I mean, it <em>was<\/em> a good game. That part is true. All kinds of new toys to play with, the same climbing and running and jumping and assassinating fun from the previous two games, plus a satisfactory ending to Ezio&#8217;s story and both a nod to how terrible <a title=\"My review of Assassin's Creed\" href=\"http:\/\/www.delirium.org\/?p=2661\" target=\"_blank\">AC1<\/a> was plus a satisfactory ending to Alta\u00efr&#8217;s story to make up for it.

It was a huge out of nowhere plot twist for Desmond&#8217;s story (he&#8217;s the guy in modern times that is reliving the genetic memories of his ancestors) that was simultaneously a huge cliffhanger. And for that part of the story&#8230; I mean, just nothing. Everyone seemed to treat it as no big deal and not worth mentioning, and I&#8217;m left clawing for answers that I suppose will never be forthcoming.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s lame, and inevitably colors the whole experience.
