Assassins Creed
PS3UK Review: Assassins Creed
Assassins Creed is a game set in 1191 AD, when the Third Crusade was tearing the Holy Land apart. You play as Altair, a master Assassin with an attitude which eventually gets him stripped of his weapons and his title. To regain the respect of the other Assassins after breaking the creed, Altair has to assassinate some chosen targets oppressing certain cities. Assassins Creed has been hyped quite a bit but after the embarrassing demo at E3, does it live up to the hype?
IGN Assassins Creed Review - 7.5/10
IGN.com have reviewed at rated Assassins Creed 7.5/10 on the Playstation 3. I was kind of hoping for better on this game, you’ll see our impressions of it at the weekend. IGN Had this to say:
“If you play Assassin’s Creed for an hour, you will probably think it’s a fantastic game. But as Assassin’s progresses, its dual storylines and repetitive quests begin to grow tiresome. There are so many great individual elements, but they are lost among the myriad of poor decisions from Ubisoft Montreal. Wasting the big twist on the first five minutes of gameplay is a tremendous mistake, but not nearly as damaging as the ill-conceived assassination investigation quests, which get old fast. The exploration aspects of Assassin’s Creed and the combat are both plusses in my book. But those two elements are only a small part of the whole.”
Famitsu Review Assassins Creed
Famitsu have reviewed and scored Assassins Creed, giving it a 10,8,9,10 - 37/40
Quick summary:
•Story is totally engrossing, like a great movie.
•Feels like a real next-gen action game.
•One-button combat is somewhat unsatisfying, but will make the game accessible to more people.
•Story, worldview, presentation all top-notch.
•At times the map is hard to make out and there are bad camera angles. There are lots of little annoying things like that. (From the 8 review)
•The acrobatic play mechanics are totally addicting
I’m still not sold on Assassins Creed after seeing the upsettingly bad AI from the E3 demo. In any case, thats a pretty good score.
