mindless 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.

The next big thing?

larry546 , 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.

DEVELOPED IN 1191AD!

Naz from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 06/10/2008

This game must have been developed in 1191AD!

A game for all u old folks I guess! lol ;-)

A 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.

WARNING

jules213 from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 21/02/2008

Don't rent this game (or buy it) unless your PS3 is or can be linked to the internet. you need to download something!!!? to be able to play it. What a pain.

The other reviews say enough about the game, pretty but repetative. At least Heaven's Sword had a certain degree of variation in its linear game play.

It's Good, But Not That Good

Splint07 from Portsmouth, England [Highly rated reviewer] , 04/04/2008

At first when you first start playing, it's really good, graphics are high in details and physics are good, story is ok but odd. As you go through the game you learn your moves back, you retrieve your weapons you once had, but seems to be the same stuff everytime, same actions you have to pull off, same kind of objectives, after awhile you get bored and are forced mentally to send it back, but for the first hour, it's worth playing.

WOW!

James86 from Sheffield [Highly rated reviewer] , 05/04/2008

This game was amazing and have to say the best one ive played on PS3 so far, the graphics really do astound you and the pure size of the game is pretty cool too.

This game is a must have, plan your secret assasination!

I would suggest buying this!

Looks good... plays bad

Mattrix from Waltham Cross [Highly rated reviewer] , 27/03/2008

Really disappointed with this one. Loved the idea of free running, jumping from building to building and stealth assassinations thrown in. Graphics are very nice and control isn't so bad. What's REALLY BAD is the lack of subtitles of any kind, on a game where characters seem to have LOADS to say to slowly give you the story of why you're doing what you're doing. There's also no way of skipping or fastforwarding these boring cut scenes where your character stands there talking with someone and as said with no subtitles you'll have no clue what's going on unless you listen closely.

I'd give it 2 stars because the graphics are so cool, but there's no excuse for not having subtitles on a story-driven game.

dissapointing

Leesy from Newcastle [Highly rated reviewer] , 24/07/2008

Good graphics, has you addicted for about 2hours then you get bored.

good game

A customer from London , 03/10/2008

initially I thought wow check out the graphics and the game play it was awesome, then i read some reviews with people sayin the game was too repetitive then i thought there is point there it is a bit repetitive. THEN again i said hang on, i am meant to be an assasin so of cause my job will be to assasinate people again and again. so i then started to focus on the skill of being an assassin and boy did my enjoyment level go up!!!!

Assasins Creed

girl1nterupted from Halesowen , 02/05/2008

I was very dissapointed with this game. Its very slow. You spend a good half hour learning all the controls and then the game just throws you into actual gameplay and you still dont really know whats going on. Or what your supposed to do. This game looked really good being advertised but was sadly dissapointing. The only good thing are the graphics!

If you have a lot of patience i'd give it a try but if not i'd give it a miss!

BORING

srah267 from broadstairs [Highly rated reviewer] , 30/12/2007

I had been looking forward to playing this - the tv ad looked awesome - but in reality this is a terrible game - don't waste your time.

Over 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...

Awful

A customer from Witney , 12/12/2009

As others stated terrible control system, jerky graphics and as if that wasn't bad enough the views and camera angles keep doing weird stuff.

After a tutorial which only highlights weird (and poor) controls you start flowing through the begining, seems nothing you can do other than as told for about 5 minutes at which point I got thrown into a pit and wasted an hour of my life wandering about climbing on stuff and getting nowhere.

Avoid!

Repetitive

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.

average

HarryTc from Derby [Highly rated reviewer] , 10/04/2008

more repetitive than anything else, ride a horse, sit on a bench, kill. Ride a horse,sit on a bench, kill. Ride a horse...

Good but...

JonnyCalcutta from Glasgow , 01/04/2008

Yes this game is flawed and yes it does have the worst ending ever (it took me 15 minutes to realise it was actually over) but it was a good ride while it lasted. The combat is simple, but I think that was a good thing in general. You can still pull off some spectacular assassinations and it really only shows when you get caught up in a fight against a lot of opponents (sadly another flaw which shows up towards the end). It has a good story (ruined by the ending) and is definately worth a rent. It just seems that either they were forced to shove it out the door too early, or more likely, they weren't quite sure where to go with it after a certain point.

all looks and no substance

scouser3435 from Liverpool , 20/03/2008

This game looks stunning but can become quite tiresome with all the breaks and cut scenes , had it for a day then sent it back

GR8

A customer from London , 28/02/2008

Fantastic game had to keep going till completed worth renting

good but with many flaws

nige2 from Chippenham , 28/11/2009

An excellent game the roof top running is very easy and enjoyable along with a very good story yes I would recommend this game to someone, However assassins creed is not without its faults for example nearly all the missions are almost the same investigate then kill.

