Assassin's Creed is the next-gen game developed by Ubisoft Montreal that will redefine the action genre. While other games claim to be next-gen with impressive graphics and physics, Assassin's Creed merges technology, game design, theme, and emotions into a world where you instigate chaos and become a vulnerable, yet powerful, agent of change. The setting is 1191 AD. The Third Crusade is tearing the Holy Land apart. You, Altair, intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. You are an Assassin, a warrior shrouded in secrecy and feared for your ruthlessness. Your actions can throw your immediate environment into chaos, and your existence will shape events during this pivotal moment in history. Key Features - Be an Assassin: Master the skills, tactics, and weapons of history's deadliest and most secretive clan of warriors. Plan your attacks, strike without mercy, and fight your way to escape.
- Realistic and responsive environments: Crowds react to your moves and will either help or hinder you on your quests.
- Action with a new dimension - total freedom: Eliminate your targets wherever, whenever, and however. Stalk your prey through richly detailed, historically accurate, open-ended environments. Scale buildings, mount horses, blend in with crowds. Do whatever it takes to achieve your objectives.
- Relive the epic times of the Crusades: Assassin's Creed immerses you in the realistic and historical Holy Land of the 12th century, featuring life-like graphics, ambience, and the subtle, yet detailed nuances of a living world.
- Intense action rooted in reality: Experience heavy action blended with fluid and precise animations. Use a wide range of medieval weapons, and face your enemies in realistic swordfight duels.
- Next-gen gameplay: The proprietary engine developed from the ground up for the next-gen console allows organic game design featuring open gameplay, intuitive control scheme, realistic interaction with environment, and a fluid, yet sharp, combat mechanic.

 excelente juego December 4, 2008
En mi opinion personal, este es uno de los mejores juegos que tiene la PS3
, buenos graficos. buena historia, de verdad que vale la pena comprarlo...
Ambitious and fun with some big problems. November 20, 2008
The good parts of assassins creed are good enough to cover up the fact that it's extremely repetitive.
It's beautiful and really fun to navigate, especially when you get a good hop scotch game going with posts and flagpoles and beams. Though you only have to push a button to initiate free running, it does take a little skill to know which path is best. The movement in general is really fluid maybe with the exception of jumping into a wall,pausing slo-mo dropping and recovering.
The fighting, though extremely simple, is really gratifying. Particularly nice is throwing knives and throwing soldiers off rooftops.
The game is generally pretty though some textures get glitchy, the architecture is awesome especially when you look at a distance. Climbing the church in Acre is particularly thrilling.
It's been said before but the missions get really repetitive and the assassinations feel clumsy, you kill a bunch of soldiers, chase down the target, kill them, and run. The reconnaissance and planning doesn't really amount to anything.
I could take or leave the story, Altair is hard to connect with because he is at the same time distrustful and complacent.
The worst part of the game is the extremely long ... everything. You climb a viewpoint and you have to sit through the same panoramic camera move for a couple seconds. You save a citizen and you have to listen to their boring drawn out gratitude. You Assassinate someone and you have to listen to them justify themselves. Then you have to listen to your master yammer on and you can never skip it, even when you beat the game already and go back for replay you have to watch everything and it's really boring.
All in all I think Assassins creed is fun and worth my money and it gets points for trying a couple of novel things. I hope the sequel fills out the missing gameplay elements.

The storyline in this game had promise, but the way the game is played/designed led to confusion. I eventually lost interest.
Stunning for its cultural sensitivity November 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
While I agree with reviewer J. Powell's comments about the tediousness of the same sort of mission objectives for each new city and the amazing ability of the guards to know, half-way across the city, that you are wanted by guards on the other side --- I do want to praise the game for its cultural awareness. It's not often that one gets to take up the persona of an ostensibly Muslim character in the Middle East during the Crusades. There's not another game I know of that will let you hear French and arabic without translation while you're fighting characters who speak it. The direct opposite would be what I'd call the Worst Game Ever: Kill Switch: Take Cover, Take Aim, Take Over.
I think the game's futuristic framework is also innovative. Without it, Assassin's Creed might be just another seek-and-kill game, on a level with soemthing like the Hitman series for PS2 (another of my all-time favorites)Hitman Trilogy (Includes Blood Money, Silent Assassins, and Contracts). The storyline for AC itself sets it above all that -- but I'm not going to spoil the ending for anyone. When you finish the game, wait for the end of the credits: there's more.
I am wondering this, though: do you get anything extra for actually collecting all the various flags in the cities and kingdom renderings?
