Amazing game until the ending... then, not so much.
User Rating: 8 | Assassin's Creed PS3
Halfway through this game, I told one of my friends that this was a must-have game. Having now finished it, I think I might amend my recommendation... The graphics in Assassin's Creed are stunning. It's a truly beautiful game. And the gameplay, while it does have a couple minor issues that can be a little frustrating at times (they always get you at the worst time), is overall really good. The sword fighting and free running are well designed. This is a game where you really can have just as much fun (and sometimes more fun) running away from your enemies as you can fighting them. It is repetitive, but I think for this game, it really only makes it more realistic...
The game is great right up until the conclusion. At that point, it really lost me. I'm left with the same feeling I had after watching the second Matrix movie. I had such high hopes to start with, but then somebody decided to try to make everything way more complicated than they had to. Instead of a "everyone lived happily ever after" or some other tying up of loose ends, the game ends with more unanswered questions than you even know needed to be asked during the game. They may be setting us up for a sequel, but with an ending like that, I'm curious about whether that will actually be something I would look forward to.
