Ambitious and fun with some big problems.:
The good parts of assassins creed are good enough to cover up the fact that it's extremely repetitive.
It's beautiful and really fun to navigate, especially when you get a good hop scotch game going with posts and flagpoles and beams.

The movement in general is really fluid maybe with the exception of jumping into a wall,pausing slo-mo dropping and recovering.
