I'm surprised at the disparity between different reviews. Especially between Gamespot (9.0) and IGN (7.7). While after playing only a little bit of the game so far, I can agree with some of the negatives that IGN pointed out, but it's been really fun for me so far and such a beautiful looking game.
Reading the review at IGN, it seems that they point out every potential flaw, without thinking about what makes the game so compelling. They give it a decent score, admitting that it was not a failure, but they fail to mention any of the amazingly good elemnents in the game.
Once i get a positive number in the bank, i can't wait to pick this up.... if Mass Effect wasn't coming out so soon and didn't suck 80 bucks from me (LE version + shipping), then i would be happy playing this now.
I've got about 3 hrs into it and I am loving it, started off slow in my opinion but once i got to the first big village/city Massuasa or whatever it picked up. So fun running across the rooftops. I normally hate pointless side quests like 'save the citizens' in other games, like spiderman 3, but its fun in this game. The look out points are also fun to get. Im still getting used to the controls, but I really like this game.
Can someone explain the "Diciple of the creed" achievement for me? It says to assassinate an enemy like a true assassian, but i dont know what to do to get it. Anyone that has it, thanks for the help!
got a quick question....now it says for the one achievement pick pocket 200 throwing knives....what ppl can I steal these from....do i have to get to a certain part of the game first? anyone?
The thing I love about this game is that its so historically acurate, it makes you think youre there. The fighting and movement is very fluid and its easy to use. Free running is fantastic, sets a new stardard for travel in games.

You'll get those back after you kill enough main guys and the guys you steal them from are people who usually have hoods on and have bags around their backs. Just focus on them, follow them, and hold B to take the knives, though watch out because sometimes they turn around and theyll actually get in a fist fight with you and the guards wont interfere.

You have to do it with one of the 9 main assassinations. Follow the guys around, I did it with the doctor, and go to your hidden blame in your palm (press up on d pad) and I followed him around for a few minutes and got his rutine (Spelling?) down and when he walked back from a patient I walked a little past him and pressed X and assassinated him. It shows a cutscene after every assassination so after you do it you better bolt from it right after the cutscene because the guards will be right on top of you. It helps to go into the part of town and get the birds eye view of places and help the people so if youre being chased they'll interfere so you can get away afterwords. Hope I helped you

It's also worth noting to try and do this with one of the early assassinations. I'm on the 7th one now, and because I left it so late it's really difficult to manage a stealth kill. Grr!
Can you just go around killing everyone? Just wondering (and I'm pretty certain the answer will be no). But if not who can you kill, besides the main guys, is it just guards?
you can kill pretty much everyone, i accidently assasinated a citizen when i first started playing,killing innocent people takes away from your "health bar" though

You can technically go around killing everyone... Although if you kill too many innocents, the game will end and you'll have to start again. It's also worth noting that constant hack 'n' slashing won't do you much good in the long term. It's often much quicker to sneak around undetected, and if you ARE detected, to go look for a hiding place. Constant battles also increases your chance of death. Templars in particular can be tricky. Whenever possible, go stealth!
I've been playing AC for 2 nights now and think it is incredible. It deserves the 9.0 score. It's a game you won't forget for a long time, and the replay value is enormous.
Another question.....the one achievement require you to see 85% of all memory glitches...how do i know when and where there are memory glitches...I know its during dialogue but how do u notice them?
you can notice a memory glitch when Altiar is speaking to an NPC. You'll see the screen kinda glow and DNA coding will flash at the corners of the screen, when this happens press any button to change camera angles.
sweet game. just killed first 3 targets and im back in damascus looking for someone but nothing ever shows up on the compass. anyone have this problem?
and before anyone says this yes i have checked all view points and still no directions towards informants or pick pocketing ever shows up. i was pretty baked at the time too so i could have missed some important info that isnt showing up on the objectives screen.

Just go into the rich district and look for birds eye view points and side missions and that will help you. You may need to go to the assassination bureau though, but I think you can just go into the Rich District now.

Shade- Blade, the the Assassin's Creed topic thread below which got locked, you said there were 'side assassinations'. What exactly are you talking about, I haven't read anything about those?

yeah I asked the same thing on that topic but it got locked. where can you find them (shade-blade)?
The side assassinations are 60 templars. You dont need to talk to anyone to get them but you just find them and kill themShade-Blade
Oh, I guess I misunderstood what you said on the other topic. I thought you said you got 4 out of 5 of the side mission assassionations. My bad. I think ive got maybe 10 or something. great game btw
am i almost half way threw the game if i'm on my fourth assassination... i've spent a good ten to fifteen hours already in this game randomly killing guards and collecting flags..
Hey guys, I'm sure it's been said on here that Fry's has AC for $39 bucks but I missed out on what they had in stock. FYI Best Buy does price matching so I printed out an ad from online that advertised that promo, only problem it was a Dallas ad. I cut off the top where it mentioned Dallas and brought it in to the best buy by me (chicago suburbs) and bought 1 for me and another for my buddy! The managers were sketchy but they had to honor it. Sweet! Hope someone here can take advantage of it too!

Man, I wish they'd match the price here in Denmark too. :(
Um, about the Templars..........are those the guys in the steel helms? i want to kill them but i keep finding them on accident. any advice for hunting them down?

whoops never mind :)
ALL SO, you know how everyone complains about his voice.....you know, the main guys because it dosent fit with the time line? well i feel that they did right because i think of it as like his voice carrys over into the simulation thing when he is alteir, you know what i mean? since desmond(hope i spelled it right) is pretty much controlling alteir, its kinda fitting for him to have the same voice.. i dont know, just my opinion, so do you guys dislike his voice as alteir or like?
i am thinking about getting this game today, and i have to ask, is it worth it??? i mean i know i am probably going to get biased answers, but honestly, is it really a good game??
Yo, to be honest, it all depends on what type of games you like to play, if you loved the Prince of Persia series then give it a try, but for one individuals opinion.......i love this game, and not just for the pretty graphics......
