Assassin’s Creed

By Sandor Hugert

 

This was one of the most anticipated games of 2007, and it was also the most disappointing game of the year.  This is the most repetitive game ever made in the whole history of video games.  The missions are all the same exact thing.  There are basically three types of missions that you just do over and over with the difficulty of the game rising up a little.  The graphics are nice to look at, but it doesn’t compare to some of the better-looking games lately such as Uncharted Drake’s Fortune and Call of Duty 4.  There really isn’t that many cool killing moves, but instead if just block and counter attack then you’re just about set to beat the entire boring game.  The story line tries to be all serious and make sense, but it fails in both aspects.  The big twist of the game is revealed to you in the first few minutes of the game, which is one of the dumbest moves made in the story lines of any video game.  The ending sets up the story for the sequel, which is very unnecessary after failing to make one of the most anticipated games in the year good at all.  The guys at UBI Soft should just go back to working on Tom Clancy games and their Prince of Persia franchise.  If they’re going to make the sequel to Assassin’s Creed, then they better fix up all the problems in the first game.  This game was definitely the biggest disappointment of 2007.  At most this game is only worth a rent.
