Ok, this game is trying to be new, which is good. It will take some getting used to, but could well wind up better.

A lot if the redundancies have been cut out. You no longer have to hold the R1 Button when in combat because fighting in Low Profile mode was entirely pointless. It has shifted combat quite a bit, and I'll have to see how it works out.

Two issues with it so far.

First, Viewpoints. If you plan to go Viewpoint hunting, kill your sound. Some complete IDIOT at Ubisoft decided to make an annoying tonal ring both as you climb close to one, and as you synchronize with it. And then decided to make it play every time, at twice the volume of every other sound in the game. I had the volume turned so low I couldn't hear gunfire and I could hear this sound clearly. The person in charge of that sound direction needs to be shot.

My second problem is semi-spoilery. Although I'm sure everyone will realize it pretty fast once they start playing. (SPOILER)You know that Conner guy they showed in the trailers and previews? The one who's supposed to be the main character? Yeah, is he actually IN this game? Kingdom Hearts 2 didn't take this long to give us control of the main character.
