It's a buy IMO... Assassin's Creed is my game of the year. The ending was also quite epic :D

Its love or hate (most love though). Some people tell me its way overrated, others says its gold.

It depends on what kinda games you like... did you like Hitman? If so, you may like this one.

You have to explore levels, and search for clues to find your target. Its pretty repetitive (like hitman). Find target, kill him. Only thing is, you use a knife instead of guns.

excellent game, sure it has its flaws not amazing i give it 9.25, sure its repetitive but its like the usual repeat like any other game.

worth the buy and the franchise has a bright future story is really really good, and the ending and possibly thoughts/predictions/implifications for sequels is AMAZING!!
BUY ITTTTTTT!!!

or u can wait about 3 weeks for Devil May Cry 4....and the only person who can beat dante is cloud...and thankfully the FFXIII's arent coming out soon soi can have a clear conscience when i drool only over DMC4 atm

I just borrowed this game 2 days ago from a friend and what a let down!!!!

I cant believe they have a message to hit X when you see a glitch,,thats pretty bad!!!!

Loading times are bad and some are even disguised,,,the hd light runs not stop. First time playing, loading took up to 10 min!!

And just a ton of other problems, sometimes I cant get into a cut scene I have to work my way into it!!!

The whole sci-fi thing is ok, but it threw off the game and is basically a waste of time cut scenes and time,,,,,,One time I had to go in my room to sleep, but I had to go in the room then back out, just to be told to go to bed again so the X action button would come up!!.

I still feel the game is great and Im sure 2 will be solid,, but this has to be the first ps3 game I played that I have ever seen that runs poorly,,,,I wonder why this game was so rushed?????

I kinda never recommends this (i'm against renting), but this game was a total disappointment for me and i had such hype for it.

I recommend you rent it.

This is a definte BUY game. AC plays way better than Hitman...I never really cared for Hitman either even though I played 2 of them. Altiar feels like a bad ass once you have all of the moves unlocked....cool counter moves are always satisfying. Still playing this after I completed Uncharted twice. AC has a great story ...you won't be disapointed.

You *have* to be a fan of the stealth genre,

I've asked people who hated it what kind of games they like, and it's never stealth games...

Great great game. Although I haven't finished it, it's pretty good so 9/10 for me probably. One thing I gotta say is sometime this game gets extremely frustrating. But the good outweighs the bad by a lot. It is repetitive, so play it in small chunks.

this game is almost everything but stealth.

It has a few minor "stealth" quirks, but surely you wouldn't compare this to MGS, Splinter cell, tenchu or thief.

Aside from some small bugs in the PS3 version of this game, it is fantastic offline.

If you are someone who needs an online experience, than this game is definately not for you.

Considering its your birthday and AC is $60 i say rent. You may like it, you may not. I hated the damn thing after 3 hours of playing it. I have gotten bad games on my birthday many times, believe me its not fun to get a crappy game on your birthday (40 Winks anyone?). But i will say it again, since AC isnt that long, rent it. Have your mom get you another game.

You dont need any stealth for AC, i almost beat it easily just fighting everyone in the open. Then i sold it for Ratchet and Clank. The idiots at Gamestop charged me a refurbish fee because of the fixed freezing problems it has. If you have AC and plan on selling it, make sure you LET THEM KNOW its fixed. Some people are just so stupid (refering to GS)!

I would prefer Devil May Cry 4, its going to be so jaw dropping awesome. It comes out Feb 6th. Definitely get it! It would also help if you told us what kind of genres your into.

No way.

Seriously, using stealth is your entire advantage in the game, I mean, sneak up, assassinate, take off...

it's just not an action game for people who need constant action...takes some thought and some planning.

DO NOT BUY ASSASSINS CREED - IT IS CRAP...

If you dont belive me rent it first and you will see that i am telling the truth...

And this game is shat compared to hitman.... there is only one way to kill the target in assassins creed whilst in hitman there are numerous ways eg drug, sniper, shoot, knife, poison, stranglel, bomb, ect and numerous opportunities and circimstances to do so...

When I first played AC I hated it, why? Because story is the #1 thing for me, and I didn't give craps about AC's story at the beginning so I just ignored it. Days after beating AC my friend told me to play it again but pay attention to the story, guess what? I love it now!

Well....I liked AC but the damn game is REPETITIVE! It goes like this :

Get to city -> Bureu(SP?) -> interrogate ->evesdroping -> informer -> pickpocket -> burue -> Kill target ->run-> masyaf -> repeat

It's a good game. You might like it or not. I say go for it.

this may sound weird but no the AI is actually very smart see back then to fight one on one was the way to do it.. it was like an honarable thing to do... its the whole pride thing... which i still believe in. it wont stop them from teaming up on u but they take shots at u one person at a time... but the cool part is when aometimes when u kill most of their freinds or "team mates" the last one or two guards left will just run away depending on how good ur countering skills are :P "mercy please mercy!" and then they run away :lol:

well actually gamestop policy is if u buy a USED game u have a week to return it no questions asked... i play em and if i dont like it i usually return it the next day or a day later where do u live if u dont mind me asking cuz that seems kinda weird if they dont take it back :|

Im currently playing through AC and while i do see what people mean by its repetative, the game is still a lot of fun. Have low expectations and your sure to love it, but it is a really good game imo.

You should search the forum history because this has been beaten to death. It's repetitve. I rented it and I'm glad I did.rosssca

This guy's got it right. There are so many forums asking the exact same question. I felt the same way about this game. It's terribly repetitive, the AI is braindead, and personally I didn't like the sci-fi element of the story. I'd say rent it before you decide. You can read my review of the game in my profile if you'd like.

It was fun it was just very repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, did I mention it was repetitive? What I mean is you do the same thing again and again and again and again then after that you do the same thing again. I wish I would have just rented it, but that said I did have some fun playing it, just not as much as uncharted or COD4.
