    Beautiful, detailed game. Authentic medieval feel. Great animations. Climbing tall structures gives genuine feeling of vertigo which never gets old. Repetitive and boring game play however which evolves little as game progresses. Annoying combat sequences. Little motivation to complete lengthy campaign beyond concluding the story. Excruciating game menu interface.

    I really tried to like this game and it does have some things going for it. It looks good, it has very open maps and the premise (being stealthy assassin) sounds great.

    Unfortunately this game is very repetitive. Basically every mission is exactly the same and every map has the same scripted things you need to do and can do. This gets old somewhere around third mission. I originally expected something more like Thief series. Optional side quests like "collect zillion flags around the map, to get nothing concrete" also don't help.

    It's also mind boggling why we need convoluted double plot. You see, all the assassin stuff actually happens inside this guy's head who is kidnapped by some organization in present time and placed inside machine that can play his "genetic memory". I really can't see any relevance or added value between this and the game's central idea of being medieval assassin. Granted that I didn't finish the game so I don't know if it starts to make sense at some point.

    All in all, the game is ok. Unfortunately, there are tons of better ways to spend your time than this game. It offers nothing exceptional or memorable.    … Expand

    An absolutely fascinating premise, a 'game within a game' dynamic that hasn't been exploited before. It's a stunningly realised Medieval world, and the first few missions are breathtaking. Hearing the characters speak, negotiating crowds, and running up walls and climbing is just pure joy.

It's a stunningly realised Medieval world, and the first few missions are breathtaking. Hearing the characters speak, negotiating crowds, and running up walls and climbing is just pure joy. The draw distance is good and I was worried that my PC wouldn't cope (ports of console games tend to be badly optimised). But my year-old MacBook Pro could play everything on max settings and it simply looks superb. But I'm only going to play halfway through this game because of what everyone else has been saying: the repetition, which is starting to pall. A real shame, because such a detailed and believable world deserves a more developed gameplay dynamic. And the main character Altair is simply arrogant and American (the American accent didn't exist in 1191AD, but of course it is Desmond being projected into that world as an avatar; but still, why make the protagonist cheesily American like every other action hero?). Definitely worth seeing and playing, but not worth 40.… Expand

The PC controls are beyond awful. Controls aside, this game had some good ideas for assassination but could have been executed much better. Every aspect in the game is repetitive. All three cities you explore look exactly the same. The AI citizens same the exact same things, perhaps in a different accent. The missions you do are indistinguishable from the other. Saving citizens, finding flags, chasing people down, everything you do in the game is pretty much restricted to those few actions. This wouldn't be so much of a problem if the story was good, but it's not. While getting to the end was intense, the long middle was just hunting down an evil person, killing them and viewing their cinematics, then repeat. You meet no indistinguishable characters and everything gets REALLY boring, REALLY fast. I can only think of one reason to recommend anyone to play Assassin's Creed, and that is to play Assassin's Creed II. While it's not mandatory to play it to understand AC2's backstory, it's nice to be less confused in the game. And believe me, AC2 fixes EVERYTHING from the first game, and adds so much more. Assassin's Creed II alone, makes the first game worth playing.… Expand

I bought it a week or so ago, and have had about 10 hours play time with it now, won't be long either, till it is completed, at least with regards to the main story line.

    The graphics, for 2008 are very good, but, ofcourse, compared to todays standards they're not really that great, at all. Especially the character models and animations can sometimes have me cringing in my shoes, but I'll survive. The scenery, and the "finish", the aesthetics, are wonderful, though. I like the "dirty" look/feel to the game graphically, and it conveys a proper sense of atmosphere to the time period. Textures could be bumped up, alot, though.

    Sound and VA works fine, but the lip synch is nothing special, at all. This generation has featured, even older games, with better synching than this. All in all though, it works, but its not getting a 10/10 based on sound, VA and synching though.

    Gameplay wise it is pretty repetitive, listen to this guy, do this guy's challenge, pickpocket that guy, beat up the third guy and boom you are set to assassinate someone who will give you another piece to the storyline. So far, for me, the story line does seem quite intriguing, which is, as far as I see it (in this day and age) the one reason to play this game now. Especially seeing as Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood and Revelations and the future Assassin's Creed III builds onto this storyline.

