    This game has serious issues. It's too repetitive. It becomes tiresome after an hour and how the fighting system ever passed play testing is beyond me. Frame rate sucks too. Seriously people, this trash is not worth your time.

Because you will murder a lot, and you will enjoy it. Mostly because of the animations and voice acting. Awesome! Expand

Its intricate to say the least and is truly alive. You'll explore three major cities of the Holy Land, each bustling with life and each with their own personality. This is one hell of a beautiful game. Not only are every object so layered but the cities are all to the right color and the shadows all pitch perfect. The soundtrack is even more impressive composing of perfect background noise, great voice acting from supporting cast and an epic score. Also the story adds bulk to all this and glues it all together, leaving all this in a coherent likable whole. All this would be nothing of course if it wasn't for great gameplay and an all-round entertaining experience. Combat also present that perfect balance of not being too hard nor too easy and is a very satisfying experience. But even tough combat is flowing, it is not always the best option and I advise to take most situations slowly. A small blemish to this beautiful world is the unnatural focus of certain parts of gameplay, most citizens say the same thing, saving a citizen goes on the same route for every city, vigilantes are always present at the same place....etc. Also the ending is complete ***** and ruins the whole game but I won't go into that. Also there are a couple of glitches which we can forgive because its so huge. So all in all if you forget the ending and the repetition assassin's creed is a truly great game which sucks you in and would be very difficult to let you go. Expand

The old narrow roads and crowded markets capture the atmosphere perfectly too. Where the game lacks a bit though is the gameplay. The build up to every assassination, where you have to eavesdrop on people, get information and perform other tasks to help you plan the perfect kill and getaway is fun at first, but it can get very repetitive, since you'll be doing the same thing over and over again. That doesn't mean that the game is boring though, if you take it slowly, as a true assassin, the way it was meant to be played, you will indulge in that slow and stealthy process of acquiring information and studying your target. If you rush through the game on the other hand in an attempt to complete it as fast as possible, you will probably get bored of the very similar and repetitive missions fast. Expand

    It may not be a perfect entry point, but Assassin's Creed is the start of a new franchise that breathes promise into the industry. Ubisoft have something special on their hands and with care, it will flourish into something great, something to be remembered.

    Historical games are a rarity and Ubisoft have somehow interested us with a history lesson.

    There are evident shortcomings, but hopefully by the sequel they will have been rectified.

    Counter-kills are fun, allowing you to take on many foes and feel like pro taking them down, one by one. Scaling up walls with your parkour skills is another fun feature. Blending is hilarious (simply put your hands together in prayer and walk slowly).

    Although highly repetitive, the game satisfies our open world curiosity.

    The inability to swim is annoying, but a limitation that adds to the challenge of the game. Who knows, maybe people of the era were unable to swim.

    No matter how many faults there are, you will eagerly await what the sequel has in store.

    Assassin's Creed is a 2007 action-adventure stealth video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft.

    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

    "Assassin's Creed" fue muy interesante, con una historia prometedora y gráficos, que en su momento era de lo mejor del catálogo de PlayStation 3, sirvió para darle vida a un juego que se convirtió en insignia para Ubisoft.
    En general el juego no ofrece mucho, la mecánica consiste en averiguar en las grandes ciudades datos que te faciliten el asesinato del objetivo que te da el gremio, para esto debes salvar ciudadanos, escuchar conversaciones, robar información, interrogar secuaces y trepar las torres más altas para completar el mapa, luego debes entrar en conflicto con el objetivo. Esa formula se repite cuatro o cinco veces y es todo el juego.
    En general es aburrido, pero el inicio y el final son interesantes y te hacen querer saber cómo continúa la serie.
    En general este es un juego al que se le perdonó mucho porque era de los primeros de la generación, para los estándares de hoy es un mal juego o uno regular, pero merece puntos por haber sido en su tiempo uno de los más elaborados.
    Recomiendo mejor conseguir la versión "Director's cut" para PC o en su defecto la de 360 por tener trofeos y prolongarle un poco más la vida al juego.

    - Gráficamente el juego luce muy bien, tanto en iluminación, sombras y texturas.

    - La jugabilidad es bastante buena, sobre todo los movimientos de escalada y de parkour que se notan muy fluidos y te dan una libertad de movimiento enorme tanto horizontal como verticalmente.

    El sistema de combate es muy simple y fácil en mi opinión, tanto que es difícil que te maten aunque estés en 1 Vs 20 guardias, dado que puedes defender casi todo los golpes ademas de hacer contra ataques mortales.

    Las Ciudades son increíblemente espectaculares, tanto visualmente hablando como en jugabilidad, están muy bien recreadas y nos muestras grandes edificios históricos con todo lujo de detalles.

    Me gusta el sistema de tener que investigar antes de ir a asesinar al objetivo templario, hace que el juego sea mas creíble y que tengas que planear como matar a tu objetivo sin ser descubierto.

    - La historia esta bastante bien, es original y tiene puntos muy interesantes, el protagonista principal Altair no me gustaba al principio, demasiado egocéntrico y orgulloso, pero me gusta el cambio que sufre durante la historia.

    - La banda sonora es espectacular, cumple en todo momento su función, tanto si estamos viendo unas hermosas vistas como sufriendo una persecución.

    En resumen, es un buen videojuego muy divertido que inicia toda una nueva saga de juegos, con un protagonista pasable, buena jugabilidad, combate simplón, buena banda sonora y gráficos, muy recomendable, le doy un 7.

    As the starting point of what would end up becoming one of the most beloved franchises of the 7th console generation, 2007's Assassin's Creed was truly a unique voice in a sea of familiarity; something new and different that no one had really played before. That's not to say the game is perfect by any means, because a decade later, it's far from it.

