Just Shy of Spectacular 3
Assassin's Creed is a bold adventure that spans back to the time of the Crusades. You'll play dual characters throughout the game, the first being Desmond who is kidnapped by a mysterious corporation and proceeds to subject him to a device called an Animus that is able to read his genetic memories. The second character is Altaïr -- the long-lost relative of present day Desmond and whose life is so interesting to this corporation. The plotline is serviceable if a little extraordinary.The graphics...

...a shanking bleh 0
Played Through in Fall 2009. So…there’s this guy who…likes to SHANK a fool or two...and when he’s not playing hopscotch across the rooftops of Old Jerusalem, he’s popping in and out of the memory of his latest descendent from the future who’s trying to shack up with Kristen Bell…. a weird rubbery looking Kristen Bell, but hey, who am I to playa hate... Assassin’s Creed impressed me. It even got under my skin a little bit…in a good way. I went into this game with a vague understand of its’ FAULTS...

Block, Parry, Rinse, Repeat. 0
I started Assassin's Creed with a pretty open mind. Move about a city, do some repetitive tasks (it had been that long and all the reviews said so) and eventually kill some bad guys. But I rode quite the unexpected wave. I had to really push myself to continue at the start. The environments the player is put in all seemed remedial for such a game and I really had no curiousity encountering a new city. The people living in these surroundings were much alike, characters existing purely of ...

Good for a couple hours... 0
Assassin's Creed starts out great and ends pretty great. However, the middle is really bland and repetitive. The controls are pretty good. Fluid movements allow for a greater experience. The storyline of the game has it's ups and downs. The last few hours of the game really ramp up the story and connect the dots. The ending obviously points towards a sequel and even though I didn't really enjoy playing Assassin's Creed as a whole, the ending really had me psyched to play the second one. I...

A good start 0
*As I'm writing this review I've played AC2, Brotherhood, Revelations*Loved this game, great premise and interesting gameplay. When I heard 'parkour in the 12th century' it seemed odd, surely there weren't that many big buildings? Is this just a developer capitalising on a current trend? Well yes a bit, but it works well and doesn't seem out of place. The castles and villages lend themselves well to this style of play and it feels natural. The fighting is enjoyable but get's plain and simple. It...

Good concept brought down by repetitive gameplay 0
Pros:-Nice graphics-Good atmosphere; the Holy Land is accurately depicted and detailed-Storyline is strong and engagingCons:-Combat is way too easy-Enemy AI is dumb-Game play is far too repetitive and offers little variety in it's objectivesAssassin's Creed is a game that has a lot of potential, but holds it's self back by poor design choices. The game has a lot of good ideas; an engaging storyline based around a conspiracy theory, exploring the Holy Land during the Crusades, promises of freedom...

An over-rated game with not enough depth. 0
Assassins Creed is an engaging game the first time you experience what it has to offer. Clearly the best part of the game is the movement of which Altaïr is able to complete, as he can leap and move in ways similar to the activity of 'Parkour'. The movement of Altair is fantastic, especially when watching him crookedly climb upwards to the top of a building or running across the roofs of houses to escape the guards of the city. This is undeniably the strongest part of Assassins Creed as it ...

Assassin's Creed is a stunning game but has some flaws. 0
Assassin's Creed offers a unique blend of stunning graphic design, excellent voice acting and a very different, but complex storyline. There is an endless amount to do in the game that will leave you satisfied and hungry for more. Assassin's Creed follows the tale of Altair, a highly skilled 12th Century assassin and his journey through the Holy Land, during the Crusades. You will encounter different environments in the cities you will visit: Acre, Damascus and Jerusalem. Each city is beautifu...

Sadly I cant assassinate the dissapointment 0
In Assassins Creed you play as Altair. You are part of a brotherhood of Assassins that are on a quest to protect the holy land from the invading crusaders. Assassins Creed is a game that will bring you along on a unique adventure unlike any other. At this point if you have heard of Assassins Creed you know about the "twist". In reality you play Desmond who is a test monkey for some kind of evil cooperation. Extremely early in the game you find out that these mysterious scientists are holding y...

Assassin's Creed (X360) - Review by Kim Fidler 1
When I was younger, I always wanted to be an assassin. For some reason, the thought of sneaking around in shadows and getting the drop on a drug lord always seemed to appeal to me. When I first heard about Assassin’s Creed, I immediately thought that my dreams were going to become a reality. With large sweeping cities to use as my playground, I imagined leaping from high buildings into a packed market while being chased by my pursuers. In a way, my dreams came true, but that doesn’t mean that ev...

It was fun at first 0
Assasins creed is a well polished and great looking game. But after a couple days of playing it, it got to the point of well i just keep doing the same stuff over and over again, and i didn't feel much need to go further. The gameplay is quite unique the first 4-6 hours and i was truly addicted but towards the end of the game, it doesn't freshen up. Jumping on buildings and saving citizens can only be fresh, so many times. After completing the main objectives you are then transported back to ...

