Assassin’s Creed Review-Really Good but Not Great

More than any other title for the PS3 I was awaiting Assassin’s Creed. It was to be the flagship title, the first truly blockbuster game for Playstation’s next gen gaming console. It wasn’t. But all is not lost, AC has moments within the gameplay that have never been seen in a video game before, parts that are truly amazing. The controls are all perfect, Altair the character you play moves and feels real. The Freerun system in the game is executed to perfection. It could have been all that everyone thought it would be except for the discombobulating story and the monotonous gameplay.
So I wont spoil the game for those of you that haven’t played it yet but just know that while the story in itself is ok the way it is told could have been done much better. Even after beating the game you will still have only a vague understanding of what was really happening, guess they will have to save that for the sequel and with the way this one ended there will have to be. The story itself is here and there and everywhere, and if they are implying what I think they are implying at the end of the game well oh boy they are really out there now.
Now don’t let me forgot the gameplay. In all the gameplay is fabulous, well except for those pesky investigations of which you have to repeat the same ones each time you want to assassinate someone. I would have preferred an option to either investigate or not and take my chances under the consequence that they may be tipped off to me coming or prepare a trap. That would have broken the monotony, because by the forth or fifth assassination you are like not again. It’s very redundant, but I guess they had to make the game longer.
All that aside AC is a very solid game, not the homerun I was looking for but a deep fly ball none the less. I would play the game just for the assassinations which are awesome. If I had to buy AC again I probably would but I would be much less excited. For me I give it a solid 4.0 out of 5.0 stars.

great reviews
totally true what you say about assasin’s creed..
check jackreyes.wordpress.com regulary.. I write the ps3 reviews
i am at the part where you have to kill three ppl from three different cities i got one guy but after i had already went to the other cities…and now i don’t know where do do my investigations in jerusalem and one other sity but im not sure which one at this time and ill tell u which one next reply plz help thx…
True, I am waiting. Here is a little bit of help about AC. When you get an assignment, and you don’t know where to do your investigation in a city, start going to as many viewpoints as possible. If you can’t see your investigations it means that you haven’t went to the viewpoint that covers that area. So all you have to do is start going to as many viewpoints as you can. The way I did it when I couldn’t see my investigations was, go to the nearest one to where you are at that point, and then go to the nearest one to that one and so on. This saves time and increases your efficiency here.
You will also find that once it uncovers an investigation, you may still want to continue picking up more viewpoints to uncover more investigations, or simply for the fact that you will definitely need the map as clear as possible for the later missions and it would be much easier for you to do this now than towards the end of the game when you want to finish. Hope that helps, if it doesn’t just come back to me with your more specific question.
