Rented this today. I'm big fan of the series. My favourites were the first game and Double Agent. This one is vastly different from the rest of the series. IGN does a good job of reviewing some of the differences.
The main thing I've noticed is how much faster everything this. There also seems to be less of an emphasis on stealth and more on the 3rd person shooter aspect of the game. It's almost like a cross between Splinter Cell and COD.
The graphics and animations are top-notch, but they've taken a lot of the mini-games out, such as the hacking, cracking safes, picking locks, etc. It's a lot less of a puzzle and more of a shooter. Pretty cool, but I think DA was a better game.
