 Amazing Game June 19, 2008

Assassin's Creed is a very fun play but it does have some pros and cons. Here is my list.
Pros:
Easy to learn controls
Fun fights
Good chase scenes
The freedom to do what ever you want
Realistic crowd and soilder reactions
Fun story line
Assianations are fun and challenging
Cons:
It is very routine
After mastering counter running is no longer needed after an assianation
Travling from city to city is boring
Guards will become very easy to kill after you gain rank 2 or 3
The secret character seems pointless
Getting to an assianation is only fun the first or second time
That is my review I would recomend buying the game for it is realy fun despite the cons.
The Creed June 23, 2008

This is probably going to be similar to many other reviews out there, but this is my opinion.
Creed is very console orientated. It's selling points are it's visuals- I have a high end pc and can experience everything on full settings as smooth as silk, and it's atmosphere.
On that note, this game is perhaps best game in years to capture the atmosphere and 'feel' of a immersive gaming experience. It actually feels like you are walking around the Holy land, with great shadow effects and lighting. The people who move around you are the closest to actual human beings, without actually being walking digital people. Also, there are no edge effects with this. Everything is very smooth, no rock face is spoiled by a jutting graphic triangle or polygon.
The gameplay is far more simple than I expected, going on what others have spoken of. I can run up to a building, and infact climb and leap over buildings very easily. I think the only real issue is dropping from the hanging position, but that's just experimentation with keys (I'm PC version). Altir is an incredible acrobat and his motoions are some of the best I have yet seen. Having Altir climb and scale walls and buildings is perhaps the games most impressive feat. Dust and small stones fall away under his feet and as you move the camera around him, whether suspended or still moving you can view the people moving below him. That is the shiny end of the coin.
I enjoy the combat system, being able to engage multiple opponants in a realistic manner is fun. Three on one is far more exciting than one on one.
The cons. . well, there is not much in the way of interraction in the game. Sure, you speak to people, but it's not open ended, it's all mission and side mission based. Saving citizens from the guards to give scholar and vigilante aid is fine, but it gets a little bit silly after a while. YOu don't really want to jump down from up high to save somebody just to have some vigilantes appear that you really don't need just to have to climb back up again. Also, it defeats the purpose of stealth and unseen death when you slay guards, to evade them again and carry on like nothing happened. There is not much to 'chew on' in terms of story and side mission. I would love to be able to have a RP element. To perhaps drag your dead into dark corners, barrels, through open doorways. I would like to be able to purchase items from the market vendors, perhaps getting a better blade or having my blade sharpened .. simple details. Can you imagine something as applaudably immersive as Creed combined with something like Oblivion, the RP extravaganza? Creed innovates in a way that paves the way forward for future releases.
The last but not least of the 'issues' with Creed is that it is difficult to exit the game. You have to leave the memory, have your other character get off the table, then quite to the menu, select the name of your saved data and then exit .. that's far too overly complicated.
My advice, get this one in used condition or on sale. It's not that it's not great value for money, but Oblivion cost roughly the same amount and there was far more to experience with it.
It's certainly a worthwhile experience for a gamer, you will spend time marvelling at details and hunting for your next 'job' whilst enjoying the detailed vistas of the far East- get it if not for the experience of moving through the detailed towns and cities.
Three and a half out of five overall.
Great game August 9, 2008

This is a great game that offers many hours of play time.
Some people might be worried about the controls in the PC version but once you get used to them they allow for much quicker actions than on console. If all else fails you can always buy a Xbox 360 controller for your pc.
 Needs more power than I have August 27, 2008

I have a Dell Inspiron notebook with 2.2 GHz CoreDuo, 4Gb of RAM and a fast HD running Vista. Admittedly, my video card is a bit underpowered - it's only a GeForce 8400 with 128Mb. The game is virtually unplayable, even with all rendering settings set to the bottom. Be sure you have enough horsepower before you buy the game!

Graphics are beautiful except for the color. The save gave is terrible in that there is none until you complete each mission which means you waste hours trying to get through a section starting over each time you fail.
