i really like this game, picked it up last week and am almost done with it. i know its part of a trilogy so i want to see what is going to happen at the end. my only gripe about the is not the repetativeness of the missions (like pick pocketing or interrogation) but when you save the citizens, they only say like 4 different things, i mean come on, at least have them say like 10 different things. its ok though, hopefully they improve on that in the next two. other than that, graphics are beautiful. i really like the cities and just going through them, really nice game 8.5/10 and i have it for xbox 360
and btg, why not get all the view points till you've killed everyone. usually i do all the missions first like view points, save citizens and 6 investigations before the assassination.

Never played anything like this. Totally awesome. Controls take quite some getting used to, but damn this game is good.

Great Game
Yo BTG!! That happened to me in Damascus, but I realized you have to go to the now unlocked area of the map. Listen to where the bureau hobo says, he'll tell you "check out the hospital in the south-east or bla bla.
I climbed all the view points and found that if you look in the distance you can see eagles still flying around citadels and minarets in the distance. Often if you just browse around those areas around where he initially tells you to check, you'll see the 'pickpocket' text come up and that means they are in the area.
My advice, listen to the dude's info before you start the mission!

Very good advice.
Man. Do I get annoyed with the beggars, drunks and lunatics, especially during a mission! They annoy me so much I just slap the hell out of them or just straight up kill them with the hidden blade. Maybe that's a little too harsh for the beggars, but it's not harsh enough for the drunks and lunatics who shove you around for no good reason like you're some bitch. Fuck that!

I beat this game yesterday, but not without experiencing mass frustration. This game IMO doesn't have too much replay value for me so I traded it in today for $30 in store credit. Not too bad. It was fun while it lasted.
Not only that but I can def live without that glitch that caused the game to freeze. Bye bye Assassin's Creed!

I like it, like you said takes a while to get used to the controls.
Graphics is amazing, haven't played a better looking game yet (no i haven't played crysis)

Just finished the game - and I have to say I can't wait to go and trade it in.
I'm glad I played through it, but by the end it just seemed to drag on for so long - and the story is nowhere near compelling enough to warrant it. Throw in one of the most god-awful-not-satisfying-at-all endings I've seen in gaming, and my final score is a 6.
Showed loads of early promise, but couldn't hack it in the long haul.
Going to pick up Mass Effect as soon as I'm done with the dishes

Thats what Im hearing...Apparently the initial awesomeness is through the roof, but the game has no replay value and gets repetitive after a while. Thanks for the confirmation, if I wanna endure this Ill rent it.

To be fair, it didn't really start wearing on me until the last two assassinations, which is the last hour of the game - so it was a lot of fun to that point, and didn't cease to be fun afterwards, the ending just was so unrewarding it hurt.

And quite unlike GameSpot, you can def trust RJT and DA's reviews of this game, 'cause there ain't no money on the line hahaha.

methinks RJT should wait til he's almost finished a game before posting his reviews
im still in two minds whether to pick up the director's PC cut which sounds better than the original but that not necessarily saying much.

boring. Easy. No replay value. Try to go on collect all of them flags and understand why I'm saying that. I'm glad I borrowed that game, it's another one for the "piling dust" category.
