Just read the OPM UK review, its a well written piece, got me really excited. Some info of the SPOILER variety below:

I warned you!

+ Positive

Huge variety of assassination missions: One target locks himself in the highest tower in San Gimignano, and you have to scale the outside while under fire from archers, or how about entering a carnival contest in order to get earn an invitation to a masked ball. Awesome

Intriguing side missions: One mentioned involved hunting down a serial killer who is taking and killing prostitutes.

- negative

One of the later missions involves finding 20 items that are hidden in previously hidden locations, each is in a building with the door guarded by 4 brutes. Lots of repetitive fighting (note: I reckon you could probably get creative though...)

Thats it folks

Thanks Amolang and Gazman! I'll update the topic immediately

Just do the mission in the rain. with a flat cap. Guv'nor.

What do they mean with "Technical flaws mar the experience"... Can't find out what they mean with the word "mar"...

it's basically a way of saying technical problems screw up the game.

Hmm... Can't be that worse because they give it 92/100 ???

they are talking about some pop-up when horse riding, and some slow loading textures, nothing you will care about unless you are a tiresome tech head!

These flaws are only in the PS3 version, and not in the 360 version...

If it wouldn't be on both consoles, they wouldn't have mentioned it as a negative point...

actually they could. as the game review is in the PS3 magazine, not the xbox one, so they review games separately. in the xbox magazine the reviews will be slightly different, even though its the same game. sadly the xbox version of the review isn't up yet...

Well I have read both and the PS3 magazine mentions technical flaws while the 360 doesn't, make of that what you will...

Well it can't be as bad like the first one I hope... And it didn't disturb me in the first one...
