Product Description
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. 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. Limited Edition Contents - Collectible 3-inch Altair Figure Penny Arcade Comic Mini Strategy Guide Bonus Disc - Winner's of Assassin's Creed short film contest, behind-the-scenes videos, developer diaries, trailers, producer interviews, downloads and more

 Where do we go from here? March 12, 2008
In a nutshell, repititious. Once you complete a mission or two, you repeat the same actions over and over. Even the street characters in the various cities (and sections of the cities) are the same but dressed differently, ie, the street beggars, the local thugs, the soldiers, their little spiels. The beggars are especially annoying. Beautiful graphics, great story, love riding the horses and leaping off of tall buildings, but overall, a let down.
Great game January 8, 2008
this game is fun and cool.
advantages:
the graphics are really great.
cool way of fighting.
you can climb any building.
great story.
disadvantage:
short story.
too many replays.
It's tedious and short January 7, 2008
The game's ending is great, you will feel great when you see it, it's a huge plot twist.
The fighting in the game is boring, making the game real easy, if you have problems taking down enemies in this game then you problably aren't good for games at all.
The graphics are out of this world, they're just awesome. The addition of being able to climb anywhere is great, gives a great sense of freedom to the game.
The game is really short, you can end it in less than a day, that would be fine for a shooter, but this isn't a shooter.
It's an average game, not a lot of replay though.
A let down December 26, 2007
Other reviewers have noted that the game feels really repetitive and that they lost interest in completing the game. I agree (I have competed the game so that I could write this review), but want to emphasize that the negative "feel." I feel very disconnected from the character. This results from
(1) his movement ... sometimes he feels heavy and slow, it's frustrating to move him. The free run parts are exciting but they are not that interactive;
(2) the miniquests ... these are redundant, and resort to "timed challenges" to add difficulty which IMO is a bit of a cop-out. The deeper problem is that the mini-quests aren't longer run character choices they're just random events that don't really involve the mission you're doing except you for a few random lines of dialog.
(3) the action/stealth ratio ... I realize bought a game called "assassins creed" I thought the point of the game would be stealth kills and daring escapes. As it turns out, a lot of the kills are not stealth, but after big battles. There's no "economy of violence" principle forcing you to limit your killing (like thief and Splinter Cell had), there's no penalty to you at all for killing, in fact the game guides you to enter into big high-publicity fights. This part of the game just doesn't tick the way it should.
(4) no real risks ... my character has a lot of health. I can battle thirty people and be OK, or jump from a big ledge and lose most of my health only to recover it in a few seconds.
(5) Annoyances ... there is a lot of recurring sound bits. These take me out of the game.
The assassination missions are OK. They do get progressively harder, but more through battle elements than through stealth elements.
The game is a pretty decent fight and explore game, and the cities are pretty and the free-running is fun, but the game design has some major flaws.
I recommend you rent this before you buy it to see how you like it. If you're really interested, I think you'll see a lot of used copies available soon (not all of them played to completion).
