Reviewers do stupid things on occasion, and overrating Sands of Time was one of them. I really can't fathom how people liked it so much. If it was the light bloom and the fairy tale atmosphere (that was completely shattered by the abysmal characters and story), why didn't Fable get eleventy billion out of ten? If it was the platforming, why does clunky controls and extremely linear level design = awesome, but fantastic controls with freedom = no game?
76.

Sands of Time is widely loved, but it's ok if you don't like it. Assassin's Creed is generally regarded as a really nice engine but a repetitive game with problems - I'm hoping the sequel sorts all that out and Ubisoft loves their sequels.