There are also a few game play weird bits like the fact you can run up walls and climb great heights but cannot swim .

I would recommend this game to someone who likes astonishing scenery and to roam around and discover missions for themselves.

Tys's Short Game Review

Tys from Norwich , 13/11/2009

Pretty. Slow. Repetitive. Clever. Great.

Superb

TrogTrident from Rochdale , 05/11/2009

Assassin's creed is a superb game. It isn't without its faults but the sheer scale, scope and beauty of the gameworld is breathtaking. Primarily set in the time of the crusade our character Altair gains his stripes as an assassin and takes out more and more prominent figures from around the Holy land.

The main strength of the game are the huge cities to explore. They are full of people and military who are making their lives in the game. These are gradually opened up to the player as he progresses throughout the game. And whilst you are there you might as well practice your assassination skills.

The cities are exceptionally detailed and beautifully realised whether it is from the street level or climbing to the top of the highest tower. Battles can be quick or long drawn out chases through the city. There is a good variety in your opponents and your main assassinations do vary in their location and preparation.

Unfortunately once you've played a few missions it some becomes clear they're very similar. And the side quests are very similar too including the mind-numbing find the flag game.

That said there's plenty to do and new skills to learn. It has to be one of the strongest games for the PS3 and with Assassin's Creed 2 coming soon promising more variety it is hopefully only going to get better.

Disappointing

UsernameUnrecognised from London , 30/10/2009

Very excited to begin with, but after a while it felt like I was doing the same thing over and over. Great graphics, good story and setting but very average gameplay, camera needs sorting out as well as an option for skipping the long chats!

To sum it up:

Repetitive

Drags in places

Great graphics (but that cannot make up for whats lacking)

Could have been better

fleety from Hartlepool , 24/09/2009

I heard a lot of talk about Assassins Creed and of its sequel and I decided I might give this one a try. I kept on hearing about how its such an awesome game and that the sequel will be worth it...I'm not as wishful thinking on this I'm afraid.

Gameplay: Firstly the controls, they were awful. Even after 2 levels I'm still trying to figure out which buttons use attack, dodge, etc. It felt like algebra class all over again, desperatly trying to figure out what to do when its all so confusing!

Also if you are being chased by guards and you want to turn a corner, for some reason our main charcter would run up the corner wall and drop back down. You want to turn the corner but keep running up the wall, while the guards stand their thinking why have they bothered to work in such a game.

Story: This was the real only good aspect of the game, the story is in depth and holds a bit of mystery. It helps to keep you locked in game because you want to find out whats going on and what happens to our main character. Unfortunately I cant comment anything because (and this is a first for me) I never bothered to complete the game. It was badly laid out, so cheap that I got so aggitated and decided to no longer bother. The controls are rubbish and the graphics are decent but smooth, fluent gameplay is impossible with choppy scenes. I only give it 2 and a half stars for the story aspect as that was the only good thing about it I could find.

Assasins Creed

A customer from London , 10/09/2009

An excellent game that draws you into the storyline. Character movement is one of the best you are likely to see - until Assasins Creed 2 comes out!

excellent

A customer from Hull , 06/09/2009

so good i bought it, what more can i say :)

ASSASSINO

OSo from KT15 Addlestone [Highly rated reviewer] , 01/08/2009

Good Game

LOOKS GOOD

PLAYS WELL

I RECOMEND IT

Good, but short lived

BlackPanthar from South West , 30/07/2009

When I first got this, thought it was fantastic. The gameplay is brilliant, and the graphics better.

But after the first few missions you realise its always the same. Get location, pickpocket etc. Then kill the target.

Worth a rent, but i wouldnt buy as I doubt it will entertain you for more than a week.

wooo

bignatt from Nottingham , 27/07/2009

very good if a bit repetative

but worth a rent for sure !!!

