I played this game until its completion and was extremely satisfied with the entire experience. The cities and entire world created was totally solid and the animation was just incredible. I still loved just running around cities climbing buildings, going on the horses, fighting enemies.. just everything. It's unfortunate that Ubisoft couldn't take the fantastic fundamentals of the game and turn them onto rote repetitive tasks that get boring after the 4th "steal a package" mission.

If they just took their freeform gameplay and made an actual free form GAME around it, then it'd be one of the greatest games of all time. As it is, it's a fantastically playing game that becomes a love it or hate it kind of thing depending on how annoyed you are with the missions.
