A great story, just a very bad game. 07/06/2011

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages good story, nice graphics
Disadvantages the most boring game you'll likely ever play

So with all the teaser footage about this game in the hype of this impending release, gamers were wetting themselves everywhere. Anyone remember, the video.. the guy dressed like a monk, jumps off a building, and wrist spikes someone amongst a pile of guards, then the dramatic chase scene, and then, he looses the guards by blending into a crowd of holy people, and we all thought wow.. that looks amazing. Looking amazing is all this game really does im afraid to say. Don't get me wrong, it has a very interesting plot, but it just get lost in how poo the game itself is. First off, you are a man ... more

A Tainted Masterpiece 24/03/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages Endlessly enjoyable combat, wonderful graphics & soundtrack, pretty long game length
Disadvantages Excruciatingly long and boring cut-scenes, poor NPC audio quality, Altair's voice actor isn't good

Assassin's Creed would be one of my favourite games if it weren't for the few but significant flaws the game is marred by. Intense, engaging gameplay, gorgeous graphics, wide open cities, well-oiled combat mechanics, fairly intriguing storyline and fantastic voice acting from all but one of the game's characters make Assassin's Creed a truly unique and endlessly enjoyable experience, but it's tainted by mind-numbing detours from the gameplay. ~ [ Installation ] ~ Installing this game is straight-forward and doesn't require any online activations or the like, although the disc is required to be ... more

Nearly the perfect game 29/10/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Great gameplay and amazing graphics
Disadvantages Gets repetitive

I am not really a guy that plays games on computer, due to my love of the playstation and their excellent games. However after being given this game as a gift, I was eager to try it out. Of course I stumbled upon a problem that my laptop was not powerful enough to buy it, but I was in the process of buying a new computer anyway. Once my powerful system was bought I popped this CD in and the fun started. I will come to the specs needed later. Initially once you start the game you have a short tutorial mode which just teaches you the basic controls. Like how to wield your knife and walk through ... more

Assassins Creed 17/10/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages Excellent graphics, Fluid gameplay
Disadvantages None

Assassins creed, surely one of the best games you'll ever play. The gameplay is just fantastic. It is definately one of the most unique games ever created. The story starts with a bartender, named Desmond, who is held captive by a scientist, who researches on archive DNA of ancestors. He believes that Desmond's DNA contains very important data of his ancestors who were assassins. To do so, he uses a machine called the Animus which simulates 3 dimensional representation of the stories of ancestors. Thus after entering into the animus, Desmond turns into Altair, a member of the assassins group ... more

Assassins Creed 07/03/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Great graphics and story
Disadvantages Some of the missions are a bit repetitive

Plot: Great story. I was expecting a lot from this game due to the time era its set in and I have to admit it exceeded my expectations by a long way. Unlike some games that seem to forget to tell you why you’re doing what you doing, this game keeps you updated all the time. It never leaves you behind. The plot kept making me want to keep coming back for more to see what was going to happen next. You play as Altair a free running assassin who is given missions to assassinate certain well known members of the public. I can’t really say anything else about it otherwise it would be spoiled but one ... more

Assassin's Creed PC - Review & Problems 02/12/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages graphic detailing, can work on 64bit windows with 1.02 patch
Disadvantages Proceesor and Graphically too intensive for minimum specification

Game-play is similar to the Xbox 360 and PS2/3 versions of the game not much has changed, except for the bonus missions and weapons that can be unlocked over the course or completion of the game. Playability is poor on my system but again this varies; e.g: (in my case) sound comes after video, the game is very graphically intensive this be a problem but turn to the games' settings and then your graphics card settings if need be. Graphics are really good depending on your system capabilities the game may be played in full detail, make sure you have a compatible card. The problems of picture ... more

Buy Or Not? 17/05/2008

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Great Graphics and killing.
Disadvantages Boring and tiresome after a certain period

This game, in my opinion, was over rated and not as good as expected. The Visual effects and aestheticness of the game is phenomenal, the activision team really have done well for that, although the general plot of the game is poor and needed more thought as the missions are litterally the same for each level. The plot is a man, which is researched to find the history of a great, great relative, an assasin at the time of the crusades, the game focuses on the jobs of the assasin, completing various tasks and missions in doing so. Travel to different historic locations such as jeurousolem, to ... more

assassins Creed 09/05/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages stunning graphics, wide level freedom
Disadvantages not enough fight moves

I first heard of this game about two years ago, when it was released on the XBox 360 i tried to avoid playing it until it was released on the pc. the game is everything i hoped for and more, it has stunning graphics, an emersive story line and exellent game play. all that and the fact that you can go any where and do anything you want makes this title one for the collection. i recommend this game to anyone who enjoys the stealth element and feeling of creeping up on your target for the perfect kill. The keyboard and mouse control method can be a bit awkward at times, but after an hour of ... more

Assassins Creed: awesome game 12/11/2008

User recommends the product

Advantages graphic and sounds
Disadvantages gameplay

First of all, I would like to thank the publishers of the game for creating such a wonderful game. when i first played it was very exiting but then as you advance in the game it kinda bore me. You just have to keep on repeating the routine you've done in the first place. Like looking for the highest or tallest building to observe your surrounding, saving citizens, etc.. but i like how they came up with the story and the assassination thingy is cool and so is the graphic and sound. Game play is a bit realistic, environment is very detailed but the action is a bit questionable. Like why wont the ... more
