Great graphics, boring gameplay....

User Rating: 7.5 | Assassin's Creed PS3
If there was one game that was hyped last year, it was Assassins Creed by Uibisoft. Weekly updates showing a game with great graphics and unique fighting moves. In short it looked very promising. Problem with the game was that is quickly became boring. You wander around in a great Medieval world, with an amazing feeling for detail and player interaction with the environment. Your an assassin and you go from job to job eliminating one bad guy after another. Soon you notice that you repeat the exact same approach. You sneak into a building, try to avoid attention, quickly kill the bad guy and then make your escape over the rooftops. It's not all that difficult. Enemy AI is ok, but you soon killing them and fleeing away is not all that difficult. It's a shame, but it's true.

Oh yeah... One very positive thing about Assassins Creed was the appearance of Ubisoft employee Jade Raymond (http://www.jade-raymond.com) ;-)
