Assassin's Creed opinions? Worth Getting?

Im getting a 360 for christmas, and liked the look of Assassin's Creed, Just wondering what you guys think of the game. Is it worth getting? and how long will it take to complete?, i dont want to get a game that will be over in a matter of hours!

Opinions are greatly appreciated

Thanks.

It's not worth getting. It's worth a rent. The game can be beat in about 14 hours I would say if you just play it to beat it. Do all the side missions, collect the flags, and you are around 40 hours. It's repetitive though and has no replay value. The story is good, imo. The ending is said to be disappointing. I thought it was fine.

With that bing said, buy it anyway. OXM claims that due to Assassin's Creed and the success it had, EA was unable to acquire Ubisoft. Ubisoft must not be acquired by EA and if purchasing Assassin's Creed prolongs that ever happening then it's worth the cost.

I think you should get it. I've had it since the 3rd and im still playing it although i have finished it. It can be repetative but i enjoy what i do in the game so it doesn't bother me.:P Seems to bother others tho :|

Amen man, I was unaware that EA was trying to purchase Ubi, looks like I will be getting AC for christmas. I have nothing against EA, some of their games are hit, and some are miss, but Ubi makes the Tom Clancy games which are absolutely amazing and I would hate for EA to ruin the formula. -ACE

I'd recommend picking it up, however, it definitely should not be one of your first games.Temptation53

I agree with that. I haven't played it yet, but have been watching the game for a long time and it doesn't look like it would be good for a first game, but looks awesome for a third or fourth game (after you've got some longer games like Mass Effect).
