I got my pre-order in today. Looking forward to getting hold of it 2morrow.

Did you see the launch trailer, awesome stuff but I'm getting NFS though.

I hope the online is pretty good and doesn't ruin the game.

I'll probably play the online first before the community dries up. I hope the achievements for the online aren't in the insanely long and difficult category.

Im really looking forward to it, but might hold off and get it on Black Friday

I loved AC2 and I'm really looking forward to playing the SP campaign of this one. The MP looks interesting, but I'm not sure if I'm going to try it out before I send it back to Gamefly.

I got this coming from Gamefly, love AC2... get hype

Oh, don't worry, they made sure one of them is.

Download Complete - Reach Level 50.

Also not a fan of Strong Closer... I don't really like gimmicky achievements like that.

Hopefully online is unique enough to last a long time.

Ugh, I know I might not get most of these multiplayer achievements but I think the game overall will be fun. Haven't gotten my shipped email from Amazon yet though. That sucks.

I really want the EU version of the collectors edition. The Codex Edition is so much better than what Ubisoft is releasing in America.

I looked over the level progression since I couldn't get through to the servers tonight. There is an absolute ton of stuff to unlock, so as long as no handful of things seem overpowered (perk + ability set), there should be plenty of reasons to play this online for a while.

Still no reviews up. If I remember right, Ubisoft did this last year with ACII. The reviews didn't come out until around noon EST on release day.

Mine's out for delivery right now. I can't wait to play it.

Just got my copy. Now at work until 6:30EST.....blah

Kotaku's review is up (no score, cause that's how they roll): http://kotaku.com/5690186/review-ass...ssassins-creed

They loved it.

Eurogamer gave it an incredibly rare 10/10: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...-review?page=1

Yeah, I saw that one. Question is, how long will it take to reach that level?

Cancelled my pre-order on amazon, in hopes of it being 29.99 or somewhere around there on Black Friday.

And I'm only on DNA sequence 4 in Assassins Creed 2, should get that finished soon though!

Gamespot gave it an 8.5.

The Good:

• Huge, beautiful city stuffed with amazing details
• Lairs and other platforming sequences are fantastic
• Long, with lots of fun and varied activities
• Economy is more meaningful than before
• All sorts of improvements, big and small.

The Bad:

• Main story is disappointing
• Assassin recruitment is contrived and ultimately meaningless
• Glitches.

EDIT:
And an A- from 1UP
