Pros: Fun Assassin's Creed experience on a handheld. World not as detailed as full blown console versions but comes surprisingly close. No Desmond AT ALL. The game has some length - not real long but not particularly short either. Lots of side missions and things to do. Gorgeous graphics (for a handheld)
Cons: Prior to current 1.02 patch there is a game killing SAVE GAME BUG that seemed to impact anyone who bothered to collect all of the items from any of the three collectible sets. Anyone who was impacted by this bug prior to saving their game at the 1.02 patch are basiclaly having to RESTART THEIR GAME from scratch. The game shipped this way or had the bug introduced in the 1.01 patch. Multiplayer is a joke and is more like a social or Facebook game. Not a difficult game at all and the "touch to kill" elements make an easy game even easier (recommended not to use the "touch to kill" optional controls at all). Various minor bugs that would crop up from time to time (but in all honesty not a big deal - with the exception of the ridiculous save game corruption bug).
Other Thoughts: I am perhaps not in the best mood as I write this but currently if I was not already past the 30 day return period after buying the game as a pre-order from newegg then I would be returning it. I am so exasperated that a major game company like Ubisoft would release a game with such a significant and major game save corruption bug that would require a brand new game to be started after spending hours upon hours playing the game almost to the end. There is absolutely NO excuse for something this to have EVER happened and it should have 100% been caught in QA testing. Instead it is yet another case of a greedy game publisher trying to meet a release deadline and cut costs from quality assurance by releasing a buggy piece of software that they figured they could just patch later after all the suckers, I mean customers, purchased it.
Ubisoft is dead to me now and the only reason I am not rating this a 1 "egg" is because the game was actually pretty fun until I hit the save game bug. Without the save game bug I probably would have rated it four "eggs" (the fifth egg not being deserved due to the other cons I mention).

Rating: 4/5Very fun but full of bugs
Pros: Great, fun game that mimics the big console game's gameplay.
Cons: full of bugs that will make it harder to enjoy the game. Up to a point where it's possible to lose your progress (save and ships).

Rating: 2/5Glitchy
Pros: Fun, open world game
Cons: Glitchy, glitchy, glitchy. This game could be great, but there are so many issues for it now. Game corrupting glitches, game freezing glitches, not getting trophies, map icons never appearing, swimming in air, it's a mess. It's not enjoyable to play now, so I would wait to purchase until a patch is out.

Rating: 5/5Best handled game EVER!!!!
Pros: This game really shows what the PS Vita can do! It is an AC game in the whole sense of the word! This game has awesome graphics, the combat is a as good as AC3 on PS3, just buy the game you won't regret it
Cons: The game has some bugs! People talk without moving the mouth here and there, some sound effects happen even when you aren't doing anything and people disappear sometimes!
Other Thoughts: With the few bugs I have encounter I have not been upset enough to put it down, the game is awesome and if you also have AC3 for PS3 you can connect to the game on your vita and if you have a save file you can play the game as Connor Kenway!!! I haven't tried it yet but I know it's gonna be awesome!!!!!!
