How did Assassins Creed get a 9.0?

This game is crap. Its AI is downright dumb (360 version at least...I'd hate to even touch the PS3 version...). The graphics are nothing special, sure they look good, but there are better looking games on consoles. The game is very repetative. The combat is meh...wtf? I'm attacked by 5 guards...but fight them 1 on 1.

How exactly is this AAA material?

If this game got AAA, Mass Effect should have gotten AAAA

GS sometimes really surprises me...

I think it has something to do with the originality of the game.

Opinion?
Rated it a 9.0 myself too.

It's simply not for everyone.

Alex Navarro (DM): Okay, Kev, roll a D10 for Assassin's Creed's score.

Kevin VanOrd (Gobstaff): Wait, I have a Wallet of Bribing +2 from my trek into the depths of Ubisoft.

Alex: Okay, add +2 to your review roll then.

Kev: Okay. [Rolls]

Kev: An 8! Wow! Guess that makes this an AAAA!

Alex: Not so fast, Kev. A slavering fanboy jumps out at you while you're reviewing the game and distracts you from your scoregiving. He slaps you in the face with a Wiimote. Your fellow party members-

Jason Ocampa (Starling): That's me!

Alex: -Yes, we know it's you, Jason. Anyway, your fellow party members manage to pull the fanboy off of you, but not before you lose -1 point to your review roll.

Kev: Aww! I thought I was going to get the AAAA this gen. Fine, 9.0 it is.

9.0 was the right score I felt. Obviously if it had been a PS3 exclusive then Gamespot would have only given it 7.5 but thats microsofts Gamespot site for you ;)

Assassins Creed is a great game... get over it. If you don't like it don't play it.

Story is great!

Visuals are great!

Combat is fun.

and free running across cities was AMAZING!

Voice Acting was top notch.

The only downside was not enough variety in the missions & poor AI

Assassins Creed is great!
Story- Awesome
Graphics - Awesome (yeh it doesnt look like Crysis so what? its HUGE)
Combat - Awesome....when you are in Defense mode only 1 enemy attacks and if you are not then alot of them attack you......and combat doesnt have to be like Godof War with 1337 combo kills to be good
Climbing Every Building and Grabbing on anything that sticks out 3 inches = New and Awesome thing which makes AC a unique game
Music - Incredible
A.I. - Incredible at chasing you but dumb in some places so the game isnt too hard.....A.I. is brutal in combat if you are NOT in defense mode (in defense mode you cant attack enemy, you have to wait for them to attack you so you can counter attack), some guy said A.I. sucks coz it cant detect an Assassin in white clothes and sword....well i dont think it will be hard for UBI to put that it but how would you free roam? theres a guard in about every street so if he detects you ur screwed....kinda silly, stop nitpicking this game is great

In my opinion it's poo, I tried to like it. It's glitchy and the A.I is crap and the combat is such a joke, especially that this is the same team who has done POP. Garbage in my opinion and if you guys like it good for you.

And for the same reason Mass Effect got an 8.5, it's the guys personal oppinion. Coincidentally the same guy reveiwed both games, just a bone to throw out. But stil, his own opinion.
