Happysqurriel - "The reality is that Assassin's creed is (probably) a very good game produced by Ubisoft who just happens to be a pretty-sloppy developer; their best games have noticeable flaws which can dramatically impact a person's enjoyment of a game."
Agreed. The game appears to have a lot going for it, but just like the more recent Prince of Persia games (Sands of Time excluded, and Warrior Within emphasized) from Ubisoft, they just really seem to have a tendency to leave in a bunch of playability issues. In an extreme example, I remember my ex complaining that she was stuck in Warrior Within, and so I flipped her game on and tried to get her out. But the problem was she was literally stuck. She went through a certain level in some order the designer hadn't predicted and she had managed to confine herself permanently to one extended area. And all her save files were made within the area because it stretched for such a long distance. Game over.
