There\'s a lot of mixed reviews. Many of the more negative ones seem to get more attention. Aaron better get his emo on.

kind of funny how polar opposite the reviews are. Either 7 or 9...8 sounds about right. Worth 60 bucks, but im hoping i can get it for 40 at frys. Some cities said their ad\'s had AC for 40 bucks there, but i checked mine and it was nowhere..its not on their site either.

Kind of a pain to drive there..do you think they\'d sell a game at different prices at different stores? i wouldn\'t but i\'d still imagine they would\'ve had it in their ad

I ordered min for $51.99 + 99 cents delivery. I\'ll get mine by Friday.

people who actually got the game are starting to talk..getting me just as excited about it as before (still keeping aware of the flaws though)

The reviews bash it because all of the missions involve the same order of like eavesdrop, beat someone one, and pickpocket then assassinate..but there\'s a lot more to do in the game than just those 4 steps all 9 times...but the reviewers don\'t have time to dick around with the game so that\'s all they do.

Granted it\'s a little dumb to go through all that work and have the same 4 steps in the main story, but with a game built from the ground-up, which looks amazing (animations included), gameplay can\'t possibily match up to that. Not saying the game will be bad, but hopefully theyll be able to put a bunch of focus on the gameplay in AC2 since the graphics/physics are all done

Whenever i get a ps3 i\'m still gonna pick this up,...the game looks amazing, it is kind of a letdown that this game doesn\'t reach it\'s full potential, but i\'ll just have to judge for myself, like viper stated, the scores are a little extreme from 9\'s to 7\'s....i\'m also kinda bummed that kane and lynch haven\'t gotten high scores as well,...i was hoping that game would\'ve gotten much higher scores(i still like the action in kane and lynch tho and i\'ll probably end up getting that too)...the only game that has been truly stellar so far is drakes fortune...which will be another game that i\'ll be getting....

great game

Only complaint up to one assassination (i did all the investigating..havent actually assassinated yet) is that you do have to use the "blend" option a little more than i was hoping. It makes you walk painfully slow and is pretty unrealistic sometimes.

But killing people, running away, the fighting, the parkour, leap of faith is all done really well

I\'ll have it this evening, will post impressions later.

OPEN MIND LIC!! lol.

It is repetitive, no doubt about it, since it\'s the same 4 things leading up to the assassination. Still love it. Im seeing that if you only do the story and not dick around, you\'ll probably hate the game...hence some of the bad reviews

was there untapped potential? of course..but like you stated, they were very close to biting off more than they could chew with this game, and it took them 4 years to make it what it is today..they concentrated on the smoothness of the game. Main 2 lacks is that repetition leading up to the kill and the AI is questionable sometimes. If you dont use the blend mode, that fixes half the AI problem...the other half is unfixable. Basically, if you start fighting some guards, ull end up being "unwanted" after killing a certain amount, and eventually the guards act as if you didnt just slaughter 10 guys.

Not that there\'s a set amount of kills before that happens, but it seems like if you kill the guards that saw u make the first kill, those are the only ones that react to you..it doesn\'t transfer over that when guards seeing you fighting some guards that a bunch more come...probably because that would be never-ending. Hard to explain..more guards do come but not like an insane amount, but it does feel like it ends prematurely sometimes.  But at the same time, when you kill like 10 guys and theres still one guard left, he runs away sometimes,haha

sry for that cluster-fuck of a post

That actually works for me, as I hate the idea of being wanted all the time. I suck at sneaking around, so most likely, I\'ll kill some guys, scale a wall and be happy.

I\'ve yet to use blend mode, I just muscle thru and kill any guards I encounter.  So far, the game is fun, but not great.  I hate the map, maybe I\'m just not used to it - or maybe it\'s my disliking for maps in general. Right now, I am just running around rooftops, drop down, kill a guard, repeat and rinse.  Guess I need to do something to progress the story..heh

when you gain abilities, it gets subtly better. Counter kills never get old since theyre all awesome. Dodging i havent figured out yet..but the one time i got it to work it was pretty cool.

Not sure if by the map you mean the layout or the actual map u lookat in pause. You have to go on those tall towers and "syncronize" to unfog the map

My only problem with the map is i wasn\'t expecting the kingdom to be so heavily guarded..it\'s like 50 times worse than the city where u can walk around with no problem. Not sure what point they were trying to get across with that.
