    A game that shows Altair's Adventure in Cyprus. For a game made for psp the graphics are good and the battle mechanics interesting, Dodging, parrying throwing knives everything works fine. Not many good games available on psp so i do believe that it is a game worth experiencing if you own a psp.

    I picked this up at a pawn shop thinking it would be like the PSP Prince of Persia's (terrible). I was wrong. Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines is attention grabbing from the tutorial. I was well surprised to see the open world, great control, and very decent graphics. You guys should remember you played the others on a next gen HD console before you call it crap.

    Só por você poder voltar a uma civilização de quase 1000 anos atrás e poder voltar a controlar Altair, já torna ele um jogo memorável. Ele é melhor que Assassins Creed do Psvita. É legal ver o que acontece com o Altair após o final do 1 hehe

    It is such a good game in fact one of the best. It has a splendid story with awesome moves to kill the templars. Great upgrades, and best of all you can do so many things in the game. Indeed it has bad cut-scenes. But on a whole, it is great. I would give it a score of atleast 8.5 - 9.5. Well done Ubisoft! Users rating should defenitely be higher. Metascore should also be higher.

    Short story, gameplay is poor. One of the worst in the series.

    Bland missions can't make the PSP (AC) version be a magnificent experience , however , if you're a truly AC fanatic in terms of story side, there is a possibility that it'll attract you.

    Благодаря этой игре я ощутил себя в прошлом, и получал удовольствие от фантазии, что я снова в школе и у меня есть псп, за окном весна 2009го и я играю в Ассасина прямо за партой, когда эта серия ещё только расцветает на больших платформах.
    В общем, воспоминания о том, чего не было.
    В принципе, ностальгия - единственный повод играть в это. По всем исключительно игровым аспектам игра просто мусор. Боевка - тупое, аркадное закликивание врагов; паркур корявый из-за управления; псевдоистория - графоманский мусор с нулевым уровнем постановки. Задания однообразные до ужаса.
    И тем не менее, в игру хотелось возвращаться, закликивать очередного главаря без индивидуальных черт, выслушав очередной безынтересно написанный брифинг и так далее. Но все таки не выдержал, не прошёл.

    I cannot believe the critical hate this game is getting. If you liked the first AC, then you should like this game. If not, this one will not do it for you. It's sort of AC 1.25, adding a few elements from 2 in here and there. The gameplay is almost exactly like the first game (for better or for worse), the graphics and voice acting are solid and I am quite impressed with that I cannot believe the critical hate this game is getting.

    Too many publications are comparing this game to AC2 on PS3 and 360 which is unfair, its a PSP game, judge it like a PSP game. I am a fan of Assassins Creed, got a Platinum in AC2 yesterday. I agree with the ratings of AC2, but Bloodlines is under-rated in my opinion for a good portable version of AC.

I am a fan of Assassins Creed, got a Platinum in AC2 yesterday. I agree with the ratings of AC2, but Bloodlines is under-rated in my opinion for a good portable version of AC. Now the DS versions are understandably poor, but the PSP retains many features from AC 1 and 2. It feels like Assassins Creed 1.5 more than anything, a few moves from AC2 are present. Connecting it to the PS3 unlocked quite a few features which was nice too. It defiantly explains something that occurs later in AC2 which I had no recollection from AC1 at all. So all in all this game retains the most crucial element of AC which is the rooftop free-running which is surprisingly intact. yes the camera isnt perfect but it's no where near as bad as the critics are making it out to be, I had only a few hiccups. If you are used to the cumbersome lack of a 2nd analog stick in shooter games than it wont be a problem. Not as good as the console versions but the best portable experience of Assassins Creed. 8.5 if I could rate it that!… Expand

    Its good but could be better, as the noterierty in assassins creed 2 stays instead of going after a few seconds, but if you bought the other ones and liked them, buy this one.

    Not so good AI? Not up to AC1 standards? Those reviewers are crazy. It's on the PSP. It's an excellent action game on a portable console. You don't compare it to AC1, you compare it to the other portable AC, AC Lineage (DS and Iphone), and it's MILES better than that. Indeed, 40$ is a bit steep, 30$ would be fair.

    -less glitches like climbing midair
    -more music tracks
    -and more variety

    Tendo em mente as limitações do portátil, AC BloodLine é um bom jogo. Claro que seus controles atrapalham, nem sempre rotacionar a câmera é tarefa fácil, ainda assim é um jogo que diverte e vc sente vontade de jogar até o final. Não é um titulo indispensável mas vale a pena te-lo na lista de jogos zerados!

    Assassin's Creed Bloodlines is one of the best AC games to this date. It has the most challenging, entertaining and fair combat in an AC game. You can use counter-attacks or perfect hits attack.

    Me gustaba la idea de un nuevo Assassin's con Altaïr pero este me ha decepcionado un poco,no en la historia si no en los gráficos y ambientación,seguramente nos hayan acostumbrado muy mal pero me parece un juego un poco feo para ser de una PSP,he visto juegos parecidos mas currados que este.

    Bom jogo. Não é lá grandes coisas, mas diverte. Tem uma mecânica de escala melhor que o primeiro, e aqui pelo menos Altair tem de auxílio narrativo alguns outros personagens de apoio que são relevantes. A trama segue o que é esperado depois do fim do anterior. Graficamente, para ser bem sincero, o jogo até me agrada bastante, mesmo com as limitações.

The parkour was very familiar to the first game and was very fluid. However, the game does suffer when the ai is too stupid to chase you and climb the ladder and there was a glitch in a mission where i couldn't move so i had to restart to fix it. Furthermore, when you have reached the final mission of the game and had completed it you will no longer be able to free roam as when you press continue session it shoves you into the final mission again. Overall, Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines is a very amazing sequel to the beloved Altair fans which further constructs Altair’s story while having many fun segments to the gameplay.… Expand

    Tremenda mrd, es unos de los peores juegos que jugue
    Se ve que lo lanzaron apresurados porque tenia que salir en la misma fecha que la segunda entrega

    Even though it's a bit rough (bad A.I., the same repetitive mission grind of AC, the out-of-character boss battles, the approximately five-hour length), Bloodlines is saved by its generally solid adherence to the Assassin's Creed formula. Using the hidden blade to brutally counter some Templar makes up for silly boss fights and lame levels -- plus I get also some decent swords for Ezio's villa.

    Fans will like this game and dilettantes would do well to stay away, though really there's not enough here for anyone other than the hardest of the hardcore, dying to get their knife-to-the-jugular fix after blowing through Assassin's Creed II.
