Product Description

Assassin's Creed is the next-gen game developed by Ubisoft Montreal that will redefine the action genre.

Customer Reviews

Where do we go from here?
In a nutshell, repititious. Once you complete a mission or two, you repeat the same actions over and over. Even the street characters in the various cities (and sections of the cities) are the same but dressed differently, ie, the street beggars, the local thugs, the soldiers, their little spiels. The beggars are especially annoying. Beautiful graphics, great story, love riding the horses and leaping off of tall buildings, but overall, a let down.

Great game
this game is fun and cool.
advantages:
the graphics are really great.
cool way of fighting.
you can climb any building.
great story.

disadvantage:
short story.
too many replays.

It's tedious and short
The game's ending is great, you will feel great when you see it, it's a huge plot twist.

The fighting in the game is boring, making the game real easy, if you have problems taking down enemies in this game then you problably aren't good for games at all.

The graphics are out of this world, they're just awesome. The addition of being able to climb anywhere is great, gives a great sense of freedom to the game.

The game is really short, you can end it in less than a day, that would be fine for a shooter, but this isn't a shooter.

It's an average game, not a lot of replay though.
