothing to hate the franchise (or Ubisoft). I feel similar about Uncharted. Do not be surprised if Halo:ODST recieves one of the highest ratings this year. Reviewers seem to have a hardon for bungie games.
