I have noticed a trend to the reviews specifically the negative reviews. The game is a platformer and some reviewers expected something more verbose. The game is at times to realistic for its own good. I suppose if realism isn't your thing that can hurt. However it does seem somewhat unfair to compare a platformer to a action RPG or to Grand Theft Auto.
I think the best judgment is this does the game do a great job being a platformer. Not whether it can pull off being a jack of all trades. Do we tear into Mario for having a painfully weak story line. Do we attack Mario, because the gombas are painfully stupid. Do we attack Mario, because the goal in every level is basically the same. The answer is no, but Assassins Creed is getting shafted for having those problems.
I think some reviewers expected one thing and got something entirely different. The problem is they never seemed to drop their original expectations, and judged the game based on those expectations. They thought they were going to get a action RPG, or a Grand Theft Auto. They got a platformer, but they still were thinking of the other two as they played and reviewed the game.
