Assassin's Creed is the next-gen game developed by Ubisoft Montreal that will redefine the action genre. While other games claim to be next-gen with impressive graphics and physics, Assassin's Creed merges technology, game design, theme, and emotions into a world where you instigate chaos and become a vulnerable, yet powerful, agent of change. The setting is 1191 AD. The Third Crusade is tearing the Holy Land apart. You, Altair, intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. You are an Assassin, a warrior shrouded in secrecy and feared for your ruthlessness. Your actions can throw your immediate environment into chaos, and your existence will shape events during this pivotal moment in history. Key Features - Be an Assassin: Master the skills, tactics, and weapons of history's deadliest and most secretive clan of warriors. Plan your attacks, strike without mercy, and fight your way to escape.
- Realistic and responsive environments: Crowds react to your moves and will either help or hinder you on your quests.
- Action with a new dimension - total freedom: Eliminate your targets wherever, whenever, and however. Stalk your prey through richly detailed, historically accurate, open-ended environments. Scale buildings, mount horses, blend in with crowds. Do whatever it takes to achieve your objectives.
- Relive the epic times of the Crusades: Assassin's Creed immerses you in the realistic and historical Holy Land of the 12th century, featuring life-like graphics, ambience, and the subtle, yet detailed nuances of a living world.
- Intense action rooted in reality: Experience heavy action blended with fluid and precise animations. Use a wide range of medieval weapons, and face your enemies in realistic swordfight duels.
- Next-gen gameplay: The proprietary engine developed from the ground up for the next-gen console allows organic game design featuring open gameplay, intuitive control scheme, realistic interaction with environment, and a fluid, yet sharp, combat mechanic.

 i agreed with everyone else July 20, 2008
Everyone is right about this game. It does get boring quick. The graphics are ouystanding, but thats about it.
 Gets old quick. July 15, 2008
I play a lot of games so I will be honest here: the game is pretty fun at first. You do a lot of sneaking and "death from above" moves. However, the story itself is too confusing for its own good and the game gets pretty repetitive. If you own a PS3, please save your money for a game like Metal Gear Solid 4, which is totally worth it.
 Must play, gets old quick July 7, 2008
Im sure its been said a lot, but this game is boring. Its innovative though, the missions are really inventive, but the game in it self is a really good idea and fun for 5 hours. Its just that once you get used to the graphics and the cool gameplay, it becomes a chore to beat. Thats it, you do the same stuff over and over and over.I think everyone should give it a play, its really fun for a while and the whole idea behind the game is new and very beautiful to look at. But there it is, all this innovative gameplay is VERY repetitive. Also, there is no skill level to the game, anyone who has played this game for a year is just as good at it as someone that played it for a week.
gorgeous graphics, yet great game gets old for weekend warriors like me July 6, 2008
Stunning graphics. watching your player move around is the best - every detail was tended to; Ubisoft treated it like a tailor would treat a Dolce Gabanna suit - wrinkles, clothes flow in the wind... just a awesome to watch.
Gameplay starts out great, but if you're a weekend warrior like me (play a few hours every weekend) it will get old after a while; mind you, it's a 4 star game: quality, and a great idea. But I'm halfway through and it seems a bit repetitive. Maybe it will change when I complete my mission.
I think it's a great game overall. I'd just like to try different strategies when it comes to an assassination, not the same repetitive steps like the last mission...
rent before buying July 4, 2008
Okay, so some people really seem to love this game, I am not one of those people. I though just based on looks the scenery was amazing but the gameplay was repetitive and rather boring. Anybody thinking about buying this one should play it first before plopping down any cash.