Assassins Creed

Katanic123 from Doncaster , 01/07/2009

Very pretty but incredibly repetitive, no trophy's for those of you who like that kinda thing

average

A customer from South London , 18/06/2009

the gameplay was good but was let down by the fact that it was too repetetive

Assasin creed

dudester from Grays , 12/05/2009

Its decent enough not too difficult and has good graphics. The biggest problem is the completely pointless repetitive nature of the gameplay. I do like the style and the free running across the rooftops is quite fun the combat is fun but theres so much repetition it takes the enjoyment away.

Fun but limited by its repetetive nature.

A customer from GLOS , 29/04/2009

There are very few quest types and the types have next to no variation:

Climb a tall tower to scout the area.

Follow someone to a quiet spot and punch them till they talk.

Cut up a group with your sword.

Sit on a bench and listen to someone.

Follow someone and pick pocket them.

Run around collecting flags within a time limit.

Silent kill a couple of guards within a time limit.

You do them repeatedly throughout around 10 areas before each areas final assassination. The game is very limited which makes it impossible to give it a top rating.

However the quests are fun. The movement of the character is fluid most of the time. Running and climbing around cities works very well. Especially when you realise you don't have to spend much of the time hiding. Its not perfect, every now and then your character will perform a stupid action rather than the action you expected and ruin the illusion.

The fighting mechanics work well. Running over a rooftop and quickly taking down a guard is satisfying, as is the swordplay against a group as you pick them off one by one keeping the others at bay. Again it isn't perfect, you can get away with mashing the button to attack and performing the odd well timed counter to down all the groups.

The only part of the game I didn't get was collecting the hundreds of flags littered around the cities. To make sure you get them all would require ticking each one off on a walk through map or spending days slowly scanning each nook and cranny in each city. For what? To say that you've got them all? For a false sense of achievement? It's no fun.

The graphics looked good and ran fluidly for me.

The game is fun. I happily played it to the end. It's a shame the quests can be done with your eyes closed after the first area as they don't change, but its better to have repetitive quests that work well rather than varied quests that don't. It made it easy to pick up and have a quick go for half an hour and put it back down knowing you've made some progress. At no point was I asked to go and kill rats in the cellar for experience and sell their tails to the shop for coppers either. Which is always a bonus!

Just ok

dodgyd55 from Aberdeen , 18/04/2009

This game starts off very well, good ideas, nice visuals, well thought out controls and then the game hits the wall with the boring gameplay 25% though the game.

i thought this game showed great potential in the beginning before i was required to repeat the exact same missions again and again and AGAIN the only thing changing is the city.

This is a real shame because the story could of been really interesting. The in game mechanics of hiding in plain sight are a great idea, but executed poorly and very buggy, but i still had fun with this element.

i thought the fighting system of the game was its strong point. This is because the game tries not to be a hack and slash, and encourages dodging and parrying enemy attacks. It also feels very rewarding to counter a series of enemy attacks whilst low on health. But the down side to this is once you learn to counter attack it becomes too easy to do and removes the dangers and challenges of being spotted.

over all great concept for a game, but just fails because no variety

Best platformer on ps3

mohammatt from Greenford , 15/03/2009

this game allows you to do all the thing you wanted to do when playing the old prince of persia games and it has a very intresting story line. tge only down fall is the dissapointing ending it is not a very clear ending but because assassins creed is part of a trilogy it leaves some questions to be answered on the later games. overall its a 8.5 out of 10

Great game

B.g from London, uk , 13/03/2009

this game is really good, great graphics, gameplay, characters. however, the story can get a bit repetitive, with the same missons. Overall, a four star game.

Assassins Creed

A customer from Blackpool , 07/03/2009

Took an age to get into the game and lost interest by the time it actually started.One of the worst games played

gets better

AjaxSco from Galashiels , 17/02/2009

this game imo starts really boring and thn all the assignments are very repetitive which get old quickly. but it does have a good ending few fights tht wr worth the bordom. cnt wait 4 the next 1 so all the questions at the end can be answered

Not Bad

BurnsyBoy from Stoke-on-Trent , 10/02/2009

After seeing the game advertised on television i was very exited about recieving the game.....the game on first impressions is brilliant, feels though you can do anything. But As you progress through the game it gets very repetative (same moves and jumps just on different buildings) although the missions are a bit different. i got stuck roughly midway through the game and couldnt find any missions anymore although i went to the top of the towers like it tells you too. There are different towns you can visit too which all looked the same. The character you play (Altair) has very realistic moves and the graphics are excellent. Maybe i am not giving it such a great review as i would have if i completed it. It just put me off completely when i couldnt progress past the midway point and sent it back immediately - perhaps it was just me being thick!?

