Love or Hate? 1
written feb 25, 2008.It seems to be one of those love or hate games. I personally thought i would hate it after reading the reviews, and it turned out to be one of my recent favourite games. I think a part of the problem was the hype surrounding it until release, the fact that some people will outright hate that your playing in a simulator instead of real life (its not a spoiler if its the first thing in the game you learn), and the opinion that the gameplay is repetitive. But something only b...

Grade A game that fell a few steps short of perfection. 0
Here is a review for Assassin's Creed, available on XBOX 360 and PS3. I played the 360 version, however I have heard of very little difference between the two. Assassin's Creed is an overall quality game. I have nothing at all to complain about in the ideas of how it is structured and what it entails. This game excels at many points that make it stand out above the rest of the open world adventure type games out there.First off we have control. Control is one of the most important aspects of gam...

Amazing Game; Assassin's Creed 0
I am not the person who spends hours on games but when i picked up assassins creed i could not put down the controller. The game play is not hard to use, fighting in the game is excellent and probably the best i have every seen. I found that the difficulty was very simple and there should have been different difficulty's included. I really liked how the city's looked and know that the developers put alot of hard work into making the city's alive. The story line is also a great one, i was always...

A game you'd want to show to none gamers. 0
Assassins creed is quite old now so my review probably won't be viewed by many people (if at all) but I am simply doing this for the sake of practice and enjoyment. Firstly in Assassins Creed you play as Altaïr a master assassin during the third crusade in 1191 AD. Well actually it's set in the near future and the sections of the game set in the crusades are just a simulation that your near future character is playing through using a machine called the Animus. The only reason I can think of for...

A valiant effort at something new, but Assassin's falls short 0
It's a rare thing in this day and age for game publishers to take a genuine risk and invest in a game concept that steps outside the norm. So I was extremely excited by the potential of Assassin's Creed when I first saw its debut trailer. Assassin's Creed tries something truly innovative by combining a third-person "parkour" (free-running) simulation with interactive crowd dynamics. The concept revolves around a character named Altair who is compelled to embark on a series of assassination mis...

Fun, original, beautiful, one time thing. 0
I loved this game when i got. I ended up playing for 2 days straight and beat the story mode just to realize i missed some achievements. So, me being the achievement whore i am went back and played it again. Once you beat it your basically done though. So i'd suggest that you rent it....

Visually stunning 0
I had been waiting a while for this game to arrive and I was not disappointed when it did. My first impressions of the game was that the graphics looked superb, I mean the detail in each city is simply fantastic with the stark contrast of the rich sectors to the poor sectors is simply brilliant. I found the whole intro to the game rather strange but it was soon explained and I quickly became immersed in the detailed storyline. The storyline is quite strange as there really are two storylines w...

Beautiful, but repetitive 0
After finishing the game, my immediate thought was how incredibly repetitive it was. The game looks beautiful and the gameplay elements are simple and fun, the parkour aspects for example are great, but at the end of the day there isn’t enough to do, and the game makes you do the same things over and over again. But for the fact it was relatively easy to do and I was making decent progress through it I might’ve given up, but the story was interesting enough to have me see it through.It felt like...

stealth game? nonsense ! 0
Maybe it was all the hype around this game that made my expectation high for assassin creed or maybe it was something else? i really don't know because it was a long time ago and the hype high was long but over since the game was release in store. One thing i can say about Assassin creed is that it looks beautiful from the city to the country side you can see all the details that the developers put in the game once you stand there and take the moment to look at the environment. I can see why oth...

A promising start to a highly original franchise 0
Story (9.5/10): I really enjoyed this aspect of the game. The development team clearly put a ton of research and thought into the story, recreating accurate cities, historical personages, and giving you a highly stylized vision of life in the Levant during the age of the Crusades.In particular, the story does a surprisingly good job of adding a moral element to the proceedings. Unlike in a lot of role-playing games, where "morality" just means making either a clearly good or clearly bad decisio...

Assassins creed is a beautiful game, but it has some flaws. 0
At first glance, Assassins creed is a much better looking version of prince of persia: sands of time. But once you play it you will realise that it's much more then a prince of persia- splinter cell combo. It is in fact a great game, but repetition makes it a hit or miss type of experience. I really enjoyed this game, it is gorgeous and VERY detailed, not only from a technical point of view, but also from a gameplay point of view. Jumping from one rooftop to another can be very exciting, but als...

