This game really spun me out. On one hand, the story and missions (apart from the lack of direction early game), graphics and dialogue were amazing. The control scheme and climbing mechanics were just awful. With Unity and then this release, I was really afraid the AC games would slide into the pitfall so many big title games have fallen into. They had been churning these AC games out on a time table rather than take time to polish them and fix issues. Hell, there a graphics glitch that many had that caused a strobing effect in menus and in-game. My copy did, but thankfully a game reset fixed the error. Some systems never adapted to the graphics error and it was never patched. I absolutely love and despise this title. So happy that they revamped the game mechanics after this title and it has since been 100% better in the titles after Syndicate. This is only my opinion. Judge for yourself.

Horrendous controls ruined an otherwise enjoyable chapter of AC.