    Combat is a bit odd if I have to be honest. Yes you can hit someone with the sword, or stab someone with your hidden knife. If you are discovered, well, hold down right mouse button and stare at the screen until an enemy attacks you, then press left mouse button, and said enemy will either die or be out of combat for a while. You will be pretty much unkillable with right mouse button held, and left mouse button will kill people for you. It is rather simplistic, and would have worked fine, with a few more kill animations. There are quite a few, but you see them soooo often that they get tedious in the end. The first few times are very awesome though.

    Camera angling and control is horrible, it sometimes just does whatever the hell it wants to do and your sat wondering "wtf?" that is pretty much all there is to say to it.

    By 2008 standards it might have been an 8 or 9/10, by todays standards it would barely scrape a 7, but then again, for the money it costs these days, there are quite alot of fun to be had, and the story is pretty good. So 7/10 from me.    … Expand

Unfortunately, it seems there were some large growing pains with this first incarnation of the franchice. I have to agree with others who point out the repetitiveness of the missions once you get past the first three memories. The amount of time I have to spend synchronizing viewpoints and such just to unlock yet more-of-the-same types of missions is frankly exhausting. I can forgive the terrible combat controls and copy/paste generic NPC's everywhere, but if a game can't at least keep me entertained and wanting to see what happens next, it's just not worth it. Also worth noting is how wooden and unemotional Altair sounds throughout most of the game. The "animus translation" excuse just isn't sufficient for him to feel very out of place when compared to almost any of the other characters, whose performances are much more realistic. The modern-day exposition concerning Lucy and Abstergo is worth getting to hear, but not nearly good enough to save the rest of the game from being tedious and uninteresting. If you're a die-hard AC fan, you'll probably want it in your collection. Whether or not you'll be able to finish it is another question entirely.… Expand

    Gráficamente el juego resulta notable para su época, a pesar de que su edición de PC podría haber sido mejor. Sobre todo dejaban mucho que desear la calidad de las sombras, el AA (mejorable con herramientas externas) y la distancia de renderizado, sobre todo esta última resultaba bastante incómoda para un jugador de PC, nada acostumbrado a que las texturas carguen a cinco metros. Por lo demás el juego puede obtener un 7/10 en calidad gráfica.

    La banda sonora es sublime, ambientando completamente la inmersión en la época a experimentar.

    La jugabilidad es lo más pecaminoso de este juego, no valen excusas del tipo "es un juego de 2008". El juego es de lo más repetitivo que he podido jugar en mi vida, una vez completada la introducción, el juego comienza a repetirse una y otra vez, haciendo siempre lo mismo, solo que con personajes distintos y en un ambiente distinto. A pesar de que la fórmula del sigilo/asesinato resulta novedosa y divertida, cuando comienza a repetirse empiezas a odiarla. Además intentan meter un pequeño sistema de sandbox que por suerte puedes comenzar a saltarte más adelante, porque solo consigue aburrirte y agobiarte aún más. Hay un solo tipo de misión principal, que se va repitiendo, y tres tipos de misiones principales, que se van repitiendo también.

    La historia es lo que salva un poco al juego, es algo nuevo, usar la historia ya contada de la humanidad como herramienta narrativa, quien diría que un juego tipo documental histórico podría ser tan enganchante. Y aunque en este juego no lo veremos en su esplendor, el final nos garantiza que los juegos que vendrán, serán algo mágico.

    En definitiva, es un juego que deseas pasarte rápido para poder llegar al desenlace de la historia y disfrutar de lo único bueno que tiene este juego, su guión. Por suerte, algunos ejecutivos decidieron seguir adelante con el segundo juego, y dar pie a una de las mejores sagas de videojuegos que existen. Porque si por este juego fuera, nadie creería que podría venir lo que después vino, y que mirando a posteriori podemos ver.    … Expand

The story feels awkward, with no immersion everything you do in the game you do in the first coupe of hours.

    The game sometimes forgets weather you want to jump down or go up and bugs out on some of the simplest climbing movements. Some games didn't save properly, and some broken missions caused me to restart several times.

    Also 4 a Assassin game, no stealth is ever needed for the main missions whats up with that?

