Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360) > Reviews

Advantages: Excellent story, the assassinations are great
Disadvantages: Quite repetitive, some camera and control issues

Assassin's Creed is a game of two stories. Two stories linking in two aspects, but separated by almost a thousand years. In the run-up to the game's release, Ubisoft were tight-lipped about the "near-future" part of the game, but the secret came out regardless, so it's no real spoiler mentioning it. You play as Desmond, a bartender in the year 2012 who has been kidnapped by a pharmaceutical company and forced to undergo experiments in a machine ... Read review

Advantages: Fun, stunning graphics, long storyline
Disadvantages: repetitive, not very replayable, slow and glitchy sometimes

I borrowed this game from my friend, after hearing all the hype but not wanting to shell out another £30 for a game. And to be honest I am glad I didn't buy it. Don't get me wrong it's a fantastic game, but once I'd completed it I had a feeling of; "Is that it?" it is very unlikely I will play it again. First, the storyline. I'll try not to give too much away. You are an average Joe, whose grandfather was a master assassin back in the crusades. ... Read review

Advantages: Graphics, Sound And A Good Story
Disadvantages: No Online Or Multiplayer And You Will Have Finished It In Around A Week

Genral This is a great game in general but i think its a little over-rated Graphics The graphics are amazing almost perfect but you can still see traces of glitches in the graphics and in some places some sloppyness. theres a few textures that look like they were made to fit somwere, but then they decided to use them on somthing else aswell so they have jus stretched some textures and you can clearly see the pixels in them. ...

Advantages: The graphics, the story
Disadvantages: None so far

Assassin's Creed - one of the most hotly-anticipated xbox 360 game for at least a year...and does it live up to all expectations, or fall flat on it's beautifully-crafted face from a 100ft tower? First impressions are excellent, the 360 dutifully loading up a stunning intro sequence showing the superb level of detail in textures and animation, as well as the level of violence to be expected when you get to take control of Altaïr for yourself. So, ... Read review

Advantages: Graphics, Sound, Storyline, Controls, Longevity
Disadvantages: Nothing!

I'll start by saying that Assassin's Creed is without a doubt, one of the finest games that I have ever played. And now thats out the way, I'll tell you why. I had been waiting for a long time for this game to be released, and after watching many video reviews and trailers I braced myself incase the game wasn't as good as I was hoping. I didn't need to. The game is split into two storylines, although they are actually very interlinked. Actually, ... Read review

Advantages: Assassinations are fun, Great graphics, Great sound and voice acting
Disadvantages: Sword fighting is boring, bad enemy AI, disappointing ending, short.

...time between the release of Assassin's Creed in America and its release in Europe plus however much time it took for me to care i was inandated with my friends telling me of how amazing it was and that i should try it. So i braced myself for disappointment as a few hours in i realised that it definately wasnt as great as my friends hyped it to be but not as bad as others have complained about it. The first thing you see when you start up the game ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant graphics, innovative controls
Disadvantages: Tasks can end up feeling repetitive, AI can be dire at times

...great deal of hype surrounding Assassin's Creed, with emphasis on free-form action and next gen graphics among the reasons to get excited. And its true, the graphics are at time, quite brilliant, and the exploration offered by it is top-notch also. You take up the role of Altair, an Assassin in the 12th century, on a mission to slay 9 figures of importance to redeem himself. There is also a huge twist in the tail too, which I won't reveal, although ... Read review

Advantages: New game play, Next gen physics and graphics, History with a twist
Disadvantages: Your girlfriend/Boyfriend will get annoyed with you being plugged into the TV

I have just spent all day playing this game and I've got to say I'm pretty impressed. For those people that enjoyed Prince of Persia: Sands of Time think 'Bigger and Better' (it is made by many of the same team). Assassins Creed has taken all the bits we loved about PoP and has put them in a package that is much less linear and much more fun. Want to jump from that roof and grab the window ledge opposite? Thats cool, you can. Any part of the scenery ... Read review

Advantages: Graphics, it's good when you start off
Disadvantages: Repitaive, weak story, the cut scenes

I had always wanted this game since I knew it was going to come out. I went out to buy this game when it came out simply because it looked such good fun and the graphics were amazing some of the best I had seen on the xbox 360 however I was deeply disappointed by a lot of things such as the game play and the weaknesses of the games plot and the long boring cut scenes that are fed to you though the game that you have to endure. The game is based ... Read review

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

...up my 360 to play Assassin's Creed for the first time and I was not dissapointed. The graphics were stunning and the control system is very intuitive. I'm not sure about the modern/historical storyline. It just seemed to detract from what could have been a stunning game. The main issue for me with Assassin's Creed is that everything feels so REPETITIVE. all the tasks you are set are the same. All the soldiers you fight all look the same. The locations ...

Advantages: The gameplay is wicked and smooth with top graphics
Disadvantages: Get very repetitive.

When I first turned on this game I was very surprised at the story of the game, I thought that it would be straightforward set-in-the-past game, but it wasn't and had a bit more to the story line than I anticipated. I don't want to go into detail because I don't want to ruin the game for you. This game play for this game is very smooth, the running around the buildings, climbing etc seems very very smooth and natural. The camera positions of this ... Read review

Advantages: Graphics, Free-Running, Ease of Play
Disadvantages: Repetitive

Eventually this game arrived after all the hype in the computer games industry. After rushing out to get my copy i got home and put it straight into my console. Upon starting a new game I was confused by the route the developer decided to take. The game starts in a futuristic laboratory. The idea is that the people running tests on the subject are able to go back in time and relive history as the subjects ancestors. You actually play through the ... Read review
