I thought the review was hilarious but don't quite agree. I loved the first AC game and found the second one lacking. Most people don't agree with me, and that's alright, but I don't like Future Desmond and I don't like Ezio. Neither of them are assassin-like. See, in my mind assassins are bad-ass killers, using stealth and special tactics to kill their targets. From his choice of wardrobe to choice of weapons, Ezio doesn't feel like an assassin. It's fun to parkour and kill people, but they could have easily renamed the game The Exploits of Dr. Renaissance Genocide and it would have resulted in exactly the same thing. Altair had control issues, but was quite and meditative, going about his business with an air of confidence that I didn't feel from the 17 year-old Ezio that could already free-run.

The worst part for me was when Ezio killed his first target and yelled "MY NAME IS EZIO AUDITORE!" to horrified onlookers. Real stealthy.

Feel free to tell me I'm wrong.