However I really enjoyed the freedom of movement and beautiful scenery. It's like you're a Middle Ages Batman! With time travel! I would've picked up the sequel on launch day if it wasn't for the overbearing DRM.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, I recently got assassins creed 3 as it was bundled with these new headphones I bought. It was probably one of the best games I had ever played. So I decided to play though from the start of the series and become a dedicated pc fan.

    The story was fairly good in my opinion, great character development with some twists and turns along the way. But the actual gameplay was realy a bad exeriance.

    The game is split into I think 7 total memory blocks, you must go through each one in order to finish the game, the problem is, They're all essentially the same. you talk to a guy, he tells you to do 3 missions before you can assassinate the main bad guy. You have to do this up to three times in each memory block and it really starts to get repetitive.

    Another major flaw with gameplay is the free running system, it's fairly nifty and is actually quite fun..... When it works. I find that I am constantly havering to climb th same wall again because the camera angle was slightly off and the character jumped off the wall only to lose half his health and be killed by the persuing Templars on the ground. The free running in this game was so bad that I found myself rage quitting often just because i couldn't synchronise the surroundings to continue with the game due to the consant falling or slow climbing.

    Some may not agree with the last paragraph, but i can assure my keyboard works perfectly fine with games such as bioshock, team fortress 2 and titanfall. Anyway, the last problem I had with the game is the map. it is really annoying to use as she you select to only see primary objectives, it then switches back to all objectives once you leave the menu, not only that. But in order to progress you must essentially write the entire map of the world on your own, and I'm pretty sure during the game you are given a map of the town you are in multiple times.

    I have played some of the later assassins creed games and they fixed a lot of these problems, but I'm really surprised the franchise has been this successful with this game being the one that started it. It truely was a pain to get through and I am never going to play it again, nor am I recommending to anybody I come across.

    Thank god it's over now, I can start playing assassin's creed 2. XD    … Expand

    This game is mediocore at most. The combat system is repetitive, and the assassinations are surprisingly linear. All that is fun to do is basically the free-running, and even that gets boring at sometime. I like the concept, but it is just too repetitive to be a good game.

    The story is good - EA did an awesome job doing historical research.
    However, the game play has the following pattern that does not change:
    Get Assignment, Kill soldiers, Assassinate Target. Next. Guess what - using a Knife!
    After third assignment - i uninstalled this game from my computer.

    Far to easy and repetitive. Every mission follows the same formula. Hardly any real stealth elements. Stupid AI and boring sword fights once you figure out how the system works. Ugly "sci fi" effects constantly flash across your screen making sure you don't get too immersed in the medieval world.

    The game looked very nice and the story was appealing. But the gameplay just wasn't for me. I think I just expected something else from the game. It seems smooth, made with a lot of care and perfectionism, but it just wasn't for me. I gave up after 5 or 6 hours.

Honestly, there is something wrong with games that don't allow you the option to skip dialogue sections, making you sit through painful dialogue at stiff pace. I dont want a cinematic experience - I want to enjoy a good game. This game is trying to be all story and production values at it hasn't got the basics right as a consequence. Graphics and sound are where it gets some points only because they are up to standard as expected. Models also look nice and relevant.

You can't "free play" and jump straight into a city from the beginning of the level, you must go from the palace, through Masayaf, get on your horse and ride to the gate to even get to a city. This is around 11 or 12 minutes before you even get to gameplay again!! I suppose this is ok the first round through because you haven't seen the cutscene yet, but after you've seen it once there should be an option to skip it and it's very stupid that there isn't one. The 10 minutes it takes to get to a city to play is a drop of 1 or 2 points by itself. It is very repetitive after you play it once through. The graphics are amazing on any system, and the crowd mechanics are cool. It's very immersive, especially the free running system. You can climb pretty much everything. However, the combat is much too easy and again, really repetitive. It's pretty much a timing game: a crowd of attackers attack one at a time (stupid) and you must guard and counterattack exactly when the guard hits. It's not very fun and doesn't make a lot of sense. Wouldn't the guards want to swarm and attack you rather than lining up for a go one by one? Wrapping up, this game is probably one of the most fun rentals you could ever get. You'll beat it in a few days and have a blast. Just do yourself a favor and don't buy it. It's great the first time through and monotonous any other time.… Expand

