Well, Ubisoft uses their own definition of 'assassin' for the games. That doesn't necessarily have to be bad, though. Besides, the amount of stealth in AC3 is pretty much as in AC2, and we can all agree AC2 was great. Just because he is tomahawking someone in the face on the box art doesn't mean the whole game is about that. Infact, if you complete all constraints, there is quite enough missions in which you have to be stealthy.
