The parts when you get to jump around buildings and stab people are awesome.
The rest was… odd. The ending was… also odd.

Yes, Yahtzee's review is probably the most accurate.
Not surprisingly.

If your favorite game is from the Halo series, you'll love it. If you really liked Oblivion, you'll love it.

Don't get me wrong, Assassins Creed is a good game, but if you're thinking of getting something to play over the holiday break, get Mass Effect instead. Because Mass Effect is pretty much proof of the Second Coming (of good video games).

Also, I loved the storyline. Not the plot, they kind of screwed up that a little bit, but the actual events are pretty sweet.

If you played through Just Cause and loved it (ignoring any political ties), you'll love it. Except for the parts that are… odd.

For the 360, the game is broken.

After several hours of play, the game will glitch, you'll fall through the ground, or 2 of you will appear and the other does whatever you do. Like a doppleganger if you will.

It's happened to almsot every single copy so far, and their workign on a patch.

So buy something else until the patch is out.

Unless you arn't buying the 360 version though.

I think it may be a game you rent and try out but not necessarily buy and yes Mass Effect is the second coming.

Hell, if you even LIKED Just Cause, you'll love it. It's too bad really, both of these games had so much potential, but they squandered it in various ways and now are only games that are fun to play.

Also, I'd say that the jolt review is the best.

Well...no. I didn't click any of them. I just don't like reviewers.

Yahtzee's tend to be the accurate ones, which is funny considering that he's exaggerating for comedic effect.

Why don't you like reviewers anyway?

I should clarify, I don't like reviewers that work for reviewing-sites. If it's a guy giving his opinion, fine. If he's being paid to do so, he loses validity in my eyes.
