Not bad at all, especially for that price, though I'm not that far in yet. And even on my not-top-end hardware (Athlon 5600x2 2.9 ghz, GeForce 7900, 2 Gb RAM, XP Home SP3, Viewsonic 1680x1050 monitor) it's *gorgeous.* Not hard to pick up, either - yeah, the "modes" thing sounds like it might be a bit much, but once you get into it... not an issue.
I have to admit, it's fun pickpocketing, climbing up buildings, diving into haystacks to get lost, and the "Eagle vision" they give is rather interesting. Gameplay's fun, it's not combo-crazy or anything, it's pretty straightforward.
There are exactly two things that bug me, though, both having to do with this being from a console.
One - *save points.* There's no "Save" or "Quicksave" that I've seen... no, once certain points are reached, you save. I hate that. If I want to leave now, I dont' want to lose my progress.
The other... exiting the game. It's a good five step process... exit memory, exit animus, exit, then for some reason it asks for a profile again - so select and exit AGAIN. I know for a console you just exit and yank the disk - why does this have to be sucha process on a PC?
Guys...
"Exit"
"To menu" or "To desktop," with a "cancel" option. That's all it takes. Not five minutes of screwing through menus to find every exit option.
Other than those two... tis fun.