Annoyingly flawed

A customer from Nuneaton , 01/02/2009

I have had this game for several months, as I only really have time to play games on the weekend. Originally, after a first impression I gave the game 4 stars.... this has had to be lowered to 3 stars.

Graphically the game is impressive...

The fight sequence is a bit overly simplified for my taste.

The sprint option is a bit random... as you will find yourself climbing walls etc etc when really you wanted to run fast!

The ending is terrible, really really terrible.

Yes it does end that way... don't think you have missed something.

The game is more like a prequel as opposed to a finished product.

oh, i remember....

A customer from Solihull , 30/01/2009

I bought this game when it first came out because of all the hype it was getting, i looked at all the videos etc and thought it looked amazing! when i got it the first 3 assassinations were awesome! but then i just realised it was just more of the same stuff over and over. the fighting is good though, how it relies on counter attacking and finishing ur eneimies is great fun, even if it gets very repetitive.

And so after completing it I sold it, and then one day when i was bored I really wanted to play it again and so i rented it, after playing it for 1 hour - 1.5 hours i remembered why i sold it. its fun just to run around free running and pouncing on eneimies but only for a short while.

good game. but only for rent i would say.

i do recommend it though.

Too repetitive

A customer from Southampton , 29/01/2009

For the first few hours this is a very impressive game. Stunning graphics, excellent audio, and great game play. Eventually though, you'll get bored of doing the same thing over and over again and like me you'll send it back! Worth renting for the breathtaking beauty of the game, but once you've done the first mission, be prepared to do the same thing another 9 times!!

Good Game

A customer from Oldham , 29/01/2009

Good Game ,Good Graphics,Good Gameplay !!

Surreptitiously blown away!

A customer from London , 18/01/2009

The most visually stunning game I have ever seen! From the opening film sequence it is hard not to become immersed in this masterpiece. Climb and jump from the tallest of buildings; view landscapes unparalleled by any other game for its beauty and depth; become immersed in a enthralling story line… oh, and not forgetting the enjoyment of doing what an assassin does best!

Will be buying a.s.a.p. Brilliant!

Too easy & repetitive

A customer from Brentwood , 12/01/2009

I found this game far too easy and completed it within 2days of renting it out... Also once you have been to 1 city and completed the objectives, they dont change throughtout the whole game. Simple game for the simple minded, you will enjoy if your a non-regular gamer.

A good start...

A customer from London , 07/01/2009

This game is fantastic to look at and the ability to free run across the large cities is great fun. I was totally hooked for about 8 hours, completing the first 3 sections and exploring the world. And then the graphics and gameplay wore off and the game became samey and dull. A shame as it is a good idea and does many things very well. Rent it, just don't expect to be playing it after a few days.

BORING!

Spotfist from Exeter , 06/01/2009

I honestly have no idea how a game like this ever got funding, who thought it would be a good idea to make a game where every mission is exactly the same? I am soooo glad I played this before I bought it, every mission consists of, beat a guy up, listen to a conversation and then pick pocket someone! It's absolutely terrible!

I reall wish that people who reviewed this along with GTA4 and gave them excellent rating should never be allowed to do so again, it just makes buying a game a complete gamble!

This game doesn't even desserve one star!

poor

A customer from Aylesford , 12/12/2008

i was not patient enough to wait for the intro to finish as it could not be skipped

Assassins Creed (PS3)

A customer from Bristol , 04/12/2008

Excelllent game. I'm fairly new to the gaming world so I found it quite a challenge but worth every second. After returning it, I spotted it cheap at Zavvi so bought and played it again! I would highly recommend it to action/quest/conspiracy game fans. Superb graphics, entertaining story, challenging gameplay and a cool main character. There's a sequel out soon too!

Would of been great if it acually worked!!!

A customer from London , 20/11/2008

WARNING ALL PS3 USERS!

