"This article is wrong. Believe it or not, though the actual existnace of such events are fictitious, the people who were killed in the game, like Talal, were actual people who disappeared around the same time. So, they are not just some random 9 people. This makes sense if one has a good sense of history with in their background.
"Using a very unique, and at times frustrating, control scheme"
That hardly sounds objective and very biased, at the least.
"The real masterpiece comes in the city itself because every wall can be climbed and every roof able to be crossed."
This another mistake by the author. Every wall cannot be climbed and every roof cannot be crossed. The designers specifically made it harder to climb some Minarets as the game progresses into the new areas of Damascus and Jerusalem.
"This means at any point in the game turning towards a random wall and scaling up thousands of feet is a real possibility. "
Again, the author reveals his own knowledge of the game play of the game which reflects upon his average of the game. Historically, though I may be incorrect, minarets did not extend "thousands" of feet. Thousands of feet is the equivalent to 2000 miles taking the semantic approach. Therefore the author is implying that Minarets extended for at most a mile or less. Historically, this is IMPOSSIBLE.
"Almost all of this running and climbing is done automatically and the only thing the player needs to do is hold down a specific button."
Yet if it were as you suggest, you would have wished for another method. Possibly the one that is present now.
"It is obvious the developers are more fans of the old-school style fighting than the new-school Jet Li way."
I fail to see the reasoning which would persuade you to conclude such a pointless and worthless remark. Such statements add nothing to the review and only bring down your credibility. However, if you have spent time with the designers of the game and had them spill out their thoughts about the "new school" gaming, then you may have something. Since I know that you have not, your statement is nothing more than an ad hominem.
"Towards the end of the game I found myself running away from fights just to skip the process"
This just demonstrates that you did not want to fight out of frustration. This hardly concludes that the system is flawed. In short, it sounds like a personal problem. |

There's a mistake in the second sentence, the word should be piqued not peaked. How am I supposed to trust a reviewer who makes a mistake in the second sentence? |

After playing this game for around 5 hours I can say this review is absolute crap. |

i 100% disagree with this review. i got the game and i love it. the story is awesome and the gameplay is really fun too. i'd give it a 9 or 9.5. i think you should look to other reviews of this game to get the real picture |

So every console game made before 2002 had no replay value? MP is not necessary for every game. I'd rather they not fool with some half-assed Live support where its not warranted. All it would do is taint this game. |

I pretty much agree with the review. This game has NO replayability. When are game makers going to realize that online Multiplayer is the future of gaming. Not including some type of multiplayer in a game, especially for the Xbox 360, is a surefire way of making a game fail. I myself will not buy a game now unless it has multiplayer. Single player games are old and boring now and wear off quickly (see Bioshock). I rented this game and I am glad I didn't make the purchase. Hopefully the sequel will have some type of multiplayer features. |

this seems to be a game either hated or loved. most reviews rate the game at 9 or better. I wonder, could this game really be as bad as you say or were you just that disappointed that it wasn't what you wanted it to be? well i'll find out when it gets to me from gamefly but the 360 is sorely lacking in games that are not shooters or sports so i'm looking forward to it. |

Im not going to rely on this review at all since gamespot gives it a 9.0 and IGN about the same if not better. You give CoD4 a 9.9 (better than halo 3 if I am correct) and this long anticipated game a 6.7? |

Seems like an overly harsh review since most others are giving it 9's. |
