User blog comment:D. Cello/Assassinews 01/17 -- ACW New Admin, key Ubisoft figure leaves AC/@comment-122.106.99.173-20120125000611

I read the book Secret Crusade way before playing the game, so my expectations for the Altaïr memories were high... I think the game would have been a lot better if they had put more focus on them, the felt half assed, if you would pardon the language. I didn't really mind the Ezio parts that much. The story did play out rather well there just should have been a bit more to it instead of all those time wasters, like the tower defence, which I got rid of rather quickly by focusing on levelling up my Apprentices. But all in all it wasn't a bad game but it really can't stand up to the other AC games.
