After such a disappointment with AC 3 I was amazed at how good this game was compared to the others. there are some interesting mechanics and the whole changing cloths is a interesting way to gain different abilities. It's a lot of fun for any fan of Assassin's creed.

The characters are very interesting and i love Aveline, but there was no roundup of what happened at the end if she got married, if they both continued to fight the prejudice together and what finally became of her and her mother.

Edit: I did love the costume changing ideas and using the eagle vision to look up all kinds of clues to track people down. The clothing changes makes sense in that the assassination outfit is infamous so you can never lower your notoriety as it's a very clearly dangerous outfit. Especially as a woman in this time period.

Then you have other outfits that have positives and negatives. The Lady outfit you can't parkour in, due to the corset and dress being fairly restrictive, but notoriety goes up slowly and the slave outfit allows all the parkour, however, with less clothing there's less armour to protect yourself so you can get killed much more easily.

My first initial thought when I saw it was an option to change cloths was an eye-rolling thought of "oh yes, of course. First female character as the protagonist and her special ability is dressing up!" but in game, it works really well and a fun thing to do which makes sense in the context of the world and also as, like real assassins, disguising yourself.
