Review

 

Assassin's Creed is set in 1191 AD, when the Third Crusade was tearing the Holy Land apart. Shrouded in secrecy and feared for their ruthlessness, the Assassins intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. Players, assuming the role of the main character Altair, will have the power to throw their immediate environment into chaos and to 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.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Good and thats about it

For a cynical gamer i enjoyed this. Graphics, sound and atmosphere are fantastic. But gameplay is extremely limited, linear and provides no entertainment after a while. The extensive array of sword and weapon play is great but again turns into a "seen that, seen this - oh wow not seen that move for a few minutes, yawn".

The storyline is okay.

I really cant think of anything else to say other than buy, enjoy but dont expect anything else.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars It is an honest game.

It is a honest game,i played for 20 days,super detailed world and the only matter that tired me it was the gameplay that repeats itsself in every mission.You have to do the same thinks again and again..If the prize is good buy it,it is not a loss of money

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Awesome

Amazing game, very gripping storyline and graphically amazing. The sword fights are also fantastic. However it was obvious much time was put into those rather than the actual game play, too much repitition of the same old ways to find information, followed by the assassination of the big guy and a fight with numerous guards. It was like playing the same level over and over.
This is what lost the game a star, had there been a more variety of game play like in GTA games then this would have a 5 star.

Hopefully AC 2 will be better.

I'd also love to see a movie adaption of this game.