    To begin with, the story is very simplistic but is executed well for what it was: after a mission to retrieve an ancient relic goes horribly wrong, a demoted Altair must assassinate 9 Templars to prove his worth and move his way back up the ranks of the Assassin Brotherhood of the Third Crusades. It works as a progressive story, showing the growth of Altair and how his peers and mentor react to him during this growth. It makes you feel like you're progressing through the ranks and manages to keep you interested through its decent character work and interesting storytelling. Some of the characters can be a bit one-dimensional, and Altair weighs a bit more on the 'bland' scale of Assassin's Creed protagonists. The story can also get a bit stretched out and slow at points, however there is also a massive twist at the end that comes as quite the surprise.

    Gameplay is a bit of an oddball, skipping between fun and tedious at random intervals. To begin with, there is no fast travel, which can make going from point A to B very slow. Free-running works but is very clunky and a bit buggy (however not as buggy as some future instalments). Combat is simple and easy to understand and get to grips with, but can be exceedingly slow, as well as a pain when confronting many guards at once. Also stealth can be very slow and not very gratifying, making stealth sections a bit of a slog . On the other hand, there is a decent amount of ways to confront enemies, making every confrontation feel fresh. However, the mission structure is not very fresh. All missions (pick-pocketing, racing, eavesdropping, beat ups) are integrated into the story and are essential to getting to each individual you are assassinating. It's fine when you have to only do it once or twice, but to do it up to 7-8 times? This becomes exceedingly repetitive.

    Visually, for 2007, the game actually looks really damn nice. Each city has its own unique feel and atmosphere, with its inhabitants reacting and behaving in different ways to events happening in their cities. It's also structurally impressive, which helps to make the world visually appealing and brings the world of the Third Crusades to life.

    All in all, it was a humble beginning for the Assassin's Creed franchise. Whilst this game was really decent back then, the original Assassin's Creed has aged terribly and the flaws really do stick out more then they did. It's not terrible, but it's just not that great either. It's a very 'meh' game.

If you want to kill them, u need informations. But we get informations with same thing in all missions. To boring. Only interesting things is start of the game, assassination of templars, and end of the game.

    Openworld is to bad, i only made "synchronize the viewpoints". Combat and Parkour is best on the AC series. There is only few characters. I only remember Altair, Mentor, and our last Assassination target. And its a woman. Not our main villian.

    And wanna know a funny fact? I dont remember our main villiians name. Lmao.

    Outside of the main story, the small side objectives don't add anything, they are repetitive and there are like two or three different ones. The plot is not bad at all, the simple fact of how the story happens and the timeline I liked it a lot, of course, it doesn't escape from pretty generic clichés but it works.

    It's not a bad start at all for a saga now that it's well cemented.

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.

    The game which started the juggernaut franchise for Ubisoft still feels very raw in gameplay and presentation. The story isn't gripping nor are the actual mechanics of the game. It was from this uncut title that they fashioned an entire mini genre. This first game however need not be revisited.

Core game play loop is dull, the side quests are repetitive, the movement is unresponsive and frustrating, sword combat doesn't feel satisfying and a majority of the time enemies deflect your attacks constantly.

Core game play loop is dull, the side quests are repetitive, the movement is unresponsive and frustrating, sword combat doesn't feel satisfying and a majority of the time enemies deflect your attacks constantly. So it comes down to continuously wailing on them until they eventually take a hit or just standing there and waiting for a counter attack opportunity. The game is also poorly optimised for PlayStation 3, with the frame rate dipping often and in some cases dipping so much making the game unplayable and forcing a reboot of the system.

    The only thing Assassin's Creed 1 has going for it is that it was an interesting concept for a game, the way the writers created a fiction storyline within non-fiction setting is pretty neat, and the visuals, whilst outdated to today's standards, were great at the time, and the attention to detail in the world's architecture and visual design should be applauded.

    Unfortunately, visuals and an interesting concept can't carry the game. The first Assassin's Creed game is just...boring, and I would have a very hard time recommending it to anyone.

    The game has a rather simple plot and the biggest problem is the gameplay. The idea is great and combat can be pretty challenging sometimes but all in all, this game is the ultimate winner of repetitive gameplay! It will make you do the same things for around 12 hours. In every new city district you enter, you will find completely the same side quests and after only a few hours of playing, I was asking myself: “Didn’t I do this already 100 times?”. It is worth mentioning that jumping controls can be a nightmare sometimes and you can end up on a totally wrong side or worse, in the water, which will cause the last checkpoint loading screen (protagonist is a tough warrior but for some reason he cannot swim). The good thing about this game is that it is just a bit of a boring prologue to a few much better Assassin’s Creed games (II, Brotherhood…).

Most people seem to think it's at least okay but I guess I'm built different. A lot of people are going to see that I gave Duke Nukem Forever a 6 and disregard my opinion but let me defend myself.

    The biggest thing is how bad the game controls. They tried to make the most with the controller and I think it's too much. Each button does a drastically different thing. It focused way to much on trying to make you feel like you are actually Altair and it didn't work.

    The story is interesting but basic. You can tell it is heavily Matrix inspired. I know the stories get better in the later installments but I'm not going to play those after this game. The Assassin story was also very basic. It was a concept that has been used many times before but with Assassins.

    The graphics were good for the time. I think they hold up today honestly. They did a very good job with the graphics but there aren't any subtitles. I know it's not a disappointment to everyone but it was to me. I really just wasn't a fan of this one.

    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 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

    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.

    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?
