"Assassin's Creed was slightly above average"

I think there are two perspectives on this one:

Assassin's Creed was incredible beautiful, had the best game setting for years, Brought huge cities with thousands of inhabitants to Action gaming, debuted awesome controls for moving/jumping/climbing that are sure to be copied by many games to come.

It also had some flaws regarding game balance and was a bit repetitive.

If you look at the ++ section it blows Mario out of the water. Its just new, fresh, awesome. On the other hand Mario has no downsides (I mean the concept is true and tested') So it very much depends on your priorities. Mario is definitely the more polished experience. But there is nothing that can compete with the view of Jerusalem in AC.