Ubisoft have really screwed up with this title as as soon as you play you have to download the 1.05 firmware for it to work and when you do it still doesn't work and crashes at the first load screen!!! Ive checked quite a few internet blogs and alot of people have had the same problem but some have got it to work.

Still DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!! its worth a rent but if you buy it you have no guarantee it will work with your PS3. I bought it for my p.c. which worked flawlessly. I could of given this game at least a 4 but due to bad development by ubisoft which is an outrage for a games console it gets a fat 0

'Assassin's Creed'

Skynet from Penrith, Cumbria. , 19/10/2008

Best game I played for a long time AAA+

Nice

A customer from North Walsham, Norfolk , 19/10/2008

I like this game a lot, visually stunning, however a while the missions are a little too easy and repetative. That being said I would certainly recommend that people give it a go.

boring like hell

A customer from London , 23/09/2008

I was so excited when I got this game, as every one was saying: 'oh, ah, super....' etc...

Unfortunately, after playing it for couple of hours I wasn't so excited any more.

1) cut scenes - you cannot skip them.

2) long travels - after playing it for couple of hours I can say that this game is about travelling (on foot, or on horse back) not about assassination, as you spend most of the time just walking / riding horse around, which takes ages, before you even start any action.

After two days I was bored to death - too bad, as the story and the graphics were promising. :(

So if you want to waste your time - try it, otherwise stay away from this title.

Ok

Graham1 from Renfrew , 19/09/2008

The game is good, but it could have been 100 times better if it wasnt so repetative, its the same thing over and over and over and over again...

But saying that it was worth the rent, not worth buying though

Over-hyped/rated

Billstar from Altrincham , 27/08/2008

When i first stuck this game in my console my first thoughts were, 'wow this game looks amazing, omg awesome i can climb up stuff then jump off really high into hey stacks!' And then after a quick run around the city thing decided its time to start playing properly and do the so called amazing story line.

After an annoying amount of boring long dull cut-scenes i went on to my first town/mission. (maybe its just me, but im not a fan of sitting there listening to so many cut-scenes instead of playing) After arriving at the town sneaking and sneaking in which was all very cool. I started looking around at what to do. Then i found out what i need to do and started getting on with it. This was all well and cool scouting the city by climbing up high buildings, saving people from being attacked etc. But then it got a bit boring. Anyway, after a while i did everything i needed to in the city and then got on to the last part of it. I won't give away too much of the game if your thinking of renting it but basically i did something and then ended up getting chased out of the city. This was all awesome. However, once i escaped i went on to my next town, hopeing i would find some new missions and cool new things to do. Whereas what i found out, was that i had to do the exact same, again, wow... So i did it in the hope that the town after would be better, however it wasn't. So then i decided i couldn't be bothered doing it again and left it there.

In short - Repetative and dull with too many long cut-scenes.

What is going on?

TexasPete from Nottingham [Highly rated reviewer] , 27/08/2008

This game had an amazing potential! sadly it did not live upto it. Gameplay is repetitive and mind numbingly boring! Animation at times is very choppy and the errors in the game too numorous to mention! Constantly if falling he would sometimes get stuck and have to reset the game. The PS3 version is a poor port from the Xbox. I would not recommend this game to anyone. Shame on the developers as they had a great idea but rushed it to make a quick buck!

ZZZzzzzzzzzz...

A customer from Glasgow , 17/08/2008

Very boring and continuous repetition

Assassins Creed

Gazzzo24 from Pen y mynydd , 16/08/2008

This is absolutely amazing. I have never played a more immersive game and loved the plot lines and side missions. Play this, you will not regret it!!

Flawed but Brilliant

A customer from Suffolk , 26/07/2008

Fantastic visuals, interesting story line, beautiful cites to explore and good action well worth playing.

The only let downs are the repetitive investigation/side mission you carry out ( such as pickpocketing eavesdropping, saving civilians etc ) are very similar across all the cities which can become boring but you can skip some these if you want.

There is also a counter attack move you can do with the sword which normally works very well. However this ceased to work in the later stages of the game for no apparent reason. Then again as a rental i did not have the instruction manual so maybe it was by design to make combat harder.

