Gameinformer: 9.5/10

PRAISED POINTS: Storytelling, atmosphere, sea battles, variety.

COMMON COMPLAINTS: Bugs, AI, design choices, a lot of content but not rewarding enough.

It seems many reviewers think ACII is still the best.

The draw distance does seem to suck a bit.

Just me but that picture doesnt look impressive at all. I mean its the time period sure but that pic doesnt compare to a shot of Jerusalem

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Well, there may be more reviews, but this is the first one to appear on Metacritic.

It's from a Spanish site. It says it has loads of bugs and the draw distance is much shorter than in previous games :/

They gave the other Assassin's Creed games:

Assassin's Creed II - 8.0/10

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - 8.5/10

Assassin's Creed: Revelations - 8.0/10

So 8.5/10 sounds pretty good to me!

Italy’s Xbox 360 Magazine gave 10/10.

“An absolute masterpiece to which the experience remains indispensable for any fan of video games and beyond, with a depth of gameplay and longevity unparalleled in the action scene, a game that will remain in the annals for a long time.”

didn't they say it will get a patch because of some bugs or something? and this patch is out since yesterday or today not really sure so maybe they should at least play it few hours with the patch to know if the bugs are fixed.

I think based on reviews alone, this game will be GOTY.

It's either it or Halo 4
