    This is a mediocre game at best, sure it was the first installment in the series and it featured some nice parkour gameplay for the time but that doesn´t excuse the lack of variety in the missions.
    Every mission in this game is basically a copy paste from the other, you'll be doing the same boring tasks over and over with little variation, and don´t even get me started on the side missions.
    The graphics weren't bad for the time though, and the soundtrack is also pretty good, other than that this game has little redeemable qualities.
    I would skip this one if you're new to the series, or at least play II or IV before this one (this game badly represents what the series is all about).

    Больше похоже на экономное техно-демо от Ubisoft, чем полноценная игра. Досаждающее однообразие сильно отталкивает.

    This game is good. Graphics is fine, gameplay is still interesting, but is boring when you play more then 2 hours in one session.

    Ну ця гра - однозначно прорив свого часу. Вона зробила дуже багато для індустрії, задавши моду на багато років, але зараз я б її грати не став так, як вона неймовірно нудна та самоповторна.

    2. Геймплей. Прекрасная система паркура, она действительно удивляла на момент выхода. Но в самой игре больше делать и нечего. Боевая система ничтожна показушная фигня, в которой ты 90% времени стоишь и мнёшь воздух ладошками пытаясь перехватить чужой меч(В режиме рукопашного боя игру пройти проще всего) Задачи которые ставит перед вами игра , могут быть полностью проигнорированны , если конечно не заскриптованы что бы вы стояли и смотрели как кто-то уходит с тупым лицом будто бы вы не могли кинуть ему кинжал в спину, с учётом геймплейной состовляющей.
    3. Сценарий. Есть дед , который как сборник цытат умничает пол игры , а потом оказывается главным дегенератом с тупой жаждой власти.
    Итог. Хорошая технодемка, но уж точно не полноценная игра.    … Expand

    One of the worst Assassin's creed games ever.

    This port to the pc is so insanely bad i don't know where to start. Lets just get the good out of the way. For a game released in 2008 it looks great and still holds up to today's games, also it has a story if you're interested in the Assassin's creed story. And that's about it for the good. Now the bad. The bugs, all 10 million of them.    One of the worst Assassin's creed games ever.

    Now the bad. The bugs, all 10 million of them. Like when you're running from a enemy and you run too close to a bench or ladder or anything it goes into that animation and screws you, and this happens all the time. Climbing, the main mechanic, is so bad it gets extremely frustrating at times to where your smashing your head against a way wondering why he can make a 1 foot climb without moving to the side a inch. Also leaping over a 1 foot gap he often misses and sends you falling to your death. Mix in with enemies clipping though the ground, making ear squealing audio glitches, the fact that the controller support is for what seems to be a super Nintendo controller, and you character constantly not going where you want makes this game a absolute pain to play.

    If you don't care about the story just move on from this game, it's so bad you might as well start from Assassin's creed 2 to get some of that polish. Extremely bad game, not worth the time. Highly Recommend avoiding or if you do buy it get it on sale for $5 because it's not worth the $20 it goes for.    … Expand

    Начну с того, что это худшая часть серии. 3 главы с ОДИНАКОВЫМ геймплеем. Есть один плюс, неплохое начало. Нас лишают всех умений за проступок. Сюжет говна, вообщем, ради колекции норм, но в другом случае игра не стоит внимания.Начну с того, что это худшая часть серии. 3 главы с ОДИНАКОВЫМ геймплеем. Есть один плюс, неплохое начало.

    Esse jogo tem muitos problemas. História confusa, repetitivo demais, e bugs insanos que te enchem de ódio. A única coisa que salva, é a inovação, primeira vez de um parkour mais livre, diferentemente do que existe na excelente saga Prince of Persia, seu “antecessor espiritural”.

Let me start with the positives. I liked the setting of the game, the story and the graphics. But these are not all the components with which you build a great game. You know what else is missing? Everything. Want a good, fun gameplay? Well, you won't find it here, so get yourself another game. Why is our character so slow? Is this running? I run faster when I need to buy razors, so I can cut myself instead of playing this. Our assassin is slow and the moments in the present time are even worse. Desmond is so slow, that snails make fun of him. Also was there even music in this game? I don't know, because it was so boring and repetitive that I forgot. You know what else sucks? All the other stuff, that is not the main quest. Missions are awful and repetitive. This game is awful and repetitive. This review is awful and repetitive, because I don't even want to write this. Every time I think about this game, it hurts my brain. Also, what's wrong with riding a horse and getting attacked by the troops all the time? Is this a joke? I don't understand how such a s*** game got a sequel. Why did this get a sequel? There are hundreds of better games deserving a sequel and yet this abomination and wretched filth got one. I'm done talking about this. Don't play this game. It gets 2 points, because I like Jerusalem and the time period. Everything else is awful here. Pickens out.… Expand

    Right now it's already a classic. I finished it three times and for sure I'll come back to it in the future. Yes, after 12 years some mechanics got old and gamers who already played in other games from Assassin's Creed franchise may not like it, but it's one of the must play. Still very good graphic, atmosphere, soundtrack and great story.
    And Nolan North as Desmond Miles, as always great.

    Advantages:
    1) Graphics. The graphics in this game are pretty nice, albeit a bit dull. Yes, this is not Crysis, but this game is also much better optimized.
    2) AI. Although the Nobel Prize NPCs do not deserve, but you can not call them idiots. This applies to both the guards and the civilian population. 3) I played the keyboard with the mouse and I was pretty comfortable. 4)    Advantages:

    3) I played the keyboard with the mouse and I was pretty comfortable.
    4) Atmospheric. I believe that the atmosphere of that time is well conveyed, which helps the player to better immerse themselves in the game.
    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

    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.
