Brief synopsis of Assassin's Creed

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. Features:

Realistic and Responsive Environments: Crowds react to your moves and will either help or hinder you on your quests.
Action with a New Dimension - Total Freedom: Eliminate your targets wherever, whenever, and however. Stalk your prey through richly detailed, historically accurate, open-ended environments. Scale buildings, mount horses, blend in with crowds. Do whatever it takes to achieve your objectives.
Intense Action Rooted in Reality: Experience heavy action blended with fluid and precise animations. Use a wide range of medieval weapons, and face your enemies in realistic swordfight duels.

Rated - 0 starsmindless repetitive tosh

Martin Bryce from Darwen , 19/11/2007

I was very excited about this game, been following it for a year or so, finally get a chance to play it and wow what a dissapointment, the graphics are amazing but the framerate is very choppy and not fluid. The gameplay is even worse, its very mind-numbingly repetitive, there is no variation, no sidequests, you have to do the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Freerunning was cool, thats about it.

Rated - 4 starsThe next big thing?

larry546 [Highly rated reviewer] , 14/11/2007

This title has huge potential, all we know is that you play as an assasin named Altair, working for and organization of assasins attempting to end the war in the holy land.

Early reviews of this title have been mostly positive with only a few criticisms levelled at control and camera issues, both of which could be easily fixed.

There have also been hints about genetics and genetic history, hinting that this coud be the first of a series of assasin games placed throughout histroy.

Having a shot at Hitler for the sequel maybe? We will have to see.

Rated - 2 starsA real disappointment

JamesW from Edinburgh , 24/11/2007

I was intrigued by the game as its setting seemed interesting and I was curious to see what the plot was about. Unfortunately it seems like they released it unfinished. The missions are repetitive and unsatisfying, the combat fiddly and the camera gets in the way too often. Maybe by the time the inevitable sequel is released in a year or two they'll have finished this game. As it is I'm glad I didn't buy it.

Rated - 3 starsRepetitive

A customer from Norwich , 12/02/2009

This game is good but play the first three levels and send it back. Every city is exactly the same. Not just similar, EXACTLY THE SAME. Sure, the free running element is fun. That is, until you realize you're just holding down two buttons and running about, it doesn't take any skill or timing to do.

Try it out but don't hold out for the ending.

Rated - 2 starsOver Rated!!!

Hooky69 from Dunstable , 21/11/2007

This is such an over rated game. Played it for a few hours, and have to say I don't see what all the fuss was about. Sure it looks good but the gameplay is pants and as others have said it the same thing over and over. No online makes it a game that i wouldnt bother to buy. Renting it was the right thing to do.

Worth a play but not worth buying it. Expect to see loads of copies on Ebay soon...
