I picked it up. not bad, graphics are pretty good, cept some models feel "meh".
very bizar concept for the game, and a little unnecessary if you ask me. |

| If I remember, I'm probably going to pick it up for my PS3 after I get out of work later today. From what I've read, there does not seem to be any downsides of the PS3 version in comparison to the 360s, which is a nice relief for me. |

I have AC.
It rocks. There's one thing though: don't rush through. Take your time, and enjoy the environments, sidequests, combat and parkouring.
I have it for PS3, you can clearly see some tearing now and then, but it's not a gamebreaker. |

I bought this game with a bit of apprehension (due to the reviews) instead of picking up Kane & Lynch (which is getting rough reviews - but I still think I'll pick up once I can get used) and Mario Galaxies (which has received universal acclaim), and though I have only played through about the first hour of it, but I really like it so far. The controls are different, but after a short while feel very intuitive, the graphics are pretty incredible even on just a component video cable, and in general it does feel like a unique experience, which seems to be more and more rare.
I really don't really agree with the reviews that are around 6.0 so far, but maybe that will flesh itself out as the game goes on. So far though, I'm pretty optimistic on it - it's been nothing but fun to this point.
As far as initial feel goes, I'm giving it a cautiously optimistic 8, and we'll see where it goes from here.

Alright - so here's the thing. If you like the way the game plays quite a bit and can deal with a LOT of cut scenes, then this game deserves all the praise it's getting (even the 10's).
However, if you don't - this will be the height of tedium for you. Tasks are very repetitive, cut scenes are plentiful (and sometimes have very, very little information that most gamers will care about), and in general there isn't a high level of "depth" to the experience like you'd find in games like Galaxies or Bioshock.
That being said - I love it. Absolutely. The gameplay itself is very intuitive, the graphics are beautiful, and the free-running aspect of the game is truly something to behold. I'm only about half way through, but I'll still maintain my 8+ rating so far, but will caution that I completely understand why there are such vastly differing reviews. It seems bound to be a "love/hate" experience that will divide gamers opinions starkly.
Probably a rent before purchase, but again - I'm not missing my $60. :) |

| With the reviews so far, I'll agree with RJT that this game is very love/hate. Try a rental first, because if you dig the style, its incredible. |

I was pretty disappointed that AC didn't come to PC the same time it arrived for the consoles :(
Looooong wait :( |

I've been looking forward to this game ever since I first heard of it. I love this time period and setting.
Then I read all the negative reviews and thought I should just skip it.
But this thread made me change my mind.
Too bad I won't have my 360 back for another 2 or 3 weeks. :( |

GAH This game pisses me off.
Since i have 360 i was running around trying to get all the viewpoints and all the save citizens before going to the assassins headquarters.
Problem with that is now i can't find any objectives for my mission.
I did it in 2 cities, the first city i thought "oh i must be in the wrong city for some reason'
no.
lesson learned.
Dont get all the viewpoints until you've killed everyone you need to. :(
7.5 / 10 |
