Summary

Despite some notable faults, Assassins’ Creed is an amazing experience, delivering the perfect amalgam of story telling and immersive gameplay. With the chance to take control of a 12th century assassin, this is a gaming opportunity that simply cannot be passed up.

We like

  • Great story
  • Superb graphics
  • Historical accuracy

We dislike

  • Repetitive gameplay
  • Freezing issues
  • Mediocre voice acting

See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings

(continued from previous page) ...a majority of the problems, Assassin's Creed still freezes from time to time.

On the other hand, one thing that we were personally was impressed with was the historical accuracy within the game. We're not saying that there was a guy named Altair going from city to city assassinating 12th century influential leaders, although if there was then more kudo's to Ubisoft, but we are saying that the most of the names used during the time period are accurate.

Love it or hate it, you can't deny that Ubisoft Montreal did an excellent job with certain aspects of Assassin's Creed. The graphics, the story, and the city designs were amazing and while they are some minor flaws with the game, they are nowhere near enough to not warrant a purchase.

    why does everyone think assassins creed is amazing ? its just a piece of overhyped trash with the most repetitive and boring gameplay ever seen in a game. The only reason this game did well is because of the worlds new found parkour obssession.

    Another nice add for my PS3 collection.  I enjoyed playing through this game.  The story is rich, and full of historic sites.  The freedom you get from the game is limiting, but not to the point of being told what to do.  Graphics are amazing in HD, though in SD they are pretty bad...  The game has alot of annoying missions to do, but the payoff in the end is fun.  The ending isn't that great, but lets always hope for a sequal.  The game is worth purchasing used, and I wouldn't pay a dollar over 20.

    best thing about this game, thought me the true meaning of impulse buying, games were never overhyped on ps2, if it looked good, it was good, but this game.... its like a long bus journey that you have been on many times, same thing over and over and over, uncharted decimated this game
