I can't completely agree with you on all your points. But I will agree, if enemy soldiers attacked simultaneously, it would make for more of a rush.

Uh, welcome to life.

That said, AC is still one of the better games of the year, if only for being relentlessly ambitious. I'm sure it's fun as hell, too.

The combat system wouldn't work at all in that case. They had to sacrifice a little realism for it.

They would just increase the frequency of the enemy attacks. I think that would be a good thing.

Precisely. Almost all trailers look good for games but the more experience you have playing similar genres and the more you investigate the game(gameplay vids, previews etc.) the better you get at judging these trailers.

I completely agee with the OP on this. When I first saw this game i thought it looked awesome, but the more they showed of it, the more I grew to dislike it. My friends all say I'm crazy and don't know what I am talking about because I think the game looks bad. I think it may score a little bit high purely because of the hype though, although i guess Lair can prove that one wrong. Its too bad, it was a game with a lot of potential.

From what I hear, it's getting very big mixed reviews. There are two camps over at EGM on this game, ones that love it ,and other than don't. I'll give it a rent.

Because 9.1 is a bad score? Seriosuoly if the game had that many negatives why would it still get 9.1? Because it's still an amazing game despite it's flaws.

I love stealth, I love assassins, so I'm pleased as punch to be getting this game today. I made an ALtair like character in Oblivion when it came out, so this is really a game I can't wait to play. Bring it on.

Makes me think of two movies that I saw when I was younger.

Kangaroo Jack, and Snow Dogs.

Both movies contained a dream sequence where the kangaroo or the dogs respectively were talking.

So obviously 90% of the trailers for both movies came from part of these dream sequences.

It's a real pain when advertising only shows the best side of a game. Still, I'll reserve judgement until I see more of it.

It was a few weeks ago that it dawned on me that this might not be as good as it looks.

I mean, I love sandbox games. I love being able to go anywhere and even mess around if I want. But like with GTA, I think I might get bored with this. Though the mission details may vary, the missions are the same. Once you'ce done a coupe, you've done them all.

We'll see. This will be a definite rental for me until I see otherwise.

I'm pleased with how Assassin's Creed looks, to be very frank with you all. One of the most exciting aspects is the ability to climb, and honestly, the animations best what I've seen out of Uncharted so far. No awkward transitions FTW.

You were YOUNG when those came out? Whoa. I feel old.

And yeah false advertising to the max.

But Assassins Creed did nothing like that. Unless you count the twist in the story...but that doesn't negate what you do in the game. The fact that it may be repetative well...whose going to advertise that?

I watched the first 10 minutes. I've seen the gameplay videos. Based on what I've seen, the animations in Assassin's Creed best that of what Uncharted has shown me. The cinematic elements in Uncharted do look spectacular, I will agree with you there. But the gunplay and fighting looks a little weak. Just my opinion. But keep in mind, I'd rather play as a stealth assassin than an up-start Indiana Jones wannabe :P

Yeah but Drakes got a good sense of humor. Altair takes life too seriously.

I'm a tad dissapointed as well. I mean the AI reactions to the blend in situations and finding "suspects" is just dumb. Brings me back to the early days of stealth: Huh? Who did that? *a guy sitting 2cm infront of you* Must be my imagination.

It killed the game in some ways for me...which I dispise since I really reeally wanted this game to live up to it's potential. I knew they should have delayed it a bit further to tweak those things.

If you are purchasing COD 4 for the multiplayer experience, then I suggest you buy it because the game if fun online and will last longer. If you are not going online, then don't waist your money because the single player experience is "underwhelming" to say the least.

Assassins Creed will give you more mileage and its probably more enjoyable as a single player experience. However, based on general consensus, I would pick Mass Effect over Assassin's Creed. For me, Assassin's Creed is nothing more than a rental and I'll finish it in a week.

You found COD4's singleplayer underwhelming? SHort, maybe, but underwhelming? I couldn't disagree more... best singleplayer in a War themed game I've ever seen. THe C-130 gunship part is amazing, and the sniper level is one of the best times I've had as a gamer in recent memory. I give the singleplayer a 9.5

If you get bored, couldn't you just start killing citizens? In Oblivion you could, but guards would never stop chasing you so it was pointless. In AC, You at least have a chance to get away, and can lead them on a wild chase while doing so.

The story sucks, the controls have some issues, the combat gets repetitive, the AI sucks. Basically the game is a flop
