Refreshing, not revolutionary.

User Rating: 7.5 | Assassin's Creed X360
Graphics: 9/10 - Great Next-Gen visuals with unbelievable animations. A few graphical pop-in issues keep it from perfection.

Controls: 8/10 - Smooth, simple controls with a short learning curve. Sword combat is very fun, however counter-kills make fighting very easy.

Story: 8/10 - A unique setting. Primarily good dialogue and characters.

Soundtrack: 6/10 - The music is fantastic. The problem is the game features one battle song, which will get old quickly.

Voice Acting: 7/10 - The main complaint lodged would be the weak voice acting for the main character, however NPC dialogue becomes repetitive, predictable and routine.

Gameplay: 7/10 - You will undoubtably have 2 different opinions on this front. A first impression, followed 5-10 hours later by a realization that the game is less open ended than Hitman2, and the range of acitons you can take is limited to 5 or so routine, uninspired mission types.


PLAY : If you want something differrent.
DON'T PLAY: If you want something to entertain you for weeks.
