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. 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. Includes four new additional informant missions.

i like the graphism and the gameplay
however, it uses too much of the phapic memory of the compter, so it makes it slow sometimes, this is not a problem with the game but with my computer i guess ...
good game overall |
A disapointment.

Honestly, I thought this was going to be a great game. The hype for it was quite big. Lets just say that it gets really annoying after about an hour of playing. I have just started playing so I feel like I am getting my money's worth and that is really sad because I am bored the whole time!
Pros:
* Good graphics. It is all really well done and realistic.
* Interesting story line, that is fairly unique.
* The ability to climb up buildings like a monkey is pretty cool.
Cons:
* You have to click a lot of buttons just to exit the game.
* When there are cut scenes you and walk around, but you get really bored waiting for people to stop talking. They dont really say much of interest or give you much information. The waiting is like a break time where you could go get some snacks while you wait.
* The game is really repetitive. You do the same thing over and over. I wonder that anyone tested this game! It wasnt so interesting the first time I saved a citizen why must I do it again and again? And even climbing a tower can get really boring after doing 10 times.
* I also have had some problems with the game crashing. I fact that is really annoying because there isnt a quick save buttons you can save your progress. You then have to do what you just did over again. Also after the game crashed (no it isnt my computer) it loaded up in the bearu where I hadnt ever been before. Strange.
* The controls....who thought it was a good idea to have to push 3 buttons to do some simple motion. UG.
But just as a recap. My least favorite part of this game...the thing that just really makes me dislike it is the fact that it isnt that much fun. I HATE sitting around while people talk. I mean the entire game is scripted you cant change anything about the game it just goes on and on. Its like watching a movie most of the time. If I wanted to do that I would! Who wants to sit around waiting for people to say what they have to only to get back to the game and do the same thing you just did again. OH man....Doesnt keep my interest.
If you like games with fairly minimal action for an assassin game and a game that has more dialouge and movie elements than other games then you might like this game. If you like punching tons of keys ...strange combos I might add... to simply jump or climb then this is the game for you. |
5 Stars

Glitchy, but a good story.

| I recently purchased This game after hearing some good things from gamespot (NEVER listen to their biased opinions) and overall wasn't really very happy with the purchase. Amazon performed flawlessly in getting the order to me FAST. Now on to the game itself: Don't get me wrong, it's a great game. An amazing story that almost seems to be real, amazing graphics on a machine that can handle it, and an interesting free- running- parkor- real time combat mechanic that could have been a industry changing idea. Too bad though- that it seems as if the game stopped there... The idea. Nothing really feels that you are pushing the limits of the main antagonist. The mechanis could have been amazing, but this tittle is so ridden with bugs and glitches i finally got tired and just gave up playing. The voice acting was hit and miss as far as talent and always clipped and distorted on my machine. |
Not the review you were looking for

| There might a pretty good game hidden under a whole mountain of CRAP here. A historic medieval killing machine raising H E double hockey sticks in the holy land. Sounds great right? It would be without the fact that it's wrapped in this stupid "you're in the present remembering an ancestor doing all this stuff" sci-fi crapola joke of a premise. I could forget it if didn't rub your nose in it every two seconds. I don't want computerized hi-tech sci-fi imagery invading what should have been a great medieval fantasy/adventure. I think they were trying to be clever and provide "immersion" but it's just stupid. To load in, you get to relive that horribly endless tutorial/cutscene that started the game and to quit you can't right away. You have to "come back to the present", exit that stupid case you're supposedly in, pause the game, quit again, reload your profile, pause the game, then quit to windows, finally. Oh yea, it's an awkward console port to boot and the controls blow. Not worth the bargain bin price. Avoid this like the plague. |
Great game. Not so great on plot.

| It is simply stunning. Beautiful cities lie at your feet. The game play is smooth but as the game progresses things can get a little boring. The plot is pretty predictable after one or two jobs. The cities are populated by beautiful automatons, low on personality. Still, great fun can be had sneaking or hacking your way through Altair's memory. |
AWESOME!

| Assassin's creed Rules! This is one of the most fun games i have ever played. This is so fun. Although this is nothing compared to assassin's creed 2. But still this is so fun to play. The graphics are great and the story is amazing. But what was stupid before i thought assassin's creed was real not using the animus. Stupid. Well i only said that because i never saw the animus part i just watched video walkthroughs on the middle parts. Kind of stupid to watch but i was really bored. But one of the cons about the game are the requirements for the game. I had all the requirements for the game. I installed the game but it took 10 minutes to load the first screen literally. But that was on my lap top. But then i tried it on my desktop and it worked perfectly. Although still a little slow. This game is awesome. I would recommend this to anyone who like video games pc games or what ever other games are out there. Because this is one no.. this is the greatest game i have ever played next to assassin's creed 2! WOOOt! |
Assassin's Creed Rocks!

| I bought this game thinking it would be incredible. It is a good game in theory but it feels redundant like you are doing the exact same thing over and over again with only small changes to details. I have played probably half of the game so far and I think I am done with it. I appreciate the concept but not the storyline enough to finish. P.S. if you see me selling this game then ignore this review :-) |
