What's great about it: I'm an assassin!!!
What's not so great: A little short.

"It is kinda hard to stay stealthy (I really wasn't really trying to). The hidden blade is freaking awesome and once you get use to the fighting system it is cool to use the throwing knives fighting multiple enemies...Awesome!!!"

What's great about it: Graphics, story, setting, weapons, horse riding.
What's not so great: Horse controls are kind of awkward, repetative

"Assassins Creed is the best assassin type game ive played since Hitman. You get to rome around whole entire cities completing missions and trying to assassinate people who are making the areas bad. I feel like it was almost a little to addicting at first but after a while it simply starts to get a little repetative since all ur doing is finding someone most of the time and having to assassinate them. But i like going through the different cities of the game, some are just plain fun to mess around with because the guards are fun to kill."

"The game is ok. Don't let these other guys fool you. The graphics are great, the first two levels are fun, running around, jumping...etc. After the second level when you realize EVERY LEVEL IS EXACTLY THE SAME, with the same side-quests, running from the same guards. Ridiculously repetitive..."

What's great about it: Simple controls, immersive story and worl
What's not so great: Game ends without finshing the story

"This game is beautiful, cities full of people acting like people do. You can go about the game doing pretty mcuh whatever you please and completing assignments in many different ways. The fighting is simple but addicting and the stroy truly sucked me in to the point I was playing just because I wanted to find out what happens. Sadly at the end of the game there are many unanswered questions obviously leaving room for a sequel. I would say rent it and beat it then decide if you really want to own it. Overall a great game to experience."

What's great about it: Alot of cool fighting and ideas for story
What's not so great: But the 9th kill it gets very repetitive and very hard to complete

"This game is alot of fun and the idea of the game is great. It is definately worth buying but beating the game shows a true effort because by the last kill you are defnding yourself against 100's of bad guys. But overall this game is great... the sequel will no doubt be something great if they can fix some of the things wrong in this one."

What's great about it: Great controls, Fluid motion, Concurrent graphics, Great Story
What's not so great: Can get repetitive, somewhat short story, leaves you off at a pivotal point in the story

"This is a great game. Most people complain about how it gets monotonous, or repetitive, but really, how can you not have killing people be repetitive. Go ask your local hitman, and you will find out that you can only kill a person in so many new ways before it all gets old. But anyway, The controls are intuitive and solid. The feel when you are doing anything is "full." When you are sword-fighting, you feel the blades hitting; when horse-riding you can feel the horse running over the fields. The story is great, but the problem is that it ends abruptly, just as you reach a very interesting, pivotal moment. It can be frustrating, since you had just did all that work, only to let it end with the climax, pretty much. The motion and graphics are top-notch. The motions are realistic and fluid, giving you an organic feel, and the graphics are very detailed and keep you immersed. There are a few glitches here and there, but it isn't so much the game as the processing power.
Overall, I think this game is great. I replayed it two and a half times even with its repetitive motions. All you have to do is challenge yourself. Try countering everything with your hidden blade, or not killing any guards yo don't have to, or doing all the missions as a "hidden blade in the crowd." Or heck, just go running around the whole city without falling."

What's great about it: Amazing Gameplay, Stunning Graphics, Vast Landscapes,
What's not so great: Strange Outside plot

"This is an amazing game. The historical accuracy of the characters is impressive to say the least. The graphics are fantastic and the gameplay is smooth. The inside plot is great and the characters are interesting. The A.I is very good and leaves for long term play. The outside plot is a little shaky and takes away from the overall game but it is is still fantastic. All the cities are large and beautiful and reflect the real cities themselves. this game is very very good so make sure you look into it. It is worth the price and will last all players a long time."
