One of the best video games of the seventh generation. In terms of story, it has one of the most mature and well developed main characters in any video game. The ship combat at first seems gimmicky but is quickly fleshed out into one of the most interesting and fun mechanics in any video game I've seen. Coupled with great supporting characters, aside from the villains since they pretty much suck, you have what's probably the best AC game of all time. The tailing missions do suck, the combat can be simplistic compared to what came before and after and in a lot of ways, it can be considered an asset flip of AC3, but unlike that game, this one does it way better.
