Assassin's Creed Description

The company that brought us Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is getting ready to launch their next big franchise, and it's promising some pretty juicy stuff. It's still early days with a probable 2007 release, but everyone's been salivating over Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed since E3 2006 and judging by what's been seen so far, this bad boy'll probably be the toast of 2007. The game centres around Altair, an assassin (in case you hadn't worked that one out) in the 13th Century Middle East who, along with his fellow assassins, is trying to end the Crusades by suppressing both sides. The action is spread across three medieval cities where Altair must climb, jump and ultimately kill his way through missions against the backdrop of a stunningly animated and rendered ancient metropolis. Judging from early peeks, the beauty of this game really is in the details. The cities allow absolute freedom of movement in the mode of GTA, with careful attention given to the tiniest of details to produce some of the most realistic graphics ever seen. The movement and look of each character (and when we say character, we mean "person to appear on screen") has been carefully modelled to emulate real human motion, with the AI prompting them to constantly react to you in a realistic way. As you move through crowds, you have to be careful not to draw attention to yourself, as anything untoward can bring the guards down on you in a heartbeat. That's not to say, however, that this is strictly a stealth game. If you fancy your chances at fighting your way through a posse of bodyguards to your target, you can. Just don't be surprised if a couple of well-placed blows brings you down. This is looking like the start of a huge new franchise, with a seam of intrigue threading its way through each game. Keep your eye on this. Seriously.

I really loved this game. I know that some people have found it a bit repetative but I enjoyed having to go around finding things/people. And all of the quests don't have to be completed to progress in the game. I'd recommend it to those who like the Resident Evil/Legend of Zelda type game where there is a lot of running round looking for stuff. All in all I found it a very good game. I particularly enjoyed running around and jumping from roof to roof

This game is pretty amazing. When you first start playing it you'll think it's one of the best games you've ever played. The graphics and landscapes are simply stunning, probably the best in any game I've played. It's true that it does get repetitive but I didn't really get bored of it - you never tire of the stealth kills and the sword battles and the boss levels get slightly harder as you progress. Leaping across buildings is loads of fun and Altair jumps from building to building completely smoothly. And climbing huge buildings to view the city (unlocks missions) takes you're breath away even after the 50th time. I played the game for a week then came back to it a week or so later since I didn't get time to play it and found coming back to it after a break makes you enjoy the game all the more again. It's definitaley worth playing and even with the repetitive missions I'd play the game again.

Fantastic game. The graphics are amazing, the sheer number of people on the streets is the 1st thing that gets you...they're everywhere and seemingly look and act different for the most. The size of the game is more than big enough, although when (if) I finish it I will still bemoan that there's not more....that's a good thing though, you only ever want more of the top games and this is definitely one of those. The feeling you get when you silently knife someone in the neck and then just stroll away is great, as is the feeling of absolute panic when you're trying to out sprint 30+ guards across rooftops and alleys so you can hide in a bale of hay. Brilliant game and thoroughly recommend it. nb. 4 stars only because finding the hidden items & templars is seeming impossible, although I'm sure others will have done it, I'm finding it tough.

Assasins creed is a game which has never been done before. You can climb absolutly anything you see, the combat system works extremely well. But the only let down is that the loading takes forever, and the tutorial is just too slow! It won't take you long to complete, but it is well worth playing!

I've waited so long for this game. The maps, surroundings & game controls are perfect I could spend all day just running and jumping around the various cities stealthy assisinating guards. It was very enjoyable for the best part & very challenging in certain bits (Annoyingly so sometimes) Sadly the story lacks a little substance. The ending could be one of the worst ever! (No spoilers) Obviously lining themselves up for a second instalment. Which I'll look forward to. No online play & the lack of side missions means there isnt much play time in this. Still a must play for anyone

This title is all graphics and no substance! Graphics are incredible and cameras are excellent. You hardly ever need to adjust your camera, its always well placed in the action. ...However this is not a great game. Let�s not talk about the terrible ending that's a whole other matter! After you play the first 3 or so levels it becomes INCREDIBLY repetitive - there are absolutely no new challenges to face. You will face the same types of foes and repeat the same tasks EVERY SINGLE level! Boring! After around the time you get the counter attack and grab break skill you can dispatch any enemy. You will find yourself trying to find as many soldiers as you can to fight, just for the challenge - alas there is no challenge. I would have liked some variety in the "bosses" skill levels. I mean throw in a giant, A ninja with 2 swords, A soldier with impregnable armour, anything! Where is the challenge? I suggest they realease a version and call it something like... "Assasins Creed: Without Desmond Edition" - you will see what I mean after you play.

Highly addictive and fun game of which the graphics a amazing. Although the lack of new game play found within the game is very disappointing.
