After playing a bit, I feel the game is somewhat simplistic, but not very fluid, at least as far as the controls go. Maybe it's better on a controller.

Also, as is the usual standard in Ubi games lately, credits tell fuck-all about who voices who. It's just a not-too-long list of names. Fuck you ACWiki, figure this shit out on your own, they say.

Also, is it gonna be customary now for every AC game to have a variation of Ezio's Family somewhere on the soundtrack? This is the third one to use an arrangement of it.

Also not exactly sure why the game itself is running on Unreal Engine 3, yet looks so poor. Really doesn't give off this "chinese painting" schtick they advertised, just looks like an early PS2 game. Probably something to do with not being developed in-house, but by Climax Studios.

Shao sounds decent enough, even though it's a different actress. But from the way Ezio's replacement sounds, the mystery is solved, and he died in Embers from the same type of throat cancer Bale's Batman had. Which begs to question, if they brought Roger Craig Smith to do misc voices for Black Flag, including an Italian that instantly reminded me of Ezio through his voice, why wasn't he brought along here to play the actual character. Another insight to Ubi's mentality of "We have no fucking idea what we're doing, or how to do it coherently."
