    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.

    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.

    STORY: 9
    VISUALS: 8.5
    MUSIC: 8

    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

    Assassin's Creed 1 surprises players with a twist ending that unveils the hidden layers of the modern-day Templar-Assassin conflict, a revelation that was brilliantly kept under wraps and unannounced in the trailers.

The game's setting, set in the historical cities of the Holy Land, creates a rich and immersive backdrop for the philosophical clashes between the Templars and Assassins, adding depth and intrigue to the narrative. The atmospheric score by Jasper Kyd further enhances the experience, immersing players in the ancient world. However, the gameplay can feel clunky and repetitive at times, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. Nevertheless, Assassin's Creed 1's ambitious storytelling and thought-provoking themes make it a noteworthy entry in the series, setting the stage for the franchise's future success.… Expand

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

    como é o primeiro jogo da série, não dá pra esperar a mesma coisa que os jogos mais recentes da série. o jogo envelheceu mal e merecia um remake com as engines atuais dos jogos mais recentes. no geral é uma boa história sobre a irmandade.

    This game is ass. Its dull repetative and boring and i couldnt even bring myself to finish it. The entire game consists of the same 4 activities and same 3 cutscenes over and over and over with 0 variation. The voice acting is so dull you wont pay attention to anything other than the modern day parts, and the cutscenes feel like they dont progress anything and are just wasting your time.This game is ass.

The game graphically has aged amazingly but they ruin it by puttiing terrible colour filters over everything to hide the fact that everything looks the same. The cities are the exact same just with different colour filters. The stealth is terrible and boring, all you do is get caught, run and break line of site, and go to one of the 3 types of hiding places and wait for them to forget about you, it is nothing more than that. The combat is terrible too, its button mashy as hell and the only other method is waiting for them to attack you and pressing one button to kill them. This game is terrible.… Expand

    Very boring, awful controls, and the final battle is some of the worst gameplay I have ever experienced. It's great to see the improvements made to subsequent Assassin's Creed games, but I recommend skipping this one entirely.

    Lo bueno: al ser    sinopsis: Primer juego de la saga en donde encarnaremos en Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad y a su vez en el inicio de la aventura de Desmond Miles a lo largo de el siglo XII durante la época de las grandes cruzadas en la tierra santa con elementos de sigilo que destacan mucho mas que los de pelea y una historia aunque un poco repetitiva memorable y con uno que otro giro en su trama.

    Lo bueno: al ser el primero no trajo muchas cosas mas que sentar las bases para lo que serian sus secuelas e iniciar la historia y su sistema de parkour que se usa hasta entonces.

