Difficulty:

Just Right

Time Spent:

10 to 20 Hours

The Bottom Line:

"Almost, but not quite"

Graphics: 9/10 The graphics are very detailed and the environments are sprawling. However, there is alot of filling in of textures.

Sound: 7/10 The sound is well-done-- in particular, the voice acting is great. However, it, like many other things in the game, is repetitive. You hear the same lines over and over again. The music is well done, and the sound effects from the clanging of swords is, as well.

Control: 9/10 The control is generally tight, with only a few minor flaws here and there.

Content: 7/10 The assassination missions can often be intense and the stealth element in general gameplay is good. The biggest flaw is the constant repetition-- saving citizens, gathering information (which only amounts to a few tasks in each mission that are basically the same tasks as previous missions). The storyline is good, with a couple of surprises along the way.

Total Score: 8/10
