Absolutely Beautiful.....when it works.
Assassin's Creed is a beautiful game and tremendous fun to play. The game world is stunning looking and the story line is engaging. The tricks and stunts performed by your character will keep you entertained for hours.
Cons:
Difficult controls. It's obvious right from the beginning that this game was ported over from the console game. The controls take quite some time to get used to.
Inability to save at any point in the game gets very annoying. Especially, when you're almost at the end of a mission and you die or the game crashes and you have to start all over again from the begining of the mission. It has save points. This is another obvious sign of a ported game.
Games crashes. My game would crash to desktop at least 2 or 3 times a day. I have the latest game patch and it's very frustrating when you have a Core i7 965 CPU and 2 GTX-295 in SLI that will run Crysis all day long on max settings with no problems at all but this game locks up or crashes all the time. I was about 95% complete with the game but it got so annoying that I stopped playing, uninstalled it and never finished the game.
