    More memories lie with this game than any other MMO I've played, but if you missed AC back in its golden age you're too late now. So I suppose this review doesn't help much. I just want to make sure that Metacritic is aware that AC was once an incredible, incredible game.

    One of the best MMOs I ever played. The world is immense. The lore amazing. People have to actually think about their stats. There is no "level range" on most items or spells. You are not corralled through quests and levels. It is very sandbox. Basically you log in, and you can go anywhere and do anything, and you are limited only by your skill as a player. The level cap is crazy high, so you don't hit that ceiling and then quit very easily. PvP was twitchy and fun whence last I played. This game should be the basis for future MMOs.… Expand

    Nearly everything that's good about this game is colored by some sort of flaw. In some cases it's a minor thing, in others it's a little more serious.
  2. A solid, well-rounded online role-playing experience that's at least as good as any other out there.
  3. People have different styles of play to go along with different tastes and preferences. You now have some choice as to which RPG is for you. I could never really say which is better than the others are since they are so unique, yet so common.
