5.0 out of 5 stars Visually Amazing, November 15, 2007
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Assassin's Creed Limited Edition (Video Game)
I was a little skeptical this game would live up to the hype. Then some diminished reviews came around and I was already feeling a let down. Where could they go wrong? Was my thoughts. Well that didn't stop me from purchasing this game. After 30 minutes I was blown away. All skepticism was gone and I was in Gamer Heaven.

Let me start off from the beginning. Yes there is a plot twist and it's pretty bizarre. Just think that your watching a Michael Crichton movie and it will make sense. Playing in the Middle East several hundred years ago is a different idea. It's hard to say what you could expect with this concept.

So what makes this game amazing. Lets start off with the landscape. It's brilliant and beautiful...Really majestic. You don't understand the scope of this game until you start playing. The world is surrounded by several small villages and three large cities. The only way to travese this open terrain with a horse. Fortunately they are about as easy to find as a car in todays society.

What also sets this game apart is the ability to do what you want when you want. There is no clock on you and your not stuck going into a mission. Everything is open based. The character is amazingly fun to control you can scale tall buildings and make amazing leaps of faith. Climbing up a building that is several stories and then leaping to certain doom is breathtaking excitement. This is what games should be about.

Beyond that is a mission based game. Similiar to Grand Theft Auto in style. You can accept simple missions like pickpocketing and protecting citizens to the more main based assasin missions. You can battle soldiers if you want as you have many enemies but it's not really advised. Following the assasin missions can be complex and involve several steps that make the story very intresting. Obviously a lot of time was put into making this top notch.

For anyone who likes open based games with large environments then Assassins Creed is for you. From the majestic peaks to the clustered cities. This is trully a next gen experience. The storyline and incentive program will keep you playing for many hours. Definately a worthwhile gameplay experience. If you want something to keep you busy that doesn't involve guns go out and get Assasins Creed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I expected from Ubi Soft and nothing more!, November 14, 2007
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Assassin's Creed Limited Edition (Video Game)
Assassin's Creed

Ubi Soft has become known to me as a company that puts out products they promise. When they state the game will display certain features, they deliver in spades. Assassins Creed is no different from this rule. They promised a new distinct control system, done. They promised a diverse and exciting way to explore the open environments they created, done and done. They said this game would make you feel like an assassin with iron in his veins and skill in his actions, well they didnt promise that, but its their too.

This game is a marvel to be seen, with your own eyes, while you control every move on the screen. And I mean every, the controls let you do more than just button mash. You are the assassin. If you own a next gen system, you should own this game. The grace and precision that the lead character, Altair, uses to climb and leap his way through the large cities presented here is in one word, amazing.

Never have I seen anything like this in my years as a gamer. I couldnt stop exploring and killing, because every minute spent, feels new and fresh. I simply adored this game since it was announced and I love it more that I have played it. Dont get me wrong though, the game has a few flaws, but the creators put so much in it, that they are easily either excusable or passed over because you are to busy to catch them cause you are having so much damn fun with what is awesome about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Epic Story Brought To Life, August 20, 2009
By 
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Assassin's Creed Limited Edition (Video Game)
I am a huge fan of UBISOFT and their gem of a franchise titled Assassin's Creed is no exception. I have owned/played this game on all three platforms namely Playstation 3, Xbox360, and PC. In my Opinion the PS3 version is by far the best and that is if you have configured your console correctly to your HD television.

Altair is an awesome main character to play as it really contributes to bringing the Holy Land to life and immersing you in a epic tale like no other ever told before through a video game. The Limited Edition is the way to go with an extra blueray disk with all kind's of special features taking you behind the scenes and dragging you more into the life of an assassin. The only complaint i had was UBISOFT could of included a bigger and not so cheaply made figurine. With this aside the game is so good that i can look past this minor flaw and appreciate the graphic art and story put behind altair and the world around him. A must have game on any console!!!
