UBISOFT Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360) for Xbox 360 Review

"This game will be sweet, you are set in ancient times and are an assassin that can do anything, climb, crawl, kill and much more. The depth in this game is amazing, all of the sub missions are great to beat this game thoughly it will take the average gamer quite awhile, and even longer for the achievement crazies. With the huge gaming world, the solid game play, great graphics, depth of the game play, and the general idea...an ancient assassin this game promises to deliver. Its a must have for any gamer that is looking for a challenging game that isn't over in 10 hours.

When you first start the game, you'll start wondering what the heck is going on. You'll soon find out there is a dual storyline in this game of present and past. You get to control "Altair" (the name of the ancestor/assassin) and go off in little investigations which lead to assassination assignments. The environment is stunning. The A.I. of the populace is great too. There are town drunks and beggars that can really blow your cover when you're trying to do stealth kills. There are choppy transitions. The details of the environment is so stunning in this game that I think that it's too much for the Xbox 360's processors to process without a little choppiness on the visual end. The character is so agile and can climb up almost anything and jump from rooftop to rooftop, you'd swear that the only thing missing for the main player/character is webslinging abilities and a Spiderman suit! For all the hype that surrounded this game, I am a bit disappointed. You are limited in the weapons you can use and it IS possible to just run and gun your assassination assignments rather than go stealth all the time. It makes the game more difficult when you do this, but moving in stealth mode (blend) from location to location or from assassination to assassination all the time can wear on a player's patience. Overall, great game, but I've seen other games put the Xbox 360 to better potential than what the hype states this game does."
