Will Assassins creed Be the first true next gen dissapointment?

Oh I realize, but a lack of game variety was one of the primary concerns in reviews (after bad AI that is)

And this is where i think the score should be lowered.

Its the same thing every town, you gather info, save some citizens, go to view points, its all the same. This is where the game is dissapointing, though assassinating targets is fun.

In terms of AI, its really not as bad as the reviewers put it. Everything works quite well, you run into people they get pissed as hell, and ive had a few people punch me for it. People are always watching you, always commenting on what you are doing, and in fights, ive had way to many times where ive had all the guards go for me at once. Ive had multiple times where if i brutally kill a guard, the other one will start screaming and running, and you chase him down and have your way with him ;)

Some really stupid AI are

-Guards chasing you for freaking miles unless you take cover (when your exploring the country, not the towns)

-Assassinating a guard, while the other guard is watching, only for him to walk over and go "who did this!"

- Some of the citizens are just plain stupid

-Overall your ability to get away with things is to easy. In some spots its alright though

-Guards on rooftops feel threatened at some points and point an arrow at you, you pull a sword and they do nothing until you kill them or provoke them. (sometimes they do just get angered for no reason)

-Riding a horse in a fast manner, angers guards, and for some reason going slow doesnt.....

-pretty much just little things.
