Unfortunately, it provides the manufacturer with the completely unnecessary Animus history to leave no compelling medieval mood. Me, for example, interferes with the synchronization beam, which has no place in a medieval game just nothing. The eternal conversation Inge between now and the middle ages also means that you can be difficult to identify with one of the two protagonists.
Duch the Animus system one has the feeling that it will fast forward in the wrong places or is not just fast forwarded. Less jumps between now and earlier and more believable characters in the present time would have been nice.
The control is really only useful means of X-Box Pad. My personal favorite, the input via the keyboard and mouse has unfortunately not proved. This is probably due to the console port, but will not let me so well to come in in the title.
Compared is GTA IV, even if only partially comparable, much better:
- Mood
- Operation
- Variety
- Credibility of the characters
- Identification with the protagonists
There is still much room for improvement. A second part I would probably want to play, but then please with a better story and without the Animus nonsense.