The architecture and scenery is spectacular, and walking around in it (or on horseback) you really get the feeling the place is living and breathing. Unfortuanately, that's where the fun ends. The gameplay is about as repetitive as a night with diarrhea. The cities you get to explore are divided up into rich/poor/middle districts, each opening up after a new level is completed. Within each one you are tasked with several side quests, which really don't further the story along any. The annoying part is, is that the quests are all the same in each district with a few minor differences. Boring. The developers could have created an epic game here, with some real immersement, but chose to go the easy route and dumb it down, I assume for the console crowd that it was originally marketed to. The story arc, which diverges into two paths, could have been neatly tied together by using interactive elements a la Elder Scrolls, to add some more realism - this could have been an excellent rpg, in addition to what it already is. Unfortunately now it's just another mediocre game admist many others. So sad. Game developers need to realize that to make something great, they need to reach new levels of inspired thinking and creativity. PC gamers have just about seen everything and done it all. Lame console ports just don't cut through the cheese.

    5) I played in Russian, and I believe that the localization in the game is decent. Good voice and the same menu.
    Disadvantages:
    1) The plot. Although the game has a good starting point and an interesting topic, the plot after a couple of initial missions becomes dull and monotonous. He does not develop. I guessed about the betrayal of one of the characters in the middle of the game. And this is not because I am the most brilliant person on the planet, but because the plot does not try to hide the fact of betrayal.
    2) Characters. It's all very ambiguous. Although the main character has a certain charisma and logic of actions, to many he may seem impersonal. It is difficult for a player to associate himself with a hero whom he cannot understand, and Altair is a very individual person who is alien to human attachments and who has original and too moral views on life. Antagonists are also not special. They are shown only from one unpleasant side. If in Assassin’s Creed 3 the goals of the Templars were noble, and the methods for achieving these goals were quite cruel, then in the first Assassin’s Creed the Templars are bad, simply because they are evil. It’s too early to talk about Desmond, since he was almost never revealed as a person or character.
    3) Although the game is trying to tell us that the best option for passing is stealth, but it is not implemented very well, and I personally could not kill the target quietly and without noise.    … Expand

    Pretty bare-bones Assassin's Creed experience, but fun nonetheless. The parkour mechanics are still good and although the story is repetitive, it has a great ending and provides an excellent start to the Assassin's Creed storyline.

    Assassin's Creed "1" was a new IP from ubisoft that started out wrong, its story, soundtrack and setting are very good as in most games in the saga, however the game is criticized harshly and correctly for the repetition of its gameplay, in all chapters practically the same thing to be done.

Assassin's Creed "1" I recommend to anyone who wants to have a complete understanding of the history of the saga, or who wants to start, but keeping in mind the limitations of the time and that Ubisoft didn't quite know how to make this type of game work well. It is not a totally good game, but it is not totally bad.… Expand

    I played the first Assassin's Creed more than ten year ago. I remember that it was a boring game, strange mechanics, non-engaging story. I had luck because I insisted in the others series. Definitely, the first A.C. was the worst of all.

    I fell in love with Assassin's Creed. But it must be said that only the second part. Despite that, I liked number one. The first part of AC from 2007 (on PC to 2008) will captivate at first glance with graphics. In my opinion, it is quite decent for a time. But what immediately stops you is actually the plot.

The first part of AC from 2007 (on PC to 2008) will captivate at first glance with graphics. In my opinion, it is quite decent for a time. But what immediately stops you is actually the plot. You get to know Anima from the very beginning and you don't even know what's going on. You play for Desmond, more precisely for Altair, because the game is about assassins, although we look at the present here several times. But now to the assassins. The main character Altair (I won't spoiler and how it all turns out) gets a task to find and kill several people after a few hours of playing. And here is the biggest stumbling block. The game has been story so far, but from the moment you visit Damascus (by the way, a really epic moment of the game) the game starts to be about the same thing. Come to a city, complete a few tasks and kill the person. Repetitive. Lifeless. At least for me. If we get something in the game, I don't mind, but we don't get any items here, or game currency or something that would motivate me to continue playing. So what drove me the most was the atmosphere of the cities, the graphics and the soundtrack, which gave each city a unique charm. But in the end, I have to say I was really staring. As if the game kept its best until the end. I don't want to hypothesize you, but the end will just start to be story again and we will even see an unexpected, at least for me, an unexpected turnaround. So, to bring it all together. Assassin's Creed 1 is a good game with very good graphics at the time, a luxurious soundtrack and a wonderful environment. Unfortunately, the story is not much here except for the beginning and the end. I passed the game only because I am a fan of the series and I wanted to have it complete. Despite the fact that this is a repetitive affair, in my opinion it is a good game, which I recommend but especially to fans of the series. This is probably my hardest decision whether to give the game 6 or 7. In the end, I leaned towards the better and take it as a pilot. So for me, a good game that I recommend.… Expand

