Review: The reviews I have seen on the game have been unfairly shocking, so far the biggest minus I have heard is that its repetitive.......WHAT GAME ISNT? Even the top mmorpg game World of warcraft with its million quests and things to do gets repetitive, there is no game out there that does not. The way I see it you have to judge a game by what it personally means to you. Just look at the grounds this game has broken and stop focusing on the little things, give Ubisoft their due credit at least its not ANOTHER fps. Stupid reviews are gonna stop game companies from trying new things and shaking things up a bit because they will be too afraid to make a game that everyone will grab their magnifying glassess for.
Pros: Ground breaking Graphics and gameplay, finally a game that has not got the same old control setup... actually so many good points its very difficult to list.
Cons: The bad points in this game are so minor that are not worth typing out, my only real issue is wastidge... one wonders what this game would have been like if fully utilized a Blue -ray disk instead of HD-DVD.
