What do these ratings mean?

Assassin's Creed is what I call a beautiful letdown. I bought this game at $59.99 and was anticipating it so heavily. At the start I was confused as I am guessing most people were which I liked because it meant I had no idea what was going on as of yet. The start of the game was amazing and I loved it and the tools you have are just awesome! Stright out of the 3rd Crusade. As I got engrossed in this game honestly...I got bored. They storyline outside of Altair's Crusade reality is decent at best. The whole thing is this wrap around conspiracy that by the end of the game I looked at my gamerscore points i got off of it and decided 720 points made up for my time away from Mass Effect. The game is fun and enjoyable but it becomes overly repetitive when it comes to the assassinations. You pickpocket info, beat someone for info, listen in on a conversation for info, save citizens then take out your target which normally requires no stealth tactics at all. In fact it is more fun to run n' gun...or in this case stab. Overall it is good but it has no replay value at all unless you seriously want to attempt to find 100 flags in Jerusalem. No Thanks. I sold it the day i finished it and don't regret it at all. It is fun but like I said no replay or online capabilities. The Assassinations are all the same anyway and it just becomes entirely to easy. Take out the archers. take out the guards, take our your target. Bada bing bada boom. Get it kapich?
