So I finally got around to playing this the past month and you were definitely right on with your review. I quite enjoyed the game, although it did get a little repetitive… but I guess what game doesn't?

There is one thing that absolutely drove me fucking nuts though… my game would sporadically give me the "Cannot read disc" error. This was a minor problem at first, as I usually was collecting flags so there wasn't much back tracking… until one day…

I was on my 5th or 6th assassination, which required me to return to Acre… well I repeatedly got the "Cannot read disc" error when entering Acre… didn't matter if I walked through, rode a horse through, used the "jump to from Masayaf, etc.

I can't tell you how annoyed I was… but a quick swap of discs (thanks Blockbuster) and I was good to go. 1000/1000 FTW!

Hey, no spoilers for the ending please. I haven't finished the game yet.

Great review. I just beat it tonight, and I must say that although it was a great, engrossing game the ending left me a little bummed out. I was expecting a little more, especially since every target killed was such an epic experience that seemed to be leading towards a big ending (which I thought would have me controlling Desmond fighting his way out). Besides that it is a completely addicting game, and I'm now going back to find all those damn flags.

@Retodon8: Yikes, I hope that doesn't end up being true. I really enjoyed Jeff's reviews as he seemed to be the most brutally honest on GameSpot's staff. A trait which may have actually cost him his job.

Sorry for the double post, but I felt the following needed linking, considering the first paragraph of Matt's article:

Ubisoft have done their bed with this game.

My only concern is with the below average resolution used in this game added with the post blurry effect (Prince of Persia was using this method). The AI in this game must have been a truck load of codes to accomplish.

It's more a great evolution than a new revolution…

Since the MGS's games… it's the first game to really grab my attention.
