Like pretty much every one else who played this game said: It's really fun when you play the first couple levels, then you realize it's going to be the same thing over and over, only more annoying because it keeps getting more difficult. Hopefully the next one will be good (if there is one).

Testing

Assassin's Creed is like no other game. It is a stealth game, set in the Middle Ages (except for some sequences). The story is awkward at times but is solid. The gameplay itself is very fun, and the controls are innovative. The combat is sort of hard to pick up, and easy to master. Once you can combo and counter, you will win every battle easily, no matter how many guard come for you. The problem is that the same missions are repeated over and over the whole game and events that would be random in real life show up on your map to do anytime. Also the guards are very dumb sometimes, and other times they chase you even if you aren't acting suspicious. The replay value goes down a lot because the missions you do are repeated throughout the game and there is no multiplayer. If anything this game is fun and definatly worth a rental, but the real draw to it is that all of the things that this game does will be improved times 1000 when the inevitable sequel comes out.

Assassin's Creed is the story of an assassin by the name of Altair, a member of an Assassin's Guild. You are required to assasinate 9 figures in any way you deem necessary. The graphics in the game are absolutely breathtaking. When you see the cities in the cutscenes, you are actually able to go anywhere it shows. The cities in the game are gigantic, and will leave you amazed at the great amount of detail poured into this title. You have access to different types of weapons, including hidden blades, swords, throwing knives, and other weapons. You are able to pickpocket more knives from bystanders, you can eavesdrop on conversations to advance further into the game, and intimidate bystanders to get more information on the assasination target. The game does get a little repetitive though. But the artwork and scope of the game greatly make up for that point. There are quite a few twists and turns in the story, especially near the end, so no surprises for you here.

I hyped this game from the day I saw the screens. I mean come on, a medieval game where you play as a badass assassin! Yes please! The game kept looking better and better with each preview. Then the game came out.....I rushed to the store and slapped down $60 after hyping it and reading all of the positive reviews. What I got was the most boring, repitive game I've played in years. The environments blew me away initially. This made the game appear to be fun for about a day. The graphics really are as beautiful as they say. The audio, isn't bad, but nor is it exceptional. The controls can be a little frustrating, but work smoothly for the most part. Combat itself, is rather dull, and quickly turns into the same thing again and again. Anyways, the core gameplay is fun. I mean, tracking down a leader and then assassinating him. Unfortunately, it never changes lol Just a different face for each leader. After I killed the 4th guy, I put the controller down, feeling as if I have seen all it has to offer and I haven't played it since. And don't get me started on the horrible side quests. Collect all the flags....how basic. Anyways, this game a no where near worth my $60 and it is just a boring game that I may never finish.

this is a good game i am just glad i only paid 30 for it because it is only fun for about one time threw then it is just lame it does have an amazing storyline and amazinging sound effects for the epic sword fights. it has about 700 easily achieved gamer points but the other 300 are finding flags so good luck not going crazy.
