The truth about Assassins Creed

3 Rating: 3, Useful: 0 / 0

Ok let me start off by saying I did indeed enjoy this game it was fun and certainly interesting however I try to review games fairly and not go all fanboy on them.

Assassins Creed has amazing graphics first and foremost. In fact I would say it is probably the best feature of the game. The story (in the past) is also very well done although the ending was becoming fairly obvious (atleast to me) by the time I beat the first 4-5 levels. The story in the present time was a bit weak to say the least. You are a captured assassin that simply goes along with what you are told to do making no attempts at all to escape. The only real story of value during the present time period only occurs if you make sure to talk to lucy every chance you get as well as reading her and Vidic's emails. I was also disappointed that the developers for some reason decided to make Desmond (you present time character) unable to run obviously you can't run away but having to slowly walk around the lab was annoying to say the least.
As far as difficulty goes this game is kind of a joke =/ it is a decent challenge at the begining because you have to get used to the controls and the timing for combo kills but once you recieve counter attack there is simply no reason to die provided you don't go jumping off cliffs or try to swim. Finally for the idea of replaying this game once you beat it unless you absolutely loved the story or missed some things you want to do over there really isn't much replay value to this game. The fighting becomes extremely repetative (and easy) and unlike a true assassin you don't need to be stealthy at all though you could play through a second time and challenge yourself to be super stealthy.

As for the limited edition itself it scores big with me because I'm a sucker for tins. I was however disappointed by the 3" figure which I think they could have easily made a bigger model. Having the comic book/mini strat guide was a cool idea and of course if you've ever bought a CE/LE in the past it comes with the bonus disc like all others.

So the scores come up
Graphics: 5/5
Story (past): 4/5 (losing points for a predictable ending)
Story (present day:) 3/5 (but only if you talk to Lucy and read emails)
Difficulty: 2/5 (really?? assassins can't swim?)
Replay value: 2/5 (fighting to repetative)
Game Length: 3/5 (rental for any hardcore gamer)
Limited edition: 4/5

I really enjoyed playing this game. It however has many repetitive side missions and quests. However I do like the fact that you can return to finish side missions and retry any assassinations after you have beaten the game.

great graphics

great graphics and gameplay, game is a little short, you may want to do all the optional tasks in order to play for longer time.
a little confusing ending and cinematic should be skip ables (at least after the 2nd time). besides that great game.

Excellent concept, poor execution

This game has some great gameplay concepts, however it's designers made some grave mistakes during development. If you can get around to some of the seriously lackluster and repetitive missions, the game is overall pretty nice. Beware though, the ending of this game is horrible.. does not explain the story well at all.

Truely A Game That Deserves To Be Played .... Best In Its Genre

This game was fun at first, but honestly it's one of those games you love from the beginning, but then becomes very boring.

Alot of the assassination missions seem the same, and I just found that too bland. I bought the limited edition of both this and Mass Effect the same day. After killing 4 of the 9, I got sick of the game and ended up playing Mass Effect 3 times through (doing majority of the side quests and visiting planets each time, as well as reaching level 60).

I've noticed MANY glitches in this game, such as Altair's arm sucking into his body out of no where, or slowly sliding down a wall. Even enemies walking onto a roof then falling off only to continuously repeat itself.

The gameplay is meh, and the camera tends to irritate me. It might be great for others, but bothers me.

Also, this is the biggest Limited Edition rip off I've ever seen.

The box is bigger than the average 360 L.E. versions of games, yet offers the least.

The art book feels like its 2 pages thick, and the toy is as small as a lighter. And of coarse the standard for all L.E. versions of games, the bonus DVD. BUT THAT'S ALL THAT COMES IN THAT HUGE CASE!

It's not a terrible game, but it's not a classic either.

If you're looking for something fun yet challenging, get Devil May Cry 4.

If you want to play a game that requires attention to detail and alot of things to do and has a great story, get Mass Effect.

And if you want to just spend alot of time playing the world in multiplayer, get Call Of Duty 4.

Wouldn't know

I can't really say if I like the game or not. It is now Jan 1st and I have yet to receive it. It was supposed to be delivered between Dec 3 and Dec 10.
So... I hope if you purchase it you have better luck.

Game of the Year!

I just finished Assassin's Creed! The ending (and secret ending) definitely allude to a sequel and with the massive positive responses people are giving about AC, AC2 will definitely be made. I never got frustrated with anything (except when my 360 froze 2,000 times), and that's a first for any game. AC is positively the best game ever to be released. The gameplay was perfect, and easy, with the counter-attack system. Free-running and collecting flags were a great addition to the game. The story was extremely deep and wasn't lame like the same old Prey or WWII games' plots. Even with the game's story complete, there is still much to do, which really makes the difference betwwen buying the game and renting it. As for my rating, better than any game I've played before, a 10/10!
