Assassin's Creed
Xbox 360

Sony's once exclusive title (Haha, that word has been erased from Sony's dictionary as of late) moved onto the Xbox 360, and into my reach. Preordered (as usual) and beat it first night (as usual). Now this game is extremely cool. Running around and basically doing drive by killings of guards without anyone noticing is tons of fun, no matter how many times I did it (No joke, I did it over 1000 times according to my stats). Story was kinda cool, kinda odd, since it is not really the past you are in (It's a recreation using your ancestors memories, not a spoiler it's like the first thing you learn). However as you go on, you soon learn there's only one combat skill worth using (Counter attack), The others aren't fast enough (although by the end I did start using Combo Attack often). The ending leaves you angry, since it's the ever famous ZOMG SEQUEL style ending.

Cool Factor - 10/10
Replayability - 5/10
Story - 8/10
Multiplayer (With drunk friends) 0/10!!! DAMN YOU LACK OF MULTIPLAYER!!!
Drunk friends trying to recreate crazy assassinations on each other - 10/10

Overall 8/10

According to your review it sounds quite good.

Wouldn't that mean that the story would be a 5/10 and the replayability be 8/10?

Nope, I don't wanna replay it because I've done all the shit before, some games you can do things in all sorts of different ways. This game you just go and do it the same way every time. Every single assassination of main dudes is led up the same way. You go to the bureau there, talk to a dude, he says get 3 sources of information, you get em always shit like interrogation/eavesdropping/pickpocket, you head back, he tells you where it's at, you go, kill guy, head back to bureau and warp to your boss. Every city, is the exact same.

Damn I played a little bit was fun but got a little bored. Still want the game, though.

I played it a little yesterday at my mate's house and its awesome imo. Although i agree with siris the start of it is a little boring. Still definitely going to buy it, and hopefully it wont cost around $100 dollars when i do =].

Oh, but I was talking more about replaying the games in just playing it, not doing story stuff.

Meh, I haven't even started the story yet... well I have, just like 10min into it :P.

It's actually quite the opposite, the farther you get, the more boring and repetitive it gets. Especially since at the end the rankups only give you +dmg rather than new skills.

FrogMan

Also being playing its and ofcourse on much better graphics console on my full hd plasma.

Kinda cool though i like the whole sneaking and listen to convo's and and jump in bales of hay from dizzy heights.

Sounds like a newer version of prince of persia with a twist. I'll wait for the next Tomb Raider to be released.

FrogMan

I dunno the last tomb raider's were not so bad but seems to be a very tired overdone franchise especially with thing like heavenly sword out.

PS: Although i have always been a fan
