Assassins Creed - A love or hate game.

I thought this was coming out for pc too?

It is coming out for PC, but it seems it wont be out until Feb. of 2008.

I just got it and the visuals are amazing. As I was approaching the city of Damascus the view I got of the fortified city was amazing. The crisp colors and detail of the buildings and land outside the city were beautiful.

The first hour or two is a guided tour and intro. After that you are basically given free reign of the map. The battle system is nothing more than hitting "x" repeatedly at this point, but according to every review I've read, the battles get more complex as you work your way through the game.

Plus, it was great stoned. Galloping through the forest, and than reaching Damascus, was rather relaxing and tranquil. Than I got to spill some blood. First impressions are good.

Lol the Ign review made it sound awful, the story line at least..

Yeah, I read that review as well. I think I will agree with them in that it will get redundant. I actually read it shortly after typing the above post. I would imagine sitting on a bench to eavesdrop would get annoying after the second time. I'm about four hours in and have had to do it twice.

I also wish they would have left the futuristic/sci-fi element out. I want a historical fiction time piece. Oh well. As of the second day though, there are enjoyable things in this game.

Hopefully, it will retain it's entertainment value for a little while, otherwise I will be pissed. I buy games so infrequently because they do let me down so often.

This is definitely one of the best games I've played on 360. The graphics are stunning, the combat is a new concept and almost all the time the killing cams always feel rewarding. The game is completely addicting and fun as hell while high. For me, it was definitely worth the 60$

Man, it seems like the PC users always get screwed when it comes to release dates! We always get crappy ports of EA Sports games, year late ports of GTA games, and year late ports of Halo. Why don't they just bring this shit out at the same time...if not PC first. Sure everyone is sitting there with their shiny new Xbox 360's and PS3's but in 2-3 years when those are looking old and tired, PC will still have the sharpest graphics ever.

At least we got Crysis and Hellgate: London....oh and World of Warcraft so i guess its not all bad.

Think of it like this, GTA based in medieval times that is pretty much the game or so far anyway. I have also had a bit of trouble sticking to the main storyline, I don't really quite know what's going on. It's still a lot of fun, I've just gone round looking for the Watch Towers and saving citizens.

well it's not the greatest by any means but it's ok

The game is probably one of my favorite next gen titles to date. I don't think IGN is even close to accurate for this game.

Oh and the game isn't short if you do stuff besides just the main missions. If you work on the side quests there is so much to do. I've only done 2 assassinations and I've played the game for hours and hours now.

I believe I killed the sixth guy last night, so I'm definitely getting closer.