    Lo malo: lamentablemente no es un juego que se acerque ni un poco a la perfección ya que solo hay 5 misiones diferentes aproximadamente que se repetirán hasta que se acabe el juego y ademas el sistema de combate se centra en luchar con un enemigo a la vez y al lograr un asesinato entra en una cinemática de las dos o tres que hay por cada arma de las cuales solo hay 4 (dos de ellas es el a puño limpio y los cuchillos lanzadisos los cuales no cuentan al solo noquear y asesinar a distancia respectivamente) por lo que solo se puede usar la espada larga y las dos chicas cosa que se arreglaria en entregas posteriores.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nada es verdad todo está permitido, es la frase principal de este juego, que refleja como es el credo de los asesinos y sus normas, la historia enrealidad se ambienta en el año 2012 donde secuestran a un camarero bar tender llamado Desmond Miles, los miembros de industrias Abstergo, pera meterlo en una maquina futurista llamada el: Animus, que es una maquina que sirve para ver los recuerdo en el ADN de nuestro antepasados, y Desmond ve los recuerdos de su antepasado en la Edad Media en las Cruzadas, de Altair Ib'n La'Ahad, un asesino de alto rango que es degradado de su rango por el maestro de la orden: Al'Mualim por romper las tres normas del Credo las cuales son: No matar Inocentes, Ser siempre discreto y No comprometer a la hermandad; y tras esto Altair debera recuperar su rango y honor matando a 9 objetivos los cuales son: Tamir: un traficante de armas del soco de Damasco, Garniet de'Naploux: líder Pedagogo de un manicomio en Acre, Talal: un esclavista de Jerusalén, Abul Nu'qud:un Gordo Ricachon Jefe mercader de Damasco, Guillermo de Mountferrat: un soldado Político de Acre, Mayaddin: Un juez verdugo que daba sentencia de muerte al que le caiga mal en Jerusalén, Jubair: un sujeto que con sus seguidores quemaba libros en la hoguera en Jerusalén, Sibrand: un caballero Teutón que queria ocasionar un bloqueo maritimo en Acre y además estaba paranoico con su muerte tanto así que mandaba a matar a monjes nada más porque se visten como los asesinos, y por último Roberto de Sable: el Gran maestre de los templarios de esos tiempos; pero al matar al noveno objetivo Roberto le dice que hay un decimo objetivo que era el traidor de su maestro Al'Mualim puesto que tenia en su poder el fruto del edén para controlar las mentes y acabar las cruzadas, por ende Altair deberá derrotar y matar a su maestro para obtener el fruto y reformar a la orden de los asesinos; la jugabilidad es el punto más bajo del juego puesto que es aburrida y repetitiva ya que hay que hacer siempre lo mismo: Investigar a nuestro objetivo antes de ir a matarlo, los controles se dividen en dos acciones, de perfil bajo y perfil alto que se activa con R1, con equis en perfil bajo te pones a rezar y mezclarte con la multitud, mientras que en perfil alto corres súper rápido, con circulo en perfil bajo apartas a los civiles mientras caminas, mientras que en perfil alto lanzas lejos al enemigo, con cuadro utilizas las armas tanto en perfil bajo y alto y las armas son 4 y son: la emblematica de la saga la Hoja Oculta para matar a los objetivos con sigilo, una Espada para cuando nos descubren y tenemos que combatir, unos cuchillos arrojadizos para matar enemigos a distancia, y los puños para interrogar a testigos en las investigaciones, y con triangulo se activa la vista en primera persona pero si tenemos la barra de sincronización llena podremos con triangulo usar una habilidad especial de Altair llamada la Vista de Águila que es una especie de vista ultra violeta que sirve para detectar mejor al enemigo y los objetivos, y además de fijar el blanco con L1 , movernos con el joystick izquierdo, mover la cámara con el joystck derecho, centrar la cámara con R3, y elegir las armas con las flechas; en cuanto a graficos es otro punto fuerte del juego ya que para la época fueron una locura y hoy en día se sigue viendo igual de bien y no envejecieron mal, el juego se ambienta en 5 ciudades de las Cruzadas las cuales son: Damasco, Acre, Jerusalén, Arsuf y sobretodo y ante todo Masyaf que es la base de los asesinos, que están muy bien recreadas y ambientadas, apesar del guiño o referencia a transformers que le hicieron en los edificios o casas de Damasco; en cuanto a banda sonora es otro punto más bajo ya que el unico tema destacable es Chase Theme que es el tema que suena cuando te **** y te persiguen ya que ese tema cuando suena sientes realmente de que te tiraste el mundo encima; mientras que las otras bandas sonoras son bastante poco emocionates y olvidables; en cuanto a dificultad es otro punto alto del juego ya que es un juego de sigilo en mundo abierto donde te pueden descubrir facilmente y cuando te descubren estas obligado a escapar ya que apesar de poder combatir con la espada y la hoja corta, es super dificil y realista ya que los enemigos te puenden matar de un solo espazo apesar de tener la tecnica del contraataque pero es impresisa y hay que saber cuando utilizarlo; en conclusión Assassin's Creed 1 es un juego muy aburrido y repetitivo pero lo salva su buen sistema de sigilo y su historia con un tono algo filosófico con lo de: Nada es verdad, Todo está permitido.… Expand

    This is the first assassin-themed game I played, quite new and interesting, the plot is attractive but the annoying thing is the repetitive side quests are boring, the plot is good but not well exploited. The graphics are optimized for ps3 which surprised me quite a bit. Anyway, it's a game I rate average.

    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.

    I'll give it because of the innovation that brings a mystery within, really makes you dive into a daring fiction. However, the story gets too much long and repetitive. Travel to town, eavesdrop some chatting of the citizens, steal a letter from someone's pocket, get to the place where target is, kill him, little more chat with near dying target, escape.

    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?
