Assassin's Creed

With all the studio hype, Gamespot fail to give this game the rating it deserves.

Before i start as i shall say this, this is an awesome-ish game, it's never to reinvent gaming revoloutionize the 360, but it's a good game.

I was really looking forward for this game since february 2007, I was geared up for the best medieval RPG since 2001. So was everyone else as well.

For the first 2 hours or so this game was that, it was fast paced, huge, brilliant scenery and realistic. Then it merely became tedious.

After about 4 hours of admiring the beautifuly sculpted Holy Land I realised that it all looked the same. Same old tree, same old frontier towns..same old everything.

The nine assassinations have enough variety between them, it the 'investigation' parts whee this game falls on it's arse. After 2 or 3 you feel that you're just repeating yourself.

The 8 is for the 2 or 3 hours that I really enjoyed myself, shame about the rest, eh?