Keeps some of my interest 0
Great game, but after awhile it gets pretty boring. Its the same stuff over and over again but in different towns. I love the way you can throw daggers, have special moves and much more. Also I love how you can do a silent assassination i have played many games hoping that it was possible. I hope to see more out of Assassin's Creed two. But all in all good game. Just looking for a little more out of it....

The Leamenator & Assassin's Creed 0
"Assassin's Creed" is an interesting game... by that, I don't mean interesting in terms of story (although the story is pretty good), but rather in terms of how you look at it. On one hand, you've got this great period-piece videogame with a strange and different story, and some fairly fun and fluid platforming and combat skills. On the other hand, you've got a game that has got to be the poster child for repititious games. Throughout the entire game, with the small exceptions of the beginning a...

Creed Expectations 0
"Video game longevity" is something of an oxymoron today. With so many triple-A titles dropping each month, most games have a limited window in which to engage consumers before they move on to the next release. Even an expansive open-world game with DLC galore, such as Fallout 3 or Mass Effect 2, will be little more than a memory for the vast majority of gamers within a year or two. That being said, you can learn a lot about the quality of a video game by seeing how well it holds up past its ...

A pretty solid game 0
Assassins Creed is a game which got alot of hate after it was released. The main problem was the game wasn't varied enough. You do the same missions over and over again. Which you do, but the game itself isn't that bad. The story is pretty good. The twist is revealed at the beginning of the game. When you play as Desmond the gameplay slows down alot. But once you get back to Altair. The gameplay speeds up. The enviorments in this game are fantastic. The deveplopers did a very nice job with grap...

White hooded dude 0
Assassins creed is one of my favorite games of all time! GAMEPLAY: The gameplay is a fantastic blend of swordplay. stealth and free running. Although the gameplay experience does at some point feels a little repetetive but that shouldn't bother you to much. The gameplay revolves around those three basic mechanics (swordplay, free running, stealth) and packs them into an assassination mission. The games free-roaming enviroment's are packed with pedestrians, merchants and guards. Basicall...

A gorgeous first impression quickly becomes tedious and annoying. 0
Story: Assassin's Creed blends together two different ideas when telling its story, one of those being an alternate history version of real world events, and the other a futuristic sci-fi world in which you, as Desmond Miles are a prisoner inside of a research facility. Desmond is forced against his will to use a virtual reality machine, called the Animus, which has you playing most of the game as an assassin killing important political leaders during The Crusades in order to uncover som...

Original Assassin's Creed is too rigid 0
This isn't the best review, as I haven't played much of the game. The purpose of this is to encourage people to try the sequel and explain why I didn't enjoy the original. I hope to save people a few bucks that they might spend on the original and instead use it on a MUCH improved sequel. I was excited to get this game and got it for the holiday shortly after it came out. I played the game for a bit but could not get into it. However I (after getting a free demo) played the second one all t...

Assassins Creed 0
When it comes to a game that's over a year old now, especially one that at the time was so hyped, there is little for me to say when it comes explaining what the game's about. For those who have been living under a rock, Assassins Creed sees you taking the role of master-assassin Altair, a Saracen during the period of the crusades. Set against the backdrop of King Richard and Saladin battling for control of the Holy Land, taking the role of a Muslim warrior and systematically murdering those al...

Hot Times in the Middle East 0
Very few games take place in 1100 AD. In fact I can only think of one game that does, Assassin's Creed. The setting alone makes Assassin's Creed a very special game, but other than that the game is a success on a number of other levels. The game has a strong story, great gameplay, and stellar graphics. The game is kind of shallow but very ambitious, a great starting point for this franchise. In Assassin's Creed you play as two characters. One character is Desmond Miles. Miles is a ...

Assassin's Creed 0
A fantastic premise, wonderful world building and solid game mechanics make for an overall fun experience. Whilst it's brought down by repetitive mission structure and occasionally corny dialogue, this is a game well worth checking out, despite any flaws it has. Altair isn't much of a lead character but his motivations make sense and the narrative is very well-woven; the sci-fi ideas this game has are also very cool and leave the player engaged and eager to learn more about the more complex over...

Glockstar Armani presents this game with 2 *GLOCKIE* awards for:*BEST GAME OF 2007**MOST ORIGINAL IP*This was the very first game I got for my brand-spanking new Xbox 360, and it was so good it blew me back twenty feet from the TV screen the minute I pressed START. Sure, the game has it's faults, I'm not going to pretend it doesn't. But I'll be damned if it doesn't have the most intriguing story and coolest premise of any game I've ever played in the long, long history of games I've played! This...