    Well the game it self is rather mediocre but I liked the idea and expected more from the sequel. Gameplay is very repetitive: you get mission > go to the city > speak with NPC X and go to highest points to discover part of the map.

    Открытый мир-А вот тут у игры проблемы,сейчас обьясню. Миссии- к сожалению перед тем как выполнить сюжетная задание нужно выполнить определенное условие,Миссии курьера-в одном слове скукота.Далее в игре есть синхронизация точек,так в игре есть собирательство флажков,и да наверно выпомните игры где нужна закрасить графити или найти кости динозавров так вот забудьте потому что Первый Асасинсрид хардкор потому что в игре нужна собрать 420 флажков да и при этом ты не получишь никакой награды,даже арбалета не будет.

    Музыка-в игре она довольна хороша,даже не смотря ни на что она серьезна,хотя это наоборот дает атмосферу тех лет.

    Короче первый Assassins creed имеет потенциал но к сожелению походу Юбисофт не удалось реализовать хорошо свои идеи поэтому вот такой не совсем удачный эксперимент получился. МОЯ оценка 5/10 и как по мне это достойна для такого первого эксперимента.    … Expand

    Oh man this game has not aged well. The missions are all repetitive, The three cities that you get to explore all feel relatively the same. The only good thing that I can say about this game is that the parkour is done quite well.

    Assassins Creed, по моему мнению, является переоценённой игрой. Сюжет очень прост: нам надо убить 9 целей. Но детали этого сюжета интересны, например информация о цели или файлы из компьютеров Абстерго, которые раскрывают лор. Геймплей очень репетативен.

Единственным интересным являются миссии по убийству целей, которые отлично поставлены, но не всё так просто. Для того чтобы убить цель надо узнать больше информации о ней из мини-миссий. Они повторяются десятки раз и сами по себе просты: убить кого-то, обокрасть, передать что-то, подслушать и т.д. В конце игры они сильно утомляют. Также можно спасать горожан от стражников, но боёвка в первом ассасине слишком реалистичная и долгая. Да и сами противники к концу игры нападают на героя просто так. Потому боёвка тоже надоедает. Можно взбираться на точки синхронизации, и это не так скучно как остальное, в первую очередь из-за паркура и красивейших видов. И самое тупое собирательство в играх - флаги. В игре их аж 420! И за их сбор не дают ничего. Но не скажешь что мир пуст, ведь на улицах много народу и сам дизайн городов отличен. Ассасин предоставил революционный геймплей. Ты может забраться на любое здание и заниматься детальным паркуром с замечательными анимациями. Это первая игра, которая дала такие возможности. Графика отличная, не дать, не взять. Музыка от Йеспера Кида хороша, но мне кажется слишком серьёзная.
    Игра хороша в графике, дизайне мира, музыке, деталях сюжета и той же графики. Геймплей сам по себе революционен, но репетативен. Сюжет так-же не лучший. У разработчиков было 4 года на разработку и они могли сделать игру куда лучше. Это далеко не лучшая часть в серии и не тянет на высокую оценку. Но её стоит ценить хотя бы за вклад в игровую индустрию.

    Playing as gaming's most agile character is joyous, which outweighs the lengthy cutscenes and disappointing final hour. [Apr 2008, p.38]

    Assassin’s Creed for the PC is a pretty compelling action game that benefits from huge environments and an interesting story. While the main campaign can get a bit repetitive, the new Director’s Cut features add some nice variety.

    What you're left with is a repetitive side-quest requirement for completing each primary mission, though the issue is alleviated somewhat with the PC version's additional content.
