Assassin´s Creed Message Board  

absolutely loved the game and can't wait for the next part in the trilogy!!!

Seems to me this is just common sense? If there's a chance you won't like a game then rent it first.

Anywhoo, i hated Prince of Persia, yet i love this game to bits. The fights remind me of the video releases of Fable 2

I wouldn't get it at all. I played through the entire game and was extremely disappointed. I had to actually try hard to make the game MORE fun. There were no stealth missions(like mentioned in a few interviews) or cool cut scenes...in fact there are no action cut scenes at all. There is not much freedom in the way you kill each assassin, in fact you will probably kill each target the same way. All the missions are EXACTLY the same. You interrogate the same guy every mission, only difference is he has a different name, then you'll help out a fellow assassin and last you'll pickpocket some guy. The storyline is extremely cheesy and you could probably come close to figuring out the game's entire plot within the first hour of playing (WAY too much foreshadowing). I'll admit the game was cool until i got the the second, third, forth assassin and they were all exactly the same deal, just a new level. The combat can be fun and the counter attack moves look pretty cool when you first see them, but when you've seen them 100's of times, it gets really old. On top of that Jeruselem and Acre are so big, that you would never be able to tell the two apart there are way too many buildings to know where you are or where you're going and most of the building look EXACTLY THE SAME. Another annoying dissappointment was that you NEVER get the crossbow...some people say that the videos are old, but the intro video clearly shows Aliar with a crossbow. This game may appear to be extremely amazing, but don't be fooled by good advertising.

I like prince of Persia games so I'll probably get this soon.

Well yeah it was quite amazing after i figured out the controls, The only thing i hated about it was to many controls for one button and very repeditive game play.
