I have played about 2 hours and am almost finished with sequence 2 and I am in love with the game. It is a bit slow to begin with but I think its still great and is way better than brotherhood and revelations. Its just as good as AC2 too, IMO. I would give it a solid 9 so far and I haven't ran into any bugs at all as of yet.

Sounds promising. I like games that start out slow and I like to take my time with each Assassin's Creed game, usually putting up to 40 hours into each one of them.

Red Dead Redemption started very slow too and that's an absolute masterpiece.

Ya I am taking my sweet time with this game and taking it all in. Everything is bigger and better in AC3.  The controls and combat are very fluid and the animations are kickass.  Although, the combat is changed a lot from the previous games and is hard to get used to, but it is so much better.  I don't agree with most of the reviews at all.   But yes, the game so far is promising.
