Pro:
- Sensational graphics with an eye for detail
- Innovative development of weapons (hook blade)
- Some interesting "Moves"
- Abolition of some Pointless tasks (. Eg renovating the tunnel entrances)
- Faster load times when entering / exiting of buildings in the game vs. its predecessors.
- Better-game overview of the weapons and equipment inventory
- From the beginning, an acceptable equipment (parachutes, poison, etc.)
Cons:
None are really gripping story like its predecessors, really thrilling game came from beginning to end not on the first steps in the game promising -
- Hardly subplots to play only one game straight strand after
- Doubtful because you never have to use some weapons sense many weapons or really needed to disable a target
- Subplots or characters / groups are structured / presented and simply disappear from the story / game (eg the Roma camp, serves no purpose.).
- Long running paths through the city where the time will be very boring. The strained through the city on the roofs ropes are indeed at first a game innovation, but not really an advantage during fast locomotion
- No more horses (I feel as a disadvantage and the already mentioned "ropes" are no adequate alternative)
- The bombs are in my opinion a gimmick, especially the bomb genera are a disappointment as 4 different bombs have passed since the effect differences are rather meager when similar bombs
- World Map is superfluous Assassin orders boring because you do nothing except his assassins to send somewhere, was not particularly interesting already in Brotherhood
All in all the game is not bad, that's why 3 stars. But expectations compared to its predecessors it has absolutely not satisfied. Dear begin at AC 2: For fans of the series a must for beginners.