Assassins Creed Review 0
I found the game to be good, but not great. I’ll start off with all the negatives, so as to get them out of the way: repetitive gameplay, a shit-load of bugs, and a not too satisfying narrative (very minor spoilers).Although AC claims to let you explore each city and the lands surrounding them at your leisure, there’s not much to actually explore. The game limits you to the outdoors, with only a handful of indoor locations. Aside from the actual storyline, there is not much else to do except col...

A truly thrilling experience at first, but will ware thin quickly 0
Assassin’s Creed is game from Ubisoft Montreal, which seems to blend together elements from Thief, Hitman and free roaming titles such as Grand theft Auto. It then sticks you in a timeline during the crusades and gives you some incredible gymnastic abilities and allows you to run, jump and stab your way around the holy land with the aim of assassinating a list of targets given to you by your master. You play as Altair, a master assassin who, at the beginning of the game beaks some important tene...

Do Not Compromise the Brotherhood.. and be Ready to Run Errands 0
Assassin's Creed is a game with a lot of misdirected and unused potential. Some will love it, others with loathe it but regardless of stance, there is a solid game buried in there.Assassin's Creed is one of those games that gets a lot of buzz, but ends up delivering a mixed package. It is by far one of the most visually impressive games out there, and is one of a select few games that manages to make sprawling urban environments that work (to a degree). Sadly, the game just push its own limits. ...

Assassin's Creed full review 0
The game starts with a person named Desmond, played by you, in the present time, being explained about a machine called the animus by a scientist guy ( Vidic ) that lets you see memories of your ancestors. The scientist apparently wants the memories for some research which is not clearly specified in the starting, but is slowly revealed throughout the game. So you start with a memory that begins the story of Desmond's ancestor-Altair(You). You get out of the animus at some intervals to discuss ...

It could have been such a legend... 2
For some unknown reason,there are not many games featuring the Holy Land in the time of the crusades.Maybe religious reasons,maybe not,but the certain thing is that Ubisoft announced back in 2006 that they were working on a stealth action game placed in the Holy Land,& also showed us an awesome trailer.I was happy too about it,but when I saw that the producer was Jade Raymond...a girl,I started being...you know,sceptical about the game.The concept would mix elements from the Hitman ,Splinter...

Another disaspointing game 0
Assassin's Creed is a game that you will want to play just once :(...and that's really bad,because I waited for a game that will breaks the cliches,but I was very wrong.Yes the game has its story,graphics,sound effects...but the gameplay feels weak.All kinds of climbing,freeruning,sneaking were very cool,but the missions repeat ALL THE TIME.There some people that you have to kill (very important people) and there are 3 cities-Damscuss,Acre and Jerusalem.There is only one guy per city...and every...

The Icarus of Stealth Action Games 0
At its outset Assassin's Creed (AC) promised to be everything I could want in a game. A large world in a fairly uncommon setting, an interesting story, amazing AI, and an exciting blend of game play elements. The animation is excellent and you can almost feel every kill. The sheer size of the cities and the amount of NPCs inside them are staggering. AC also offers the best horse riding game play behind Shadow of the Colussus and some very interesting crowd navigation game play dynamics.AC succe...

Assassin`s Creed: Inovative yet tedious 1
Nothing can quite describe Assassin`s creed. Its beautiful visuals, its cities which are bristling with life, danger, and corruption, and its engaging combat. You play as Altair, a trained assassin who`s rank stripped from him and forced to earn it back by killing nine important people to stop their corruption. Altair has a wide variety of weapons in his arsenal. He has an hidden blade, that can kill enemies with great speed and ease whilst being unnoticed. A sword, which is the main weapon ...

Incredible ambition, almost negated by huge flaws 0
I wish that I could have been in the Ubisoft board meeting where the "Assassins Creed" project was approved. I wonder if it went something like this…"CEO: Okay, guys, we need some surefire winners to keep our stockholders happy this year. I want a design document for Splinter Cell 6, another Rainbow Six game, and three more Tom Clancy games on my desk by tomorrow morning.""Studio Head: Um, actually sir, we have this new idea that we've been thinking about.""CEO: What? New idea? That's nonsense! ...
