Hey guys, Phoenix here.
Let me just say that it double convinces me of the capabilities of the PS2 to deliver such photo-realistic graphics using a non high-end graphic processor(aka Xbox).
AC5 makes us players feel like we're part of an epic rather than a hero-takes-all-wins-all type. The characters, for once, feels human and that we could empathize with them as more and more incidents are thrown against them. Goofy dialogue from AFDS anyone?
I, for one, am impressed with the soundtrack. It sounds more like a Hollywood grade score rather than a gmae score. Maybe it's just me but I think we have the makings of an instant classic here.
With such an engaging storyline, perhaps Namco should expand on the current universe and make sequels based on that. But that's just my opinion.
