First of all I want to say that I played it for 2 hours.
2nd I was disappointed because I expected you would have the feeling like in GTA that you're completely free to do whatever you want. I mean the world is interactive enough in GTA to drive with your car , buy clothes , ect... But in AC i don't have that feeling I think the world doesn't feel interactive enough for me. Out of the missions.
3rd the combat and stunts aren't as cool as I expected.
4th if you have a 360 I would wait for Mass Effect and if you have a PS3 i would wait for Uncharted.

I only played it for 2 hours so I can't say very much.

 

Echoing this, and I would also like to add really bad AI. One of the video reviews showed how you can kill a guard right in front of another and they won't even attack. Also in sword fighting (when in defensive) they wait calmly to fight you 1 at a time, so it really kills the sense of urgency.

I was really expecting something close to the feeling of the Theif series in caliber.

I wouldn't say it's bad, the low-mid 80s metacritic score seems fair.

I preordered and prebought this back in February when it was scheduled to release in March, so this was huge on my list. Maybe my expectations got the better of me, so my perception might be a little unfair.
