Ambitious and fun with some big problems. Nov 20, 2008
The good parts of assassins creed are good enough to cover up the fact that it's extremely repetitive.
It's beautiful and really fun to navigate, especially when you get a good hop scotch game going with posts and flagpoles and beams. Though you only have to push a button to initiate free running, it does take a little skill to know which path is best. The movement in general is really fluid maybe with the exception of jumping into a wall,pausing slo-mo dropping and recovering.
The fighting, though extremely simple, is really gratifying. Particularly nice is throwing knives and throwing soldiers off rooftops.
The game is generally pretty though some textures get glitchy, the architecture is awesome especially when you look at a distance. Climbing the church in Acre is particularly thrilling.
It's been said before but the missions get really repetitive and the assassinations feel clumsy, you kill a bunch of soldiers, chase down the target, kill them, and run. The reconnaissance and planning doesn't really amount to anything.
I could take or leave the story, Altair is hard to connect with because he is at the same time distrustful and complacent.
The worst part of the game is the extremely long ... everything. You climb a viewpoint and you have to sit through the same panoramic camera move for a couple seconds. You save a citizen and you have to listen to their boring drawn out gratitude. You Assassinate someone and you have to listen to them justify themselves. Then you have to listen to your master yammer on and you can never skip it, even when you beat the game already and go back for replay you have to watch everything and it's really boring.
All in all I think Assassins creed is fun and worth my money and it gets points for trying a couple of novel things. I hope the sequel fills out the missing gameplay elements.

 Falls short Nov 08, 2008
The storyline in this game had promise, but the way the game is played/designed led to confusion. I eventually lost interest.

Stunning for its cultural sensitivity Nov 02, 2008
While I agree with reviewer J. Powell's comments about the tediousness of the same sort of mission objectives for each new city and the amazing ability of the guards to know, half-way across the city, that you are wanted by guards on the other side --- I do want to praise the game for its cultural awareness. It's not often that one gets to take up the persona of an ostensibly Muslim character in the Middle East during the Crusades. There's not another game I know of that will let you hear French and arabic without translation while you're fighting characters who speak it. The direct opposite would be what I'd call the Worst Game Ever: Kill Switch: Take Cover, Take Aim, Take Over.
I think the game's futuristic framework is also innovative. Without it, Assassin's Creed might be just another seek-and-kill game, on a level with soemthing like the Hitman series for PS2 (another of my all-time favorites)Hitman Trilogy (Includes Blood Money, Silent Assassins, and Contracts). The storyline for AC itself sets it above all that -- but I'm not going to spoil the ending for anyone. When you finish the game, wait for the end of the credits: there's more.
I am wondering this, though: do you get anything extra for actually collecting all the various flags in the cities and kingdom renderings?
