Fair point, it really comes down to individual preferences on who anyone feels gives a more accurate consensus. Anyways, I enjoyed Rome, and the openness but it did stifle the free running element when there were no structures to climb and this is something Ubi will have to handle carefully if it is to work out effectively in AC3.
