it seems like all you do is go to the view point, save a few citizens, do some investigating and assassinate and then is repeated for the next target no change between missions.

Well it seems to work otherwise it wouldn't have done so well, yes?

If there are plans to bring a sequel into the picture, they should probably take heed on this :)

The assassinations dont really change much, but at the end it gets a bit more interesting as the story draws to a close.

By what stretch do you say Assassin's Creed did well? Monetarily, perhaps. But in the gaming community, AC is a supermodel: good looks and no substance.

A lot of the investigations you do give you intel on the best and most effiecient way to assassinate your target. It gives you paths, locations of guards, any possible threats as well as a background history on your target. I thought that was a good touch to make things more fluid and realistic.

AC has a good story if you actually listen to it and read all those intels so to say it's repetitive and put it down like that is really a loss on your part man. It's one of those games that take time to build up and just so you know the ending is unreal.

That's exactly how I played it and I got a lot of entertainment out of it. That's honestly how the game was meant to be played and if you don't do it that way, you're missing out on a lot and most likely you won't like the game. It's open world but with a linear story.

The actions themselves stay the same (pickpocket, viewpoints, save citizens, informant, beat up random guy), but with each memory it becomes increasingly harder. The game starts throwing more beggars at you to throw you off, or crazy/drunk guys that knock you into guards right as you ar about to pick someones pocket. The guards also get a lot smarter, so the whole counter-attack, counter-attack, counter-attack routine doesn't work as well. Not to mention that it is easy to get swarmed by guards very quickly.

I guess this was billed as an action/adventure game, but I would put it more in the "puzzle" category.

Yes the game does get repetitive, but it is the storyline and the enviroment that drove me right into loving this game. The features of the game are incredible and the story really should be enough to make you want to continue to beat it. There is so much to explore and the landscape is beautiful. In my opinion is was one of the best games of last year. Though some of the fighting does get repetitve and saving of the citizens and so forth. I'm sure if they make a squel they will add stuff to it.

Once you've played the first mission you've pretty much played 'em all, 6/10.

That is pretty much it as far as gameplay variety. AC is the only game that I regret buying. I would pay $30 for it but not $60 that I paid last fall.

The concept is cool, and it got this beautifully realised world, but there is just not much to do in it unfortunately. Most of main gameplay in AC would be just an extra missions/collectibles in other sandbox games (pigeons, races, stunt jumps, side misssions in GTA IV for instance) that I usually never bother finishing in these games in the first place.

Nope, it stays the same. You repeat the same things over and over and over. As much as I really really wanted to like it, the truth is that Assassin's Creed = crap.

It's reptitive, but the story telling was good enough to keep me going. And despite how reptitive it was I found it pretty fun regardless and I really enjoyed climbing on building and travelling parcore style...

I was hoping for something like the Prince of Persia trilogy when picking up this game. Not so much. I made it through the first assasination and got bored. I need to pick it up and start from the very beginning, I forgot what the story was about. I have it for the PS3 and it has a required install, at least on the 360 it doesn't have that.

It's a great game, but it's not for long sessions; just a little here and there.
