Assassin's Creed (PS3)

I recently purchased Assassin's Creed for the PS3. This game is a huge step for the console arena, with a truly massive gameplay world. With both street level and rooftops used to move around, most buildings are climbable and an AI structure to the game that has not been seen before, this title has broke the mould in my opinion. You get to explore three of the massive cities, Jerusalem, Damascus and Acre and meet lots of interesting people, and, if they are deserving, kill them. At the start of proceedings you are on a mission which ends in failure, stripped of rank and weaponry you then get sent out on missions to regain your rank and weapons. The plot is, ...  Read the complete review

Assasins creed, the true power of this game shows the real potential of the PS3, maybe the most advanced game both in graphics and reality that is out for the PS3. Every building has detail from big holes to knife cuts, every person looks different and has a different personality and every kill you make is different to the others. During the game you will explore three major cities of the Holy Land in the 12th century these include: Jerusalem, Damascus, and Acre. Each city is beautifully designed and they are huge. I have however encounted some "graphic glitches" that disrupt the gameplay at times but this shouldn't matter too much. ...  Read the complete review

Game Info: Name: Assassin's Creed Released: November 2007, PS3 Developed by: Ubisoft Montreal Average Professional Score: 8 out of 10 You may like Assassin's Creed if you liked: Prince of Persia (PS3) Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) Developed by Ubisoft and released in late 2007, Assassin's Creed was everywhere. Hype after hype and magazine cover after trailer was unleashed like it was a craze spreading across the world. Assassin fever was definitely in the air. The only problem I find however is that games like this manage to rouge up enough media attention and get sales into the millions but generally lack ...  Read the complete review

The story-line is odd. You are in the present/future and are being "experiemented" on. Scientists believe that the memory of ancestors might be locked into our genes and are especially interested in some particular ancestoral memories, for some reason or other. So they stick you in a machine and make you "regress" (so to speak). You then relive the events of the past, as your ancestor. The assassin, Altair (see pic above). The game is definitely beautiful but the first thing that struck me, was the fact that you are forced to watch or listen to people who feel the need to talk to you. Able to move but not leave. You are stuck listening to ...  Read the complete review

Following its announcement assassins creed arrived with all the hype of a celebrity wedding - and subsquently ended in similar disappointment. Don't get me wrong, the game did have a number of fantastic plus points but when the gameplay ends up akin to bashing your head to a rather large and less than smooth brick wall it makes it difficult to create the game the hype would lead you to believe it should be. First, the positives - the game wasn't a complete train wreck - but you can guarantee if it was it would look stunning. The graphics on this game will push your next-gen processors capacity and those with a penchant for architecture may find themselves ...  Read the complete review
