I'm about halfway through and enjoying it. The mission types do repeat, but the story moves foreward. Gathering flags and side-kills of Templars are interesting diversions. It is beautiful, though. 8/10Caduceus06
I just finished it and I'd also give it 8/10. It got tedious towards the end, and I kind of wish I hadn't spent 60 bucks on it, but for $38 it's totally worth it.
i'm about to finish it tomorrow but i'd give it a 9.1....it delivers a great stealth game for pplwho dont care much for splinter cell orthief. Not only does the game have great graphics, superb gameply, but it also has a very interesting story too. The only two things that i mainly hate this game for is
-some frustrating moments throughout the game
-and that ther isnt much Replay-value to it.
Sure ther are falgs, civilians to save etc. although u cant go back to a certain part of the game, instead u have to start all over again if u want to finish the game 100%. Some other minor probs i'd say are: many small bugs throughout the game, bad save system (checkpoint), kinda overpriced for what u get and thats about it. And i forgot tomention the very good controls too...it really immerses u into the game. (srry for spelling errors)
Rented last week and I to agree it was too repetitive. I'm glad I rented it because I will now not be buying it.rosssca
thanx i think ill purchase it but other than eavesdropping killing the people there is there anything else that u can do ((Shoot??))
1017blah
u can interrogate, do lots of sword fighting, pickpocket, find view points, save civilians, capture flags, use throwing knives, assassinate ppl (obviously) etc.
It's one of those games that you're all excited about when you start. Your first kill is awesome and the graphics are great. You get all tingly when you have to escape or climb one of the huge towers.
Then it hits you. You're playing a medevil version of Grand Theft Auto but without the fun. Rent it if you must.
Let me put it this way: If you have Uncharted than get it, if you dont have Uncharted than dont get it and get Uncharted. AC is an achievement but for my taste its alittle reptitive and slow. hashimgillani1

No, you just can't seem to accept that other people don't like the game as much as you.
I honestly don't care if people don't like it. I just don't like it when People echo what they have heard in a review and turn off other people from playing the game, especially something like its repetitive...

Well I have played it, and I think it's repetitive so.....yeah.

or maybe, just maybe, people actually think it's annoyingly repetitive? I didn't read any review except for Gamespot's before buying the game, and when I played it the repetitiveness killed it for me.

I don't see how it's repetitive unless you force yourself to do every save citizen mission (which is optional by the way) and do all the missions in between.
There is :
Informer - flag collecting
Informer - assassinations
Eavesdropping
Interogation
Pickpocketing
Save citizen
Kingdom horse riding
Flag collecting
Templar killing
And just plain messing around in the cities.

the thing is, collecting the flags and killing the templars don't really satisfy most people as there is no reward. and all those investigations are pretty much identical that by the fourth of fifth assassination, you tire of them. it would have been nice if there were different ways to do them. I honestly never felt any real satisfation from just walking up behind a guy pressing circle or walking to a bench and then pressing triangle. and beating up the guy to interrogate got kinda boring near the end. sure it might not bother some people, but it's going to bother others like myself.

Everything gets more difficult as the game progresses though. More guards, tougher areas to reach and so on.

meh not really. the guards are so easily dispatched of there isn't much of a challenge. hell on the Sibrand mission I interrogated someone right in front of a guard and he just stood there. it's all really a matter of opinion and that is why there are so many people who disagree with each other. some think of it as repetitive, others don't or others think the story makes up for everything else while others don't. that is why I believe this game should be a rental.

Yes. I pretty much did all of that, except for the flags, there is hardly any reward for completeing everything. The preperations for the first assassinations were neat, but it became tedious for me after awhile, and I was craving for something new. The fights are a joke, as you can do one hit counter kills for everyone. The AI is rediculous. In one instance I saved this lady from the guards. Well after I saved her, one of the guards that I fought was still alive on the ground so I used my hidden knife to finish him off, then all of sudden the lady is calling me a murderer and goes calling for the guards. I know no game is perfect, but things like that just piss me off.

I couldnt wait to get my hands on AC, i have never read GS review of it at all. I played a little of the game at someones house and thought i would like it. I got it the following week, enjoyed it for awhile only to find out that it IS repetitive. You dont need a review to find that out with this dull, boring, unimaginative garbage. Assassins Creed is not a good game by any stretch of the imagination. Its "Ok" at best.
EDIT: These are three definitions for the word "Repetition": 1. the act of repeating; repeated action, performance, production, or presentation. 2. repeated utterance; reiteration. 3. something made by or resulting from repeating.
Assassins Creed is all of that for the whole game. If you know what "repetitive" means, then like i said, you dont need a reviewer to tell you that. I had to point this out because apparently, some people think the word "repetitive" is a catch phrase.
Here's the rundown:
If you're a fast-paced gamer and you just quick and snag everything just to move up the game then you're probably going to accomplish missions with minimum requirements and quick and kill without even noticing that "whoah snap I already did that"
But if you aim for 100% gameplay and you seriously want to do everything in the gamethen somewhere between Memory Block 4 or 5, you're going to go like Altair and "Is this all necessary? Can't you just give me the blasted feather and be done with it?!"
I normally play the game before I read any review from anybody because no matter what you say people can be biased some times. True, Assassin's Creed can be repetitive from some people. Likewise, the only variety I find in the game is your Main Targets, which is practically the only thingI look forward to. Asassin's Creed is a good game...ok...a great game that showed alot of promise, but just like any other game out there, you're going to get bored with it sooner or later.
If you like slientlykilling people and need a substitutefor MGS4 except Splinter Cell, then I say Assassin's Creed is your game.
