A. Controls can be slow/hard to get character to follow at critical times

B. Repeating gameplay/mode

C. Confusing storyline

D. Impossible to manuever around city in a timely manner due to guard attacks

E. Camera angles can be frustrating at times

I disagree with everything but B. Gameplay can get repetitive at times, but the rest of that is just non-sense, it was a top notch game.

It takes time to get used to it but it is a very good game. Maybe if you like shooters like Halo and COD4 then you may not like it.

I agree the gameplay could get a little repetitive, but beyond that the OP is wrong.

I dont agree with all your points, I thought the controls were great for example. But I have to say, the gameplay is VERY repetetive, the story was a huge letdown, and the camera angles were sometimes kinda annoying, cos i'd be in the middle of a fight and the camera would get stuck inside a building. that was annoying to say the very least.

i agree with B and kind of with C. i didnt really know what was going on at the end of the game but i went onto a few sites which discussed meanings of the symbols and stuff which cleared most of it up for me. overall i loved the game, i did get quite repetitive at times but since the gameplay was so fun i really didnt mind.

The only bad part is that it was repetitive and didn't have much variety in missions. Overall though it was an awesome game. The controls were very responsive for me, One of the best. THe character moved as i wanted him to. Could just be your controller or something?!

I really felt like the game has some potential but it didnt really get pulled off effectively. The repetetiveness was enough that I didnt even bother to finish the game, It just got boring too quick for me, but I still will give it props for lookin cool as ****! :P

A. DISAGREE -- I found the controls fluid and incredibly responsive.
B. AGREE -- The "missions" were incredibly repetitive; most of them were not enjoyable.
C. DISAGREE -- Although the story may not qualify as "epic" in scale, it kept me interested; I found it easy to follow.
D. DISAGREE -- Most of the guards are on the ground... so take the rooftops; Altair is near unstoppable.
E. DISAGREE -- I only noticed the camera when it would shift from gameplay to cutscene; otherwise, it was unobtrusive.

I don't think the game was perfect by any means, but I loved it. The fantastic elements were numerous and more than made up for the subpar aspects. Hopefully the sequel will take care of the problems, and realize the series' full potential.

i have to agree with all of your points. this game was so hyped and i got it and don't feel like beating it. if guards are chasing you it is almost impossible to run away. i'll stick with half life.

I agree with the TC i am returning mine. The beginning of the game was so boring and draggy, they just kept talking and talking and talking and i wasnt paying attention. The game play gets repetitive so much after a while it makes me realize this is a "Game" with other games i like to feel like im really that person, but if your doing the same things over and over you realize that this game is just that.

The storyline was completly boring and confusing, example the GS's video review said they couldnt understand the ending. The only thing appealing about the game was -

1. The graphics

2. The open world

This game had potential but failed completely but this can all be changed in the next one.

Assassin's Creed was fun and enjoyable for me. I loved how you are a stalker (Not that way) in a city, and can travel on the roofs and strike with warning. It's a great game.

I would only agree with B and C. The gameplay is really repetitive. I thought they would think to mix it up but instead its the same eavesdrop, interrogate, pickpocket, and kill everytime. Another thing is the story. It's not really that its confusing its just that the whole memory thing is stupid. Doesn't really engage you into the game. But other then that I mean the graphics are AMAZING it looks sweeeet on my HDTV. I think its worth 8.5/10 if I had to rate it.

Dont get me wrong here guys, it was an ok game. A lot of times however, I would want to break the disk. For example, you want to get up a building quickly because guards are throwing rocks at you (rocks....). They end up hitting you because there is a long pause in between one peg and another that is sometimes present and sometimes isnt. (Other building w/ the same pegs, I would fly up). This may sound nit-picky but it was a compilation of frustrating issues in addition to the highly repetitive gameplay.

A. Controls can be slow/hard to get character to follow at critical times

B. Repeating gameplay/mode

C. Confusing storyline

D. Impossible to manuever around city in a timely manner due to guard attacks

E. Camera angles can be frustrating at times

How did this game get a 9.1 from GS?

I actually agree with all of this and the only enjoyable part was the graphics and the abiity to explore almost anywhere.

I thought it sucked. I borrowed it from a friend and played it for couple of hours but gave it back to my friend a while after that. I see some people saying that you have to play for a while to get into it but it got more boring as time went buy so I don't care what they say. It is pretty much not my type of game.

Pretty much what I thought, more variety and assassinations and it would have been one of the best games ever. As it was, it was just great.

Zero replay value. Repetitive gameplay. Completely forgettable soundtrack. Counter-intuitive game design. By this, I mean the best way to go about the game is to run on the rooftops. If I fell to the road, I considered it a "mistake." Only when I collected the flags did I realize just how beautiful the art design is, and how it was mostly wasted.
