I know I'm gonna take some heat for this, but; I REALLY think That once Again, Ubisoft Dropped the ball here. This game could of been PEREFECT with one or two Minor tweaks. Granted, It is a great game, and easily one of the best releases of Q4, and I do like it, but It could of been MUCH better. Things i would of changed
1) Make buildings more than just static obsticles. it would of been nice to bee able to go inside EVERY one of them. i know that sounds like alot of work, but from a design standpoint, cgrating an interior for the buildings is not that complicated, especialy considering the buildings are somewhat repetitive and simple in design ( Note, i'm not bashing the designers here, rather I'm refering to the period archatecture of the game, houses in this period were very Basic) This could of provided some fascinating chase cequences even more impressive than those we were already given.
2) Give us a few more options for investigations. i would of liked to been able to interagate someone by knocking them out, dragging them to a rooftop, and then dangleing them over the edge. Just an example, but it gets VERY repetitive, just Beating someone, eavsesdropping, and pickpocketing them.
3) give the players less inforation when they arrive. Don't even tell us where to start looking for information, just check in with the bureo, and start the hunt. Let everyone there have more static dialoge, and let the player interact with more of the generic npc's. Make us think a bit more. This does two things for me. One, this makes the game a little harder, and two, this would, in my opinion take some of the repition out of it.
On the up sde, Ubisoft seems to generaly have tried to bring us a fantastic game, I'm certian they will listen to their customers as such, and make dramtic improvents for the next one.
