    Considering that they tell you basically everything you need to know in-game, I don't really care for the instruction booklet. They're supposed to be getting rid of them all together.

    yea i used to like the instuction book. jus like t/s said i liked reading about the story and the characters but nowadays that ? is going the way of the dodo. i was laughing when i bought the Assassians Creed:Brotherhood cuz the book is jus one piece of paper folded with trademark and legal info.
