The game in its self is good, but it should be played off-line. UBISOFTs servers are a disaster..
It's a bit monotone, but the series always has been.
It's good for those times when you want to take it easy, relax and play a game. For instance when your hung over.
That being said. I really don't like UBISOFT. They have come close to ruining this game in their anti-pirating crusade.
When you play on-line the game keeps all your saves synced. I first thought that was a good thing, but as you'll discover when their servers go down (and they do all the time), your saves aren't stored locally..
This results in your game being interrupted with the chance of lost game-play since your last save. You'll probably also discover that you can't play the game every time you want as the servers are down.
I recommend waiting to buy this game till UBISOFT fixes their servers or just go for another game.
