pros:
good replay value
good gameplay, the parkour is nice, the combat is miles better than ac2 (for me at least) and killstreaks are fun
good story, nice continuation to ezio's story after ac2
good visuals especially for its time

cons:
uplay
ubisoft

Very solid entry to the series. Good story, great character in Ezio, not much else to say, if you like the Assassin Creed games, the chances you will like this are high. The combat has improved since AC2 at least which makes it more streamlined, but it still isn't perfect yet at this point in the franchise. Just get it, it's probably cheap as hell here on Steam with a sale so stop crying and put it in your cart. Like right now it's on sale for $5 US, so if you can't afford that or that is too much money for you then maybe you shouldn't be playing video games.
