Assassins Creed is based around the time as the Third Crusade, around the year of 1191 AD. This game is beautifully set up, amazing display of second generation graphics and in game play. In this game, you make the rules, you decide when, where, and how you are going to assassinate your next target. Ubisoft yet again brings games to life as you actually push your ways threw crowds and decide your destiny. Unlike other games of its class, you cannot just pull out your sword and kill everyone you see, it even gets as real as only being able to withstand humanly blows (Which means no more big blows to the head, and no more having hundreds of arrows sticking out of your body). I personally think that this game deserves 10 out of 10, and should have its place in every gamer’s house.
What's great about it: Beautiful Graphics, and a Big step into Second Gen. game play.
What's not so great: Realistic Combat, not your average kill everything you see game.

Crawl, climb, and jump over roof tops of buildings alone justify this next GEN for anybody to relish. You are surrounded by countless scenarios to maneuver to complete your tasks. I especially like the fact that each movement of individuals you interact with is different. The art design is outstanding. As you make your hasty escape from the goons, you are thankful for the hiding places you encounter. Fight scenes could use a little work, but as you move forward in this game you are sure to master them.

This game will be sweet, you are set in ancient times and are an assassin that can do anything, climb, crawl, kill and much more. The depth in this game is amazing, all of the sub missions are great to beat this game thoughly it will take the average gamer quite awhile, and even longer for the achievement crazies. With the huge gaming world, the solid game play, great graphics, depth of the game play, and the general idea...an ancient assassin this game promises to deliver. Its a must have for any gamer that is looking for a challenging game that isn't over in 10 hours. I say...BUY IT!!
What's great about it: Graphics, Gameplay, Style of Combat, Much More

I just beat this game last night, and must admit that while it does get a bit repetitive, there is always more than one way to approach any given situation, especially once you have been at least 60% upgraded. The combat is stellar. Without spoinling this game for those of you who have either not bought this game (shame on you) or not beaten it yet, this game is simply a must-buy. If you are trying to convince a parent or a spouse to get this game for you, tell tham that it is one of the best games available on the Xbox 360 at this time.
You simply must experience this for yourself. Buy this game, don't just rent it. You will want to engage in immense, ten-minute long sword fights in the city square time and time again. You really will.
Buy this game. You will not regret it.
What's great about it: Very engaging combat, especially when you rank up and gain weapons and abilities.
What's not so great: Very repetitive (but still very exciting).

I was very sketchy on Assassins Creed at first because I did not think I could get hooked on it. When I played it for the first time, I played for a consistent 5-6 hours at a time, when available. The storyline was fantastic because it drew me in and made me want to play more. Becoming an assassin was a fun task. I enjoyed the free roam feature because you weren't forced into another mission after you completed the one before. Although this is an older game for the 360, I would consider it to be one of the games that the 360 is best known for. Graphics are insane! I would highly consider playing this one before the 2nd creed
What's great about it: Unique story, original from any other game
What's not so great: Moves and kill tactics are very monotone and occur the same way everytime

Pretty sick game if you are into this stuff. I always liked Tom Clancy games and this looked somewhat similar. I was hooked on it for a couple days but eventually it is the same thing over and over but it's still fun. Pretty solid game for $20

You play as an assassin in a huge open world environment. You get assassination missions assigned to you where you must go to a town, and perform investigations about your target, and when you have acquired enough knowledge you will be able to complete the assassination.
The levels are huge, and you can just, run, and climb on almost anything. You have to use stealth when running/climbing to avoid being seen by the guards. The game play is pretty fun, the investigation steps have you pick pocket, interrogate, save people under attack by guards, and ease drop on people.
The only bad parts about the game are: the combat is a little lame. You have a one button attack, and the guards block almost every time you attack them, you just have to keep hitting them till they don't block it. The other thing would be that after awhile the missions can get somewhat repetitive.
What's great about it: huge open world environment, great graphics,
What's not so great: some aspects of the game can get repetitive, combact not the best
