I totally agree. There is far too little stealth in this game. Despite everything you learn about blending and staying hidden, they are rarely useful (except on those annoying follow-the-leader quests). Targets are so heavily defended that getting to them undetected is usually impossible (or, if it is possible, you'll be detected during a cutscene instead).

I loved Tenchu: Stealth Assassins for the way it let you actually act like an assassin and stay hidden while you killed stuff, and I wish it was that way in AC.


Oh, and I played Bloodlines. Gameplay is nearly identical to AC1, but the fact you only get one Analog stick hampers it somewhat. Not sure how well the game plays on it's own though, since I got it after ACII, and if you do the transfer data to Bloodlines, the game is so pathetically easy you don't have to try. The pistol transfers as an instant-cast, 1 hit ranged kill with your Hidden Blade. Sure, it uses a throwing knife, but you can just pick one up from the guy you just shot. Other transfer bonuses let you counter kill and block with the Hidden Blade (and any non-boss enemy will die from a Hidden Blade Counter kill, even if it would take 4 or 5 Counters with the sword). So the game is ridiculously easy.
