Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition

Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition Review

Assassin's Creed. Wow, what an amazing game. You've got a good story, gameplay, graphics, and its open world. What more can you ask for? Yes there are a few bugs but nothing you couldn't get past. This is my review of Assassin's Creed.

Story 10/10 - The Date, September 2010. You play as Desmond Miles who was kidnapped by Abstergo. He is being forced to use a machine called The Animus which is a machine that reaches inside the genetic memory of ones ancestors. Attempting to reach the memory needed Desmond's mind blocks it. He has to now become his ancestor Altiar. His life takes place in the Third Crusade 1191 AD and is part of a clan that follows The Assassin's Creed. Altiar breaks the creed and is stripped of his rank. He has to now redeem himself by doing taks that his master gives him in the cities of Damascus, Acre and Jerusalem. Along the way as Desmond and Altiar you find out what secrets and betrayals. What is it Abstergo is looking for? Play and find out.

Gameplay 7/10 - The gameplay is something new. As Altiar you take the abilities of the Assassins. Free Running (Parkour), weapons (Swords, Hidden Blades, Throwing Knives), and the hits. They usually concist of, climb to the top of this, rescue some people here, easedrop, pickpocket, and beat up. It becomes tedious after awhile due to having to do that just to get to your target that needs to be assassinated. But not enough to make you give up. The free running is amazing, sword fighting is fun, and so on. When introuble you can either run out of site, hide, or blend in as a monk.

Graphics 9/10 - Next Gen graphics are here. The enviorment is amazing and beautiful, detail in face and voice acting is on hit. The game looks beautiful and the music goes well with what is going on. The only flaw you may see are a few things bugging like his lower tunic, but that's far and few.

Overall 8/10 - The game is a classic and is a great start in the trilogy. I enjoyed playing Assassin's Creed and is great for replay. I did it mostly for the Achievements. Things become repetative but moving past that it had a sold great story, looked amazing and was a wonderful play. Assassin's Cred gets a 8/10. If you enjoyed this game look for the newer titles Assassin's Creed II which is already out in stores and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood out in stores November 2010.

Repetative - K.W. - Zimbabwe Africa
I am shocked at all the great reviews for this game, especially by the so called profesionals. It starts out quite interesting, and the opening sequence is fun. The graphics are fantastic and you have free reign of an amazingly rendered world. But that is pretty much it. After about the first 30 minutes the game begins to repeat itself. How many times do I need to climb up and jump off a tower? The first time was cool, the second ok, and that was about enough of that. Though there was something like 50 more to go. And the meat of the game is just as bad. Sit over here listen in on a conversation, kill someone, run away, repeat. After a couple of repeats I didn't need to play anymore to know that there is probobly knothing more to this game, and if there is it is not worth finding out. In the end, the dull repetitiveness of this game left me realizing I would have just about as much fun washing the dishes or doing any other menial chore, and then at least I would get something accomplished. Simply not worth the time. I chucked mine in the canyon, I didn't even want to waist any more time reselling it. This may be a fine game for people who like, or at least don't mind doing mind numbingly repetitive tasks, but it is not remotely mentally stimulating. I would think people who play video games for a living would be a little more discriminating, but it seems the folks at Gamespot etc. are either on the take or slightly retarted.

Great! - Guillaume Schneider - Paris
After finishing Assassin's Creed 2, I decided to try the first title of the series. It turns out the graphics are just as beautiful and the gameplay exactly the same. Now, two things that people who played AC2 could critize are:
1. The missions are very repetitive compared to AC2
2. Your avatar (Altair) is a known assassin from the start, you don't "raise" him like you do Ezio.
Despite these two minor problems, I consider this game one of the best RPG in the past few years.

I guess - chocolatepudding -
its decent but the gameplay is too cluster and annoying.

too much guards running around, you can't even go a minute without being chase by guards.
