I've heard this game had medicore reviews and it only reinforced my decision to just trust my own judgement. The game is overall awesome.

Man for some reason leaving a massive mountain of corpses of brutally murdered Christians is strangely satisfying :D (literally, there was a part in the first mission where you get a stream of templar knights coming at you one at a time, so I was using it to get a bunch of the acheivements done and there was just a pile of 100 corpses all the way down this hill.)
