Some people are saying its a lot like Prince of Persia....thanks guys -_- Ubisoft does make Prince of Persia and Assassins Creed ....ya think they might have the same designers working on it which might maybe just maybe make the games similar..which by the way isnt a bad thing, Prince of Persia rules and so does Assassins Creed. its just like a more realistic world with its crazy building climbing

the PS3 version, when people get stabbed, it actually leaves wounds, unlike the X360 version, where there is a spray of blood, and the sword just passes through. This is a really fun game, but the combat gets repetitive and a bit "meh" once you know hoe to beat it.

I think this is what the new Prince of Persia will be like.

Sorry Kevin but AC is not a great game. It's too easy, way too easy. After 4 hours you realize that you are doing the same boring things. The view point towers are cool but again it get's boring climbing more than 30 towers. One of the things that pissed me off the most was that when you climb the highest tower with the cross on top of it and you press the button you can't see Altair because the tower is too damn tall. It would've the coolest scene but...

I said before and I will say it again. AC feels better when you watch someone who's playing it than playing it yourself.

That was a typical review. The only thing I found out about Assassin's Creed from this review was the whole DNA/ memories thing. I must admit that it was a minor spoiler, but I'll still buy the game and everything.

Sticker,
it's actually not a "HUGE" spoiler. It's how the game starts, not a big deal. Nice short 'n' sweet vid review though.

In the 1up review they didn't dig or explore into the game as much. They didn't even talk about how you can help citizens, pick pocket (for missions I guess), timed assassinations, or Teutonic flag stealing. 1up only touched on core gameplay and eavesdropping missions, oh and how they rushed through the game too.

Not a bad review in my opinion, I was turned off by the 1up review...But, now I that I watched this review I think I might pick this game up while I wait for Mass Effect.

I can't believe you put in a HUG E spoiler in the video review...
I NEVER post in these areas, but had to express absolute anger in the decision to let the plot out of the bag.

Gametrailers.com has the better review.

I honestly don't know why I've been paying for a membership here.
