  Old  Assassin's Creed (360)

So, we picked up this game yesterday anxious to see if it lived up to the hype. Reviews were split, some loved it and others were disappointed.

My take, it's awesome! I didn't get a chance to play until late last night and before I knew it, it was 3:45 a.m.. Reluctantly, I had to shut my 360 down and get some sleep.

There are so many things I like about this game. I'm not a big fan of sandbox games, I have to say, AC really appealed to me. You play a man in the future, who comes from a long line of assassins. A lab holds you prisoner and forces you to use a machine to tap into ancestral memories to locate something. Of course, they don't tell you what you're looking for and I'm not far enough into the game to even guess.

The interaction with the environment is excellent. It reminds me of when Splinter Cell first came out, having the ability to scale walls and use beams and other objects to fulfill your purpose. But, AC goes even further with the crowd interaction and having the ability to either shove or gently push away people you come in contact with. Truly a gaming first.

I can really go on and on about the game, especially the controls, graphics, and the utter fact that you get to play an assassin in the Crusade world. It's just plain cool.

I definitely recommend it and look forward to playing some more after work.

That's surprising. I have only heard good things on this so far. I definitely wouldn't expect that score from IGN with all the hype that's been leading up to this launch.

Where do you get your score at?

Look at the reviews from Game Trailers, Gamespot and so on, just because one doesn't like it. Doesn't mean it's not good. It's an awesome game. One of the best I have ever played. Although it is a bit boring sometimes walking around, a few nudges and getting in trouble solves that

Completely true. I've been wanting a decent game that's worth playing offline (such as BioShock or Assassin's Creed), so I might pick this up in a few days. Either that or Call of Duty 4.

Well, yesterday it said 6.8, or I may have it confused with NFS: ProStreet.. hmm

But still 7.7 is poor..
