most definitely I was gonna get this game. And its not a shock that I finally got it. (8 days after release, because I was at a cruise.). It got mixed reviews everywhere, and it got a bunch of glitches in the game. some say the Story sucks, and some say its really awesome. I didn't care what reviewers said, I had to get it. I got it, and I am Impressed.

Abunch of losers used to say "Oh, I heard of Assassins Creed, Yeah, Its nothing new". Well, Kind retard, it is, there is so much stuff new about it. so either shut your mouth, or see more videos on it. OR GET THE GAME.

Ok, so lets start the Review, shall we?

=================
Review
=================

First things first. This game was known to have abunch of bugs in it, thats why they couldn't release a demo. However it was playable at E3 still. There are STILL alot of bugs in this game, but im glad that that didn't stop them to release it.

Graphics - The Graphics aren't the best I've seen on the Xbox 360. But they are gorgoes at times. and Im glad the graphics aren't like Beautiful Katamari, just cause of whats in it. There can be SO MANY NPC's in the screen at once.



And also, what Jade Raymond said at E3 was no lie. you can climb up EVERY 3D Object that is reachable. But with all these features in mind, the graphics aren't toned down. Halo 3 was known to not have that good of graphics, but I think its around the same as Assassins Creed.

Gameplay - The Gameplay is awesome. its epic. Your Altair, an Assassin. There is so much freedom in this game. You can run around by pressing "RT". (right bumper). and Press "A" to go faster. You use the D-Pad to equip your items, like your wrist blade, sword, fist, etc. you can also "BLEND" in. Kind of a noobish feature, where Altair goes "Praying" stance, and no one finds him suspicious. The biggest part about the gameplay is the freedom, and climbing. there has been no other game, where you can climb every 3D object that looks climbable. that makes this game FAR superior.

Sword Fighting is not that bad. its kinda rusty, but its ok. Its not like Zelda or anything, but it has its own unique style, not a very GREAT one, but its ok. its rusty though.

You can do Misc. Things, like collect flags, and jump throw street market booths, and much more to get achievements.

Hiding - In this game, you can remain seen, or unseen. if your seen, people find you suspicious, or you did something that was wrong, they will be chasing you. and wanting to kill you. If your "UNSEEN", you can hide on a Bench. (lol), a Scholar, or a Haystack. the bench has gotta be the stupidest thing ever.

I haven't Assassinated anybody yet, so I cant really say anything about that.

One thing I hate the most is "FAST FORWARDING MEMORY" it is USELESS. It just RANDOMLY Fast forwards your memory, which sucks ass. I wanta beat the whole game, not Fast forward it, dammit.

Story - I wont spoil to much, but the story is about Desmond Miles. He is a bar tender that gets kidnapped by these people. and one of them happens to be Kristen Bell. (The chick from Heroes)



They wanta do some "TEST" with you, which allows you to access your past memory. So Desmond miles gets into this "Thing" and remembers his Ancestors. And Altair is one of them, and thats the character Desmond is most related to. So you play as Altair, and he is in Assassin. the story takes place in 1191 A.D. and you can explore 3 huge cities. Jerusalem, Acre, and Damascus. So anyways, the story starts off as Altair, standing with his other Assassin brothers. and they seek to find "Treasure". So one of Altair's main rival is *insert forgotten name here*. and he happens to have the treasure. Altair goes and attempts to kill him, but fails. leaving Altair thrown away. Altair quickly goes back to his Headquarters and talks with his master. So while there talking, Solomon's Army comes for the Assassins Headquarters, and you must stop them. But after your finished. your Master claims your a traitor. and stabs you.

And just like Metroid, you lose ALL your weapons, and you have to gain it back.

Weapons - Altair has a sword, and he has throwing knives. You can throw all these knives at enemies, and it will be a pretty stealthy and accurate kill. You have your wristblade, this is the main Assassination item. you can stab people from behind with it, or of course. Jump for your target and kill him.



You can punch people, grab and stuff, but thats not really a weapon.

There's this feature where you can GRAB people. and throw them around, you can also do this counter attack. Hold both triggers, and once your opponent attacks, you press "X", and Altair does a sweet move.

There is also another feature where you can PICK POCKET people. you just slowly "Z Target" but I guess its really "LT Target" someone, and sneakly walk next to them and HOLD "B" to take a Item they have.

This game is by far in awesome game, and if your a Xbox 360 owner, you should get it. It does not have online, but I can't really understand why it WOULD. Its a great game either way, there are many bugs in it though. Is it better then Halo 3? Meh, I think I will forget about Halo 3 now.. is it better then Zelda? no. what about Mario: Galaxy? Hmmm... Maybe.

Let me get this straight, you give a 10 to the gameplay when you admitted some of it could have been a lot better, and you gave the game a 9.8 despite two 8.8s in the other categories >_>

See what Popple is saying is that your final score does not match your review. Lets look at what you said (edited to the main points):

Sharp fell through a building and died once, does that count?

The reason why I give gameplay ten, is because I never played a game like it. the feature to climb every building and stuff is just unbelievable. and dont forget about freedom. GTA has freedom, sure, but Assassins Creed has freedom AND Superb graphics compared to GTA. Assassins Creed was about everything I ever wanted in a video game. the features of free roming, building climbing, and of course, it takes place arround my favorite times. 1191.
