I've heard bad things. I'll wait until my AC obsessed friend loans it too me.

Shit year for games on the X-Box.

Does it still have a piss-easy and boring as shite fighting system?

It looks like blatant American propaganda.. going from the TV commercials.

"George Washington rallies the colonists so that this country might finally be free!" - quote from game footage.. first off there was no 'country' and second they weren't fighting for 'freedom', they were fighting for self-determination faced with unreasonable taxation, conscription, and no representation in parliament.

There are other things that pissed me off. Also

the assassin is a woman. With a fucking tomahawk. :nono:

Assassin's Steed, those wags at Penny Arcade are calling it, due your horse's swiftness and stealth options being better than your characters.

I've had a few goes at this game and thought it was very good - if a little glitchy.
The bit I played just a few hours ago was an epic naval battle. It looked fucking awesome on my mate's 47" HD tv. Very exciting and fun, I think.
Here's some gameplay, but not the same battle I played:-
