Assassin

Advantages: Open ended, Throughly enjoyable enviroment
Disadvantages: Some minor glitches, Slightly repetetive

...Assassin's Creed plays and looks remarkably like Prince of Persia, with a much larger play environment. The Graphics are stunning when viewed on a HD TV, and while the plot lets it down a bit in places, the game play more than makes up for it. However saying this you do get the feeling some aspects of the game could be improved, such as certain assassination scenes and other glitches, where the overall graphics are spoiled as our heroic assassin's clothes pass through solid wood, or a guard steps straight through a box. Players may find themselves not caring about the future assassins and only about the crusades, this is not a bad though as players, if they ignore the glitches, can fully immerse themselves in an open-ended, lifelike environment. Overall if you skip past some the glitches Assassin's Creed is well worth getting even... Read review

Advantages: Great graphics and contols system
Disadvantages: can get boring after a while

...This was an eagerly awaited game if ever there was one. It looked amazing on all the gaming websites and in all the magazines. Then launch day arrived and I rushed out like everyone else to grab myself a copy. Well I fired up my 360 to play Assassin's Creed for the first time and I was not dissapointed.

The locations pretty much all look the same. To tell you the truth I ended up becoming bored very very quickly. I spoke to a friend of mine last night asking him if he had completed... Read review

Advantages: Near-Perfect Graphics, Completely Original Storyline
Disadvantages: Feelings of Repetition, Recycled Dialogue in places

...Since the launch of the PS3, Assassin's Creed is a game that quickly established itself as a big name in then next generation gaming world. The graphics are nothing short of beautiful (something that few games can boast) with incredible architecture on the buildings that you will certainly see plenty of as the gameplays on. The storyline is something special with a blend of Crusade-era combat and glimpses of the futuristic research facility that compliment and contrast each other superbly. The downside is the feeling of repetition that kicks in around the 4th mission. By this stage the system of gaining information and taking out targets begins to make me wonder how long it is until the ending. Also, despite the awe-inspiring graphics, a lot of the dialogue in the game is used over and over, exactly the same. Despite this the game... Read review