Good but repetitive

JRM247 from Alexandria , 16/07/2008

Visually it was good on the eye but personally I found it to be very repetitive and find yourself replaying the same task over and over. I have just finished GTAIV and Drakes Fortune so not sur if setting the bar too high. A good all round game but like I say repetitive in parts.

Good Game

Chris Young from Stockport, England [Highly rated reviewer] , 06/07/2008

I really enjoyed this game and really got into it. The only let down was the map pointing you where you needed to go was quite distracting and often wrong.

'Assassin's Creed'

A customer from Torpoint , 26/06/2008

what an amazing game, extrememly hard but loved every bit of it, could have done with a health cheat but oh well

Very cool trip into the past.

Losidias from Glasgow , 11/06/2008

Still working my way through it so this is more of a work in progress review but impressions at this stage are very good. The graphics are stunning, the first time you come out of the valley to see a huge city spread out in the valley before you will certainly make you stop and admire the scene for a moment or to.

I loved the whole 'hiding in plain sight' concept, So far I have found it maybe a little too easy to escape the guards when I have jumped to the aid of a poor damsel before ascending to the rooftops again (was starting to feel like the other caped crusader ;P )

Storyline is pretty good so far as well. Although some may not like the break in the action when you walk around as a present (or future) day descendant, i like the feel of the two mysteries currently being woven.

The Free-running aspect was pretty cool as well, when I was leading up to my first hit, I spent a little time just experimenting with different jumps and walls to see what my limits were, all the time the animation is spot-on and very well handled.

After all the planning and scoping out the site of the assasination, it quickly goes from being a smooth slick operation when you side up to your target and stick the knife into his back, to mad and exciting few minutes while you make you escape through the streets and up onto the rooftops again.

Top marks so far for an immersive game.

Assassin's Creed

bowzy from Chichester , 11/06/2008

The game play and fluidity cuppled with the graphics make an enjoyable experience however that experience is short lived to the menotomy of the tasks required of you plus this useless section where you step out of the game and into what is your reality purely to sleep!

In short: it looks good, feels good but becomes dull very shortly, The Darkness is a far superior game to play

Almost Awesome.

A customer from Milton Keynes , 20/05/2008

As a whole this game is outstanding. Well worth the wait.

The controls are a bit finicky at times. But for such outstanding graphics and gameplay, it can be forgiven.

There can be a few annoyances with having to do long riding sequences. But you soon forget about those. Totally worth a play!

GOOD

bush2013 from Prestonpans [Highly rated reviewer] , 19/05/2008

the game is very good with lots 2 do and it is the best game i have rented yet which is a lot of games

Stunning Looks

alan228 from Harrow , 08/05/2008

This game is the best looking game out on the PS3 in terms of graphics.

Like the other reviews say, it can be a tad repetitive, but if you like the storyline it's a good game. I believe they could've made the ending a bit better as it was a bit wierd and not a great ending.

The fighting is good, the AI is ok but the main thing with this game is the graphics.

I wouldn't recommend buying it, but rent it for sure.

Best PS3 game

Assasins Creed is brilliant game. The graphics are stunning, details are brilliant and the story line is well thought after. Finally a great balance of each department in a game. Would have loved a mutiplayer option or online playable chellenges as well. But overall, great game, good graphics, brilliant story. This one is a keeper.

Beautiful, but repetitive

A customer from London , 08/02/2008

This game had an amazing build up and a massive amount of money spent on the advertising and preview of it, this was genius to the build up of the game as the pre-orders and even sales after launch went through the roof.

It was only after you got it home and played a couple of hours of it did you notice the repetitive nature of Assassin's Creed. You end up doing the same missions over and over in three different cites. The environment is beautiful, but its not the free-roaming game that i was lead to believe, in each city you are only allowed to move to a new sector after completion of several repeated tasks.

I can see now why the developers didn't release a demo before release.

Excellent marketing for a game with wonderful graphics and motion, but is sadly lacking in gameplay.

YOU'LL EITHER LOVE IT OR HATE IT

A customer from Gravesend , 09/07/2008

the graphics are the best ive seen along with uncharted but the game lacks any substance you'll either love it or hate it. as i said graphics are good but has mindless romeing around and the wepons are poor along with the gameplay. there were some good elements like the hidden blade, graphics and climbing buildings with your fingertips (for the first few hours). i recomend give it a try.
