Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - En la Edad de los Templarios
Para todo aquel que ha conocido historias de los templarios, y que de una forma u otra leyo o vio por tv peliculas basadas en esta generacion de hombres, les llamara este juego de Assasins, en el cual como un jugador puede introducirse sigilosamente y demostrar sus habilidades en cada mision encomendada, mi hijo considera este juego muy interesante por el hecho de la forma de ataque personal que tiene el personaje, cosa no muy comun en juegos de XBox 360, escalar, subri muros, saltar, atacar rapidamente, ocultarse, etc. Les recomiendo tiene muchos niveles y la calidad de graficos por supuesto no se queda atras



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A worthy buy for single-player lovers
If you enjoy action with a dash of stealth involved, this game is for you. The game's graphics are remarkable, and the action scenes are quite cinematic. The easy roof jumping is also fun, and is achieved with a very good control scheme. Overall, you will find this game a worthy contender for those without Xbox Live Gold, or those who just want to play by themselves. I look forward to the rumored next 2 games.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The reason I bought an XBox 360
Previews for this game are the reason I bought an XBox 360. It is extremely realistic, with some of the most beautiful CGI animation I've ever seen. I am currently deployed in the Middle East, and it is awesome to see an accurate (fictional) portrayal of the environment.

The only downside is it is somewhat repetetive after a few hours. There are just some situations where you can't do exactly what you would like, but there is a definite linear storyline to the game that you can't deviate from. There isn't enough side-game for me, but that doesn't make it any less of a hit.

Totally enjoyable! 4/5.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Awesome Environment - Fun to Play
The game has no real difficulty setting so I won't comment as to whether or not you will find it difficult or not - probably depends upon how many games you play and how well. I will say that the interactive environment is one of the best I have seen and a major feature of fun factor in this game. Almost any wall can be scaled and you can surf across rooftops as you like.

The game has less of a strategy component than other RPGs and the mission style is pretty linear. Every mission is some sort of assassination so they can become pretty repetitive. Some of the later missions seemed much easier than I would have thought that they should be - especially in comparison to earlier missions.

The story is pretty cool and draws just enough facts from history to remain plausible. The graphics are great and controls not too hard to get used to. My only complaint - and it is a common one these days - is that the ending is setting up for a sequel and nothing else. The storyline doesn't end when the game does.

Buy the game, have fun with the environment and try solving the missions in different ways. I found, when I went back, that many missions can be accomplished in varying ways and some were much easier than others.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Just good enough to really tick me off
A really bad game is somehow forgivable because you don't waste much time on it (though maybe you do waste money). This game is just good enough that I feel compelled to finish it, even though it is really annoying me in the process. Anyway, to the review:

The good

The graphics are quite good, breathtaking at times. The story is very good, leading the player to question the morality of what is happening.

The bad

The gameplay is very repetitive; each assassination mission is basically the same.

The controls are VERY clunky (combat, movement, looking around), which would be less frustrating in a stealth game (at least the combat part), but is maddening in THIS game.

Apparently, the best way to not get noticed is to walk much slower than the people around you (this is blending in I gather). It is not, however, a good way to make a game interesting.

Crazy people and beggars apparently make great cops. You can walk by actual soldiers and such unnoticed, but crazy people will always hit you (they don't hit anyone else) and beggars will always hassle you (they don't follow anyone else). How do they know? If you want to play a game where you get beat up by crazy people and hassled by beggars, you'll really enjoy this game. If that's you, though... I don't know what to say.

Summary

The problem with new consoles is that game makers can get caught up in their new toy and forget to make a good game. That's what happened here...
