 Great Game but, lack a few things. March 15, 2008

The graphics were great very realistic, not to mention the whole medieval thing going. Very fun game to play the assasins are pretty cool and killing the guards are fun as well. Walking through the crowds and just the interacting between the people is amazing.
But here is what it lacking:
The game can be very repetitive though because you do the same thing every mission and after hours of play you dont want to play any more.
Changing the missions objectives up would be great becasue than it would be a challenge and keep you interested. They also should have added weather changes to the game. Assassinated targets in rain would have been great. There also wasnt many hiding places which is weird for a big city you would think that maybe you could hide in a tree or barrel or something or inside a building.
There also were a few glitches in the game. At times he would just freeze in the middle of the air and you would had to restart the system.
Overall the game was good but could of been much better. Hopefully the sequel will be better.
 Great story, good single player game, great graphics! March 14, 2008
I just have this game for 1 month and it's very complete rpg and good for me, it has so many challeges, it's dificult, but that's makes it more interasting, so many quests, things to find, things to do, and the graphis for me, playing it on a HDTV and in 1080i, it really looks amazing!
I love it. Have a great time and good luck.
It's a great buy March 14, 2008

Listen, If your looking for a good game that's worth playing, well you've found one. Assassin's Creed is awesome. The training tutorial it pretty straight foward. And trust me it's going to be hard to put down. This assassin is like on another level. He is soo agile, climbing building is a walk in the park. His sword technics are swift and deadly. The game has quite a bit of freedom too, the graphics are great, He rides horses, swings or beams or yeah and the leap of faith.. that part freaked me out the first time i saw it.. Its like what man in his right mind is going to climb up a giant tower and jump off into a small pile of hay then get up like nothing happen. Incredible. I just love the game. Trust you'll enjoy it too.
This game will be awesome!!! March 6, 2007

The first time I saw the trailer to this game, I was like HOLY CRAP, this game was gonna be awesome. Now I've watched every trailer, every dev. diary, everything to possibly read or watch over this game becuz I'm hooked. I cannot wait till it comes out, which is in August, I think. The next-gen graohics are freakin' unbelievable. The website is amazing. Everybody is crazy for this game. When they showed the actual gameplay for the first time running on the Xbox 360, and they showed her riding towards the city (you play as a man named Altair, who has been inducted into the Assassin's League, and get your finger cut off, to have a hidden knife placed there) on a horse, and climbed up a building, showing different ways to get to your target (everything that sticks out 2 inches or more is interactice) and scouts out the man she has to kill. She then climbs down the building and hides in with a group of monks waling by to get close to his target, then she kills him. She then does like a wallflip type dill, and runs like mad, pushing, yes I said pushing (when you walk by people you just push them aside, but if your running by them you throw them down, and they might run after you, and try to run you down too. That's what they've been working so hard on this game, the A.I. It's so impressive. Like if you kill a man's wife, when she's sleeping, and the man finds out that it was you, he will hunt you down till your dead, or until he's dead, also. Stopping at nothing. She then cuts down a wodden platform which blocks the way of the gards, then starts running off towards the entrance, where a gate comes down anad blocks his way, then he dies. In the game, there is no health bar, every amount of damage that you take is real, so if you get stabbed with a sword even once, you're pretty much dead!!! The game is so detailed, and is historically acurate. It has the cities Jeruselum, Acre, and like one or 2 more. So if you see a building in the game, it was actually there in real life, during the Third Crusade, which is when the game takes place. They worked with a historian to get everything historically acurate. Everything's cool, and I can't wait till' it comes out!!! I will write more reviews later on!!!
