    I might give Assassin's Creed a pretty high rating for his very first installment, as I would start with an 8/10. Yes, the game aged quite poorly when it comes to gameplay mechanics, mainly because the following games surpassed it by far on that point. Yes, the missions were quite repetitive. And yes, it could be finished in a few hours only.

And yes, it could be finished in a few hours only.

    But damn... for a first installment of a long-running franchise, AC done so many great things, and checked so many boxes. An original story between past and present, great characters, incredible settings and cities, the lore, the atmosphere, the hero (or anti-hero ?), the music, and... the graphics ?! My god, for 2007, this game was so beautiful.

    A great introduction to the saga, with its flaws, sure, but a great first game nevertheless. I still enjoy it to this day, even though its direct sequel was even better.    … Expand

    The first entry in the long running Assassin's Creed franchise may get overshadowed by it's expansive sequels. However, AC stands as a corner stone in the open world action genre. Dreamlike and atmospheric unlike any other in the series.

    It is a great title for which you can get lost in its cities, explore every corner, collect collectibles, etc. but the missions are very repetitive, going from point A to point B to point C and then back to point A.

    But for the rest it is a good game 8/10

    This is the first game of a fantastic saga too bad is aged very bad but for me its still enjoyable and worth to play.

    The gameplay is a little unpolished compared to the sequel. But the highly original setting and plot make up for it.

    Hay algo que este juego hizo pese a ser el más simple y corto de la saga: marcar el futuro de los videojuegos.

    Spectacular storytelling, inovative gameplay and an awesome world design. In many aspects ahead of its time but with the weakness of very repetative tasks. Altair was and is still an awesome character and at least you knew why you kill your enemies.

    assassins creed was a revolutionary game during its time and even though it doesn't hold up to today standers it was a good game on its time

    the story was good specialty the ending of the game, the kill cam was also good as it showed you counter an enemy soldier and see what happened to them, however, repeated missions bogged the game down and made it hard to play

    The open world setting is great for a 2007 game. The location is beautiful. Good graphics for that age. The mechanics are good. The story is short and simple but still good. A good beginning for a great series.

    Assassin's Creed is the only stealth open world that started the Assassin v Templar movement in open-world games by telling a piece of history we did not know about and it delivered.

    This game is "limited by technology of its time", its not best looking anymore. But the story is awesome.
    I loved the mechanics in this game. That mission where you have to fight whole army of templars was hard as hell (i liked it).

    The game is all-around fun to play. It's one of those games I can go back to at any time and start a new game and feel the same feeling I did when first playing it. I never get bored with it.

    Though gameplay is repetitive, with the assassination missions always requiring you to gather information by doing the exact same 5 sub-mission types for each target, and each new city you visit having you climb up to viewpoints to reveal the map and said sub-missions, the game's story is what holds it together. It presents itself so well that the game never really feels repetitive to me. Every single mission feels like I'm actually accomplishing a mission, and each actual assassination mission is unique and interesting, providing multiple ways to close in on your target and take them out. The only thing I wish is that there was the air assassination technique introduced in 2, though to be fair it would absolutely trivialize a lot of missions, and despite not having that particular ability, moving in through a dense crowd or following your target from the rooftops to swoop in and strike with surgical precision is as satisfying as the Assassin's Creed series has ever been.

    On top of that, the future narrative was the best in this game than it ever has been, and while it was new, it was interesting and mysterious. Too bad it got dragged through the mud for 5 games with Desmond McBlanderton, the blandest character in recent video game history.

    Despite its shortcomings, being a brand new IP, I'm not holding too much against it, and the game is so well presented and interesting that I don't even care about the repetitiveness of its mission structure. The story and the assassination missions are beautifully done, and that's what makes this game my favorite Assassin's Creed title next to its sequel.    … Expand

    Desmond is captured by Abstergo and forced to use a machine called the Animus to explore Altaïr ibn-La'Ahad's memories during the time of the Third Crusade. Desmond begins to witness events after Altaïr breaks all three tenets of the Assassin Brotherhood while attempting to stop Robert de Sablé from taking a Piece of Eden. Al Mualim, the Brotherhood's leader, demotes Altaïr to Novice and tasks him with assassinating the nine Knights Templars, including de Sablé, to regain his former status. Altaïr's quest eventually leads him to face de Sablé in the presence of King Richard I of England warning the King of de Sablé's plot to kill him. Altaïr defeats de Sablé, but with his last words, de Sablé reveals that there were ten Templars, the last being Al Mualim, who now holds the Piece of Eden. Altaïr returns to face Al Mualim, struggling to fight through the illusions created by the Piece, but eventually kills Al Mualim. When Altaïr recovers the piece, he—and those watching the Animus—witness a holographic map showing locations across the globe where other artifacts are located. Desmond is pulled from the Animus, and was going to be killed, but his life is spared by Lucy Stillman, an Assassin working as a mole within Abstergo, as she claims they might need to further examine his memories later. He comes to learn that a former test subject had left messages only Desmond can see, foretelling of the end of the world in 2012.

    The first Assassin's Creed introduced elements that would remain cornerstones of the rest of the series. The game attempts to create historical versions of Masyaf (the Brotherhood's location), Jerusalem, Acre and Damascus, and incorporates a number of documented historical figures into the story. The virtualized Animus system, free running, climbing, stealth, and parkour elements were all present in this title, as well as the initial formulation of the combat system. The player would have to complete a number of side quests before they would be able to obtain an assassin quest from a local Brotherhood guidemaster in each city, though future games would abandon this prerequisite

Some of the assassinations DID get old because they seemed to be the same thing over and over.

    Its stunning visual style, high concept story, and wildly open level design are like nothing else, even if too much repetition begins to frustrate in the later hours. It’s a game people will still be talking about five years from now.

    It attempts a lot of ambitious things and it almost succeeds at every one. But it's apparent that these grandiose ideas may have been a little too much to master the first go-round. But hey, at least the groundwork is laid for a killer sequel -- right, Ubisoft?
