 Cool and disappointing at the same time December 12, 2007
Was really anticipating this game like everyone else. It was good, but kind of disappointing as well. I really like the climbing and scope of the game. It really is fun to free roam the large cities and climb the tall buildings. It is the best part of the game. I know some people aren't too fond of the sword fighting, but I thought it was cool. It's all about counter attacking. Assassinations are also fun, but wish players had more control in assassinating them wherever instead of places that are assigned after you complete the investigations.
The stuff that really bothers me, however, is the long loading and the inability to skip the story modes. You literally have to sit through all the talking if you want to play again. Watching it once was good enough. The loading takes too long and makes me nervous. I worry if it will freeze and it sucks every time it does. The new patch is supposed to fix it, but it still makes me nervous. Also the game can only save in one slot meaning if a friend wanted to play, he can't start a whole new game. If he does, it will erase your game. Don't know if people care about this, but my friend wasn't so happy about that. Some people say its repetetive, but it doesn't bother me. It's just those issues mentioned earlier that get me frustrated. If you're like those people, the game could become boring.
A great game that needs some improvments. Story was okay, but think it could have been done better. Some parts in the game really seem unneccessary. The LE is whatever. The toy figure is cool, but everthing else didn't really give me that wow factor. I was hoping there would be some cool featurettes on the bonus disk, but its videos I've already seen before. The quality also stinks. I thought they would have a lot of features like the God of War series. The short films also aren't all that great either except for a few. Nothing personal too them. I just think I could have done better.
Sadly the game is not polished... December 2, 2007

Well i like the game, i love the graphics and the gameplay style, but that is when the game is not freezing...and yes it have a lot of framerate issues and bugs. Sorry i was exited for this game and it let me down...
Beautiful graphics November 27, 2007
wow! this game is beautiful! the graphics are so great! and the story i hope gets as good as prince of persia.
now the fighting.....doesn't really get any more fun.....or the missions.....but the game itself it so awesome!
controls are a lil weird but i got used to them fast and really like them! i beat it really fast.
i'm more than positive with the other two to the series they will only get better! i'm sure the graphics might be dumbed down a bit (spiderman series) but i think the fighting and the story will get super intense! if you loved prince of persia, get this! and if you like splinter cell....rent this? i really like it! it's just too easy and ubisoft doesn't seem like a company that doesn't care (*cough cough* sega, activion *cough*)
Not Quite What I Expected November 23, 2007
9 out of 12 found this review helpful
I'm sure some will decry my statement about this game, but I was disappointed with this game as a whole. Yes, the visuals are stunning and intricately detailed. Yes, it does have some innovative control schemes. It is also very fun to be able to climb any building around. So what do I NOT like about this game???? Well...first of all, after completing 3 assassinations, I found myself doing the same things over and over and over: Come into new town and find several high spots to scout out the surroundings, rescue citizens from harassing soldiers, pickpocket things from certain people in town, eavesdrop on conversations to get information. Everything about this game looks great when you first get into it, but after you get a good ways into the game, it seems you are living in "Groundhog Day". I was really looking forward to the release of this game, so I really don't like giving it a 3. However, after playing through a few levels, I have lost interest in even completing the game. I hate to say it, but this game was a HUGE letdown for me. I would suggest renting it and playing through a couple of towns before buying.
Assissins Creed delivers solidly November 22, 2007
Assassins Creed is the latest ingenius development to be released by Ubisoft who has delivered us already with several solid hit games & I truly feel that Assassins Creed can only be added along to that list as it puts forth every aspect of the next gen technology.
This game offers up many unique & memorable elements that are spread out over the storyline, graphics, schematics, gameplay & controls.
First off the storyline , Assassins Creed 1191AD takes place at the time of the Third Crusade. You take on the role of Altair, a member of the Hashshashin / Assassins Order. Your goal is to journey thru the lands of Damascus , Acre & Jerusalem ; assassinating nine men who are exploiting the hostilities of the crusade & to bring back peace & stability to the lands.
Secondly we have the gameplay which at times can seem to be repeatitive with some not so smart ai & batles, but for the most part it is intense & fast paced . The chase scenes being one of my favorite features as you run along the rooftops trying to shake the guards off of your tail.
Next the controls of which allow the gamer to be like a puppeteer with altair on the end of the strings & they are control each of his moves & actions. The controls are simple to follow & very well laid out for the gameplay.
Lastly we have the graphics, these are some of the most amazing enviroments that i have scene in a game in quite a long time, I almost feel as tho I am journeying right there with Altair thru each of these cities. These scenes from the rooftops as you look out onto the city are breathtakingly beautiful. The visuals are quite very impressive.
I am leaving out the plot twist of the storyline as not to ruin or spoil the game for those that have yet to play.
For those that were prince of persia fans then this game will definitely fill that void of the craving for a new pop game & those looking for a solid action adventure game then i highly suggest that you rent or pick up a copy of Assassins Creed & let your inner assassin be released. In a year that has been filled with FPS after FPS , I feel Assassins Creed stands out strong.
