The game seemed to be taking a chug whenever there are too many NPC’s on screen (4-5 max), and the engine does not seem to be able to handle outdoor environments. My question is why did no one mention these errors even when the game was not fully finished? The people who had countless number of hands on time with the game could have at least pointed these minor issues out, so that the community would have become aware of such issues.
@-THE-RAY-, it amazes me how wide the range of reviews are. I don't understand how some reviewers are calling it perfect while others are saying it was absolutely terrible. For me, the bad reviews are a much bigger effect than the good ones as nobody should be having that bad an experience with what was expected to be an AAA title.
Assassin's Creed is a disappointing, repetitive game filled with horrendously long and unnecessary cut scenes, a boring plot, tedious chores, and significant difficulty problems -- it's a game with a few great ideas but absolutely no idea how to implement them.
Once you get past all that, however, there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be able to have a hell of a fun time with it.
It seems that the drop might be an over compensation. The game is still fun to play, and has been advertised heavily on the television in the states. There are a lot of people who don't read reviews, and there are even more who will still buy games that fall in the 80's range of the meta score. It is a pretty game that has been advertised well, hyped up and gotten a lot of word of mouth to those that don't frequent gaming websites. I think it will still sell well.
here are few differences between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. PS3 owners are blessed with a slightly more solid frame rate, although the 360 version features a little more contrast in the lighting, so it's pretty much a wash. But regardless of which platform you go with, you'll have an amazing and unforgettable game. Assassin's Creed is the kind of game you tell your friends about, and one that should be in your collection.
Ambition is great. Try hard enough and you'll eventually get to the moon. Of course, ahead of that, you'll probably be lucky if you manage to leave the launch pad, let alone shoot 240 thousand miles into the air. And so we find Assassin's Creed, sitting destitute on the tarmac, frantically revving its engine. Sure, that's a damn fine rocket ship you've got there mister, but - you know - does it fly?
