Assasin's Creed - OMG!

Postby scarr3d on Wed Nov 21, 2007 11:39 pm

Ok, let's just say I've played this game a few times and my brain nearly exploded.

Words can not describe it, but I'll try.

Well for starters, THE coolest intro to a game I've ever watched, period. Just unreal to say the least.

Here it is on YouTube for you to watch if you're curious and haven't seen it before. Damn I hate YouTube quality! Oh well:

I've been playing the 360 version of it and I must say, for a game with such complex controls, they're so easy to use. Very responsive and intuitive, makes jumping around as easy as playing Pong (If Pong is hard for you, I'd suggest never playing video games again you sad excuse for a human being...) You are able to climb pretty much every single object/building/structure in the game and if you can see it, you can get to it basically.

The graphics look so realistic that you'd swear it was real almost, probably the best I've seen to date and the NPC characters will respond to your every action.

Unlike alot of games nowdays, it has a very strong character building aspect with the main character, and you actually get to hear his voice. Games rarely let you hear your character's voice and/or even name sometimes, but this game revolves around your character.

The levels are absoloutely massive and you rarely hit a loading screen (Really only when you leave town or enter town) and the attention to detail is astounding.

I'd have to say that this is one of he best games I've ever played.

Thoughts? Opinions?

I've not had a chance to play it yet, but the videos I've seen of it look IMMENSE!
One of the advantages of horses that people sometimes point out, is that they very seldom explode. Almost never, in my experience, apart from that unfortunate occurence in the hot summer a few years ago.

My friend actually played through the entire thing over the weekend :(

I don't know if the sad thing is how much he plays, or how short the game is...

Depending on how you look at it, it can look short or long.

The overall storyline isn't very long, but depending on how you go about it you can make it last longer. Plus there are alot of different little sub-plots throughout to keep you busy, I doubt that your friend passed it 100% in just that weekend, maybe only the main story.

Assassins Creed seems like a game I would probably get bored of after a couple days, the graphics do look amazing though and I will definitely pick up a copy once I get my 360.

Yeah, I read a review somewhere (I forget where) where the reviewer said he was really disappointed at first, 'cos he was blasting through the game to meet a deadline. He stopped and started playing it properly, and found an absolutely amazing game!

Had a play on the Xbox 360 version last night at my mates house.

Boy, does this game live up to the hype!

Strange-ass story though!
