HectorS.Jan 22, 2008No doubt that the visuals are remarkable and the scope of the environment is incredible, but the depth of the game is so poor that I couldn't possibly rate it any higher.

PeteZ.Dec 3, 2007Fails to deliver on immense potential Repetitious, requires no skill whatsoever, boring at times This is an interactive movie (with non-skippable cutscenes) not a game.

BenderNov 23, 2007Don't beleive the hype. Assassins Creed is great for the first hour, but any longer it becomes very repetitive and boring. So boring I was compelled to play other games instead of finishing it. I suggest renting AC first.

ShaneDec 18, 2007Pretty pictures, great controls but boooooring repetitive game play. WTH is up with all these great reviews? If you play the game for more then 3 hours, you realize what a scam it is. People need to demand more from games and with reviews like this, we'll never get it.

May 11, 2022I understand in 2007 was a new game with lots of new mechanics, open world and other things but playing and finishing it after all the time the game lacks in general. I found repetitive, stressful and many other bad feelings.
-
Aug 23, 2010Very well done in terms of the world size and the free running. Interesting way to tell a story also. Unfortunately the entire game is so insanely repetitive that I couldn't even finish. I literally was sick to my stomach from doing the same thing over and over again. You basicly repeat the same mission the entire game.
-
GregS.Nov 28, 2009Extremely repetitive. Doesn't use the awesome free-running and combat mechanics to its fullest. However, easy 1000/1000 gamerscore.

Dec 29, 2011This game gets 1 point for stunning graphics it is without a doubt the most boring game I've ever played being so repetitive i couldn't finish it because i was afraid of suicide never got to the second one because i would want to understand the story F*** Assassin's Creed

Jan 6, 2013The first few hours our alright in this game then it send you to do the exact same thing over and over and over again. You can save civilians and climb towers for bars of health, but after you max it out it becomes pointless to do. Sorry but I forced myself to complete this and after completing it, its one of the most boring games I have played in my entire life. Assassin's Creed 2.0/10

Aug 15, 2013The gameplay mechanics were great and one of the first examples of fluid free running mechanics. The world was a glorious scale and detail however the game was hindered by one of the most cripplingly linear and repetitive storylines. It's redeeming grace is it paved the way for some truly breathtaking sequels.

JohnnyNov 13, 2007A waste of time past the first 5 minutes when your wowed by the visuals only to find the games 'open ended nature' means doing exactly what the makers intended to do ad infinitum.

DominicL.Jan 6, 2009Purely disappointing. After all the talk about this game i wasted my money. Don't buy this. Rent it and see if you like it. But personally to me i didn't like it. Once again, purely disappointing.

Sep 11, 2014This game sucks i wonder how this **** got 80 points by metacritic.This game is so repetitive and soooooo boring and after some time u don't even want to play this game and even in the cutscenes suck ass with no subtitles.
IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME DO NOT BUY IT PIRATE IT BECAUSE ITS NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY! -
Sep 16, 2016This game is so horrible. I can't believe. Horrible game. Everything is horrible. I'll burn this game. I'll burn my console after played it. I need burn everything.

Oct 10, 2013In this day and age a video game without subtitles is like a building without wheelchair access. Throw in stealth components designed for impatient hyperactive teens and you have a miserable game masquerading itself as a game that is really just a glorified movie with a mediocre plot.
-
Oct 19, 2013Find some evidence, assassinate some guy, return to Masyaf. Repeat ad infinitum.
Assassin'ss Creed is a good concept ruined by monotonous repetitiveness and shoddy A.I. -

Nov 15, 2014I love the Assassin's Creed franchise, but I hate the first one, the game is old clunky and is very repetitive, you'll be doing the same thing over and over again: Listen over a conversation, find someone, interrogate someone ect... Its very boring and isn't worth a buy.
-
May 2, 2017It is not a game, It just a single disgusting level multiplied to nine. Very bad game! It is like an early alpha version of some game without gameplay.
-
Aug 28, 2015Boring storyline, repetitive submissions, too much blah-blah-blah in Animus cut-scenes. Lack of entertainment all the way.
You will not regret starting with Assassin's Creed 2. -
Nov 7, 2016the game repeats itself a lot no diversity, no side quests you get bored of playing always the same really. artificial intelligence is bad. the controls is where it gets interesting sometimes
-
Oct 23, 2017O jogo tinha potencial, mas a repetitividade extrema do Game acabou quebrando ele. Como aspectos bons ele tinha sua história, que realmente é boa. Mas de outro lado, a Gameplay meio sem graça, as missões muito repetitivas, a inteligência artificial ruim, faz com que o jogo seja esquecido e incomparável com sua sequência.
NOTA: 4 (Muito ruim) -
Jun 22, 2021Religious references in games should really be avoided: in the same way as any entertainment product openly disrespecting Muslims is prosecuted, so should happen to this game for openly depicting Christians as evil forces.

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's hard to put the sheer size and brilliance of Assassin's Creed into words. It is an epic game that you have to experience for yourself. I will caution that the game is not for the impatient or the faint of heart. While you can plow through the main storyline in under 20 hours, to truly get every single last shred of gaming goodness, you will probably have to put in twice that number.
-
With its riveting story, beautiful visuals and surprisingly lifelike world, Assassin's Creed is an incredibly deep, enjoyable game that kept us addicted from beginning to bizarre end.