Definately a Rental 0
When me and my dad sat down and played Assasins Creed for the first time we were in awe, [he still is]. And to cut it short the first half of the game is some of the best gameplay i have EVER layed my hands on. But then the second half sets in, the crappy AI bugs, the repetitiveness and the Boss kills SUCK, they say theres "freedom" but if theyre were anyother options to take out a target other than sneak halfway in and kill everything in sight with the overly powerful counter attacks PLZ TELL M...

If you have been following any of my other game reviews then you should already know that I haven't gave a game a 10 out of 10 before…..some were really close to it but now…..well….this game has a story….and it must be told to everyone…..Ill start off with which I want to say…..this game is just unique it dosent take anything from any other game and totally recreates the way games should be made. The free roam experience and the ability to actually KILL anyone you want is just unbelievable I lov...

Death from Above 0
The rumors are true. Assassins Creed does indeed get a bit repetitive in its core gameplay mechanics. Before each of the nine major assassinations that Altair is required to perform you must:1) Climb to several high points in the city, and hit a button that forces you to look around at the beautiful environment.2) Sneak about the alleyways, or climb to the rooftops and run with amazingly fluid animation.3) Eavesdrop on others who often give you helpful and important information about your cu...

Great start for a promising franchise 0
From the team that brought you Jade Raymond comes this epic third-person action/adventure game. Assassin’s Creed is a game with a lot of hype behind it, for a good reason. At first glance, it’s obviously a very visually impressive game that oozes of production value and artistic quality. It’s simply a delight to watch the main character, Altair, run around in the Middle-Eastern cities, cutting up templar knights. But visuals aside, there’s of course some gameplay involved. The acrobatic / sword-...

Could have been the best game of 2007.. Still great however. 0
I watched previews of this game amazed as to the stunning graphics and the super cool looking character. I bought the game the day it came out and I think this game might be a little better to watch then to play. I love the gameplay, it's without a doubt very inventive. But the story line is really quirky and the whole twist to the game is given out within 5 minutes of playing. Without a doubt this is an enjoyable game. The bad thing about it is the length at which you can enjoy it. The game has...

The best damn Assassin game ever 0
First off Assassin's Creed is one of the greatest games of all time. It is extremely fun and easily accessible for new players but is also fun for long time players and any fan of prince of persia or similar games can enjoy this game. This game raises the bar for for what the new consoles can do. The story is just as amazing as the gameplay because the story is well written and the voice actors except maybe the voice actor playing Altier because he does not sound like an arab voice or something ...

The biggest dissapointment of 2007 0
The title pretty much sums it up.This game was awesome at first and I was stoked.The graphics are great and I like sandbox feeling to it. Sadly, after 1 - 2 days of playing i realized..."hey! Didn't i just do clear this mission before?" This is game is so repetitive that I feel cheated.Further into the game the only thing that makes it more challenging is that whenever you are on a mission som retards without shirt come up to you and start pushing you around completely blowing ones cover.

Assassins creed really is all it's cracked up to be a great fun slash'em up set in the past with a deep story and controversial ending.However this really is all it is, however for the components it does have it does them really well, first of the combat is really basic, great fun and easy to get a hold of, the story is probably one of the best you'll ever come across in a game, and the ending(I won't spoil it for those who havn't got it yet but it is extremely controversial and VERY confusing, ...

Play in moderation 0
When I first brought Assassins Creed I was really put off the game for the same reason that most people have expressed their disappointment in this game. The prospect of planning out an assassination by collecting information through eaves dropping, intimidating and pick-pocketing sounded great and the first time you did these things was really awesome. But then repetition sunk in.The problem with this game is once you have played one level you have pretty much done everything this game has to o...

Repetition drains the fun out of any game. 0
Assassin's Creed is one of those games that makes a person gitty with anticipation before launch. Unfortunately this title takes a step back in innovation. Sure the player can fight multiple enemies using many different methods - hidden blade for silent kills, or throwing knives and swords while fighting multiple, over aggressive, guards - but it's been done before in other games like God of War. Even collecting information about the next target before assassinating them gets old as Altair eaves...

A deadly Assassin 0
Assassin's Creed is a well developed game that features awesome but repetitive game-play with gorgeous visuals and an intriguing storyline. The game took a decent length of time to beat, around 10-15 hours and featured some memorable moments. This game is similar to the Prince of Persia franchise in that it allows you to climb walls and jump between large gaps and across buildings. If you enjoy Prince of Persia then odds are you will like this game. The only real downside to this game is tha...

Flaws in exectution... 2
No pun intended, but in Ubisoft's new game Assassin's Creed, that execution is somewhat disappointing. In a lot of ways, Assassin's Creed is a whole lot of fun if you can take it for what it is, but exactly what this game IS can be somewhat hard to define. Story-wise, Assassin's Creed is a relatively strong game. You'll play as Desmond Miles, a former assassin in the modern day who has since gone legit., becoming a bartender and leaving behind his past. That is, until he's abducted by a pai...

