Assassin?s Creed is the next-gen game developed by Ubisoft Montreal that will redefine the action genre. While other games claim to be next-gen with impressive graphics and physics, 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. 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. Key Features
- Be an Assassin: Master the skills, tactics, and weapons of history?s deadliest and most secretive clan of warriors. Plan your attacks, strike without mercy, and fight your way to escape.
- 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.
- Relive the epic times of the Crusades: Assassin?s Creed immerses you in the realistic and historical Holy Land of the 12th century, featuring life-like graphics, ambience, and the subtle, yet detailed nuances of a living world.
- 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.
- Next-gen gameplay: The proprietary engine developed from the ground up for the next-gen console allows organic game design featuring open gameplay, intuitive control scheme, realistic interaction with environment, and a fluid, yet sharp, combat mechanic.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty looking, pretty shallow,
By
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Assassin's Creed (Video Game)
The game was pretty short, so I'll try and keep my review the same.It looks very good, but some of the game mechanics are frustrating; in spite of a slew of fight moves, the counter is the only one that's useful/needed, making for some shallow combat. There are some rather bad choices of action buttons, the details of which I'll spare you; the intention may have been greater immersion, by requiring a certain degree of attention on the part of the player, but the effect in my case was frustration leading to quite the opposite. The missions are essentially consisting of: (1) run around the city climbing towers or get some hint from city's assassin union rep about location to get info on assigned target; (2) gather two or three pieces of information through one of three possible avenues: beat it out of someone, steal it out of someone's pocket, get it by killing on behalf of another assassin that will in turn tell you something; (3) run around the city to find your mark; (4) kill that mark (in most games this would be a boss battle, here it's easier than step (2) above) and return to your local union rep and then union leader for the pat on the back. Then take this mission structure, and multiply it by nine, changing the location. Then add two more missions at the end that don't fit this pattern; and just as you start to think "great, finally something different" it's over. Here's hoping the soon to be released sequel Assassin's Creed II won't just offer more of the same. For replay value... there are some things you can do, strictly for obsessive-compulsive gamers - like collect hundreds of flags, climb every possible tower, rescue every citizen in need, kill all 60 templars; but there is absolutely no need to do these things as they will not help in the main story in any shape or form; on the 360, the achievement points would justify completion, on the PS3, there is no trophy support (inexcusable; though trophies weren't available when released, there should've been a patch enabling them at a later date). It is almost worth a rental, as you'll finish it in about 3 days and then never think about it again. Or you can have my copy for $24... ... and I guess I lied. My review is longer than the game...

Fun, but repetitive.,

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Assassin's Creed (Video Game)
Although the concept of the game is fascinating and very interactive, it gets repetitive. Throughout the story, all you really do is just take similar assignments over and over until you reach your goal.I'd suggest playing the game, but it's no where near as good as its' sequels.

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Assassin's Creed (Video Game)
I have a deep dark secret ... I could care less about plot. In fact I tune out any story scenes in this particular game. It's not that the plot is bad or uninteresting, it's just that I simply could care less. I don't play a video game for story, I read novels for stories! That said this game is freaking AWESOME. The graphics blow my mind, the gameplay is easy and challenging ALL AT THE SAME TIME.I love that you don't have to complete every side quest, and I love even more that completing the side 'quests' has it's own rewards. The music is great, the voice acting is great... the graphics are mind blowing (to me anyway! Haha). PLUS Mr. Assassin is pretty darn cute in his little white garb... whoops, sorry, girling out there for a minute. Definitely give this one a try. It's a MUST for any PS3 owner.