Assassin's Creed - Like, Dude, it's Cool 0
After two years of hype I finally got to play through Assassins Creed. A game that has surprisingly refined controls if you ask me. It feels like Spider-man meets Prince of Persia with a little GTA thrown in for good measure. But it doesn’t outright copy any single part of those titles. And those parts add up to something great. It has flaws but I feel like the game is owed something positive after being criticized for repetition. There’s not another game like it around. You can’t say that very ...

Worth your money. 0
Assassins Creed is set in the modern era; you play Desmond miles a bar tender that is kidnapped and brought to a building belonging to Abstergo Industries. The reason for this is because Desmond had an ancestor who was u betcha an assassin. Desmond’s ancestor was an assassin during the third crusades who was responsible for the assassination of well known figures during the third crusades. After the kidnapping Desmond is laid down on a machine known as the animus where his sub conscious relays i...

Travel to past and Kill dudes 0
Assassins Creed had alot of hype behind it, and after 3 years of being developed gamers had very high expectations. Too high perhaps. The hype kinda knocked it off course and as a result AC held mixed reviews from most publications. The sad thing is, and this may just be me, is that I was never really hyped about Creed. Hell I never even read a preview on the game until the last few months before release. As a result, Assassins Creed is more like a suprise than anything. But Sometimes I don't li...

Assasin's Creed Review 0
Assassin's Creed has you play as Altair, a legendary assassin in the year 1191 A.D. That is all I will say about the story so that I don't accidently spoil it for you. It is something you need to experience for yourselves.Altair has a few different weapons. They are a long sword, a short sword, throwing knives, fists, and the assassin's blade. The combat works well, but occasionally has its problems. Altair has amazing acrobatical abilities. He can climb, and leap over almost anything. Although...

Unexpected Surprise 0
Where do I begin? I bought this game recently even though it came out nearly a year ago. Why wait so long? As most games that go into your backlog, you just don't have time to keep up during the Christmas period. So after booting up the game and learning that the graphics did impress as I have heard, I was a little disheartened at how awkward the controls felt at first...but then I realized I just suck and in no time I was scaling walls with no problems. Boy does it feel good ...

I just got this game recentlly, having ignored it for a long time due to poor reviews. I've been very pleasantly surprised. First, it's just drop-dead gorgeous. So gorgeous my wife acutally asked me about it: "what was that amazing looking game you were playing?" Second, when everything comes together, it's just awesome to play. Frantically running from the guards, bounding across the rooftops, quietly assasinating someone on the street and calmly walking away...perfect.Sadly, it doesn't always ...

Assassin's Creed is a third-person stealth game.The primary goal of the game is to complete nine assassinations which can be completed by a number of ways, before any assassination becomes available you need to preform different tasks like speaking to informers, eavesdropping, interrogation and pickpocketing. you also have the chance to help citizens that are being threatened or harassed by city guards, these certain tasks only become available however once you have climbed a high point to map o...

Everything about Assassin's Creed looks brilliant. The art style is inspired, the interface is simple, yet effective, the free running concept is well implemented and fun to do, and the fighting mechanism is also fun and engaging. At face value Assassin's Creed is a five star game, and I would love to give it five stars, I would love to love this game.... but I cant. The reason I cant is because of the mission design. The missions represent the core game play of Assassin's creed and I must s...

Assassin's Creed is an ambitious but disappointing effort. 0
The premise for assassins creed is great, a stealth game set in medieval Jerusalem. if it's done authentically with attention to detail then that in itself could be the makings of something special. Why add American scientists probing DNA strands to trace the lineage of the assassin back to relive his ancestors memories?...I have no idea. For me this clumbsy plot mechanic totally spoils the immersion into the rich game world that is set out before Altair. Then there's Altair himself, why is he t...

First of all let me say that assassins creed is a great game. You are an ex assassin whose memory is being tapped into from his ancestors which just happened to be assassins as well. Without giving to many plot points away this game plays on a lot of very significant historical events.

Without a doubt, Assassin’s Creed has been one of the most hyped games for the past year. Now that it is finally out, the question on the minds of those who have yet to play it is, “was it worth the wait”? Well, it is a good game with a beautiful presentation, but there still is much to be desired.If you’ve been hiding under a rock then the odds are you know very little about Assassin’s Creed – otherwise you probably have a general idea of what it is all about.

Apologies, but for just one minute I have to join the screaming multitudes. Let me say that there are cliff hanger endings, and there are endings that com e simply because the developers decided that the next game would begin here. Assassin's Creed has one of the later category. It's a shame that the game has such a bad case of schizophrenia - it oscillates so quickly from being engaging to being mind-blowingly dull that I wonder if it shouldn't go on prosaic, spend a weekend in Vegas and go s...

Assassin's creed is possibly the greatest action game on the market right now. It puts the player into the shoes of the main character Altair and allows him/her to explore the holy land as it was during the times of the third crusade. The beginning of the game puts Altair in Solomon's tomb, were he fails to get the target assassinated, and loses one of his team mates. Once back at your head quarters, you lose your rank and skills for failing the mission. To earn your rank back, you must assassi...
