Beautiful game, engaging story, repetitive play
Assassin's Creed was unfortunately a victim of its own hype.
Though the story was superb, and the graphics astounding, Assassin's Creed's gameplay mechanics are its downfall.
Combat is boring and repetitive. After you get a certain ability, you are more or less invincible; the only way you could die is from your own stupidity.
Missions also become very boring very quick. Each city you go to has the exact same side quests, albeit in different locations. Unless you have reason to plod through each side quest (Xbox Gamerscore for example), there's no reason to waste your time on them, and suddenly the game seems a lot shorter.
Despite the repetition, Assassin's Creed's story was fantastic. If nothing else, it's worth rushing through the missions just to get through the story.
While I wouldn't have recommended Assassin's Creed to anybody at its $60 launch price, the current going rate for the game is a small price to pay for a delightful story.

Experience a beautiful game!!
Don't want to spoil anyone but I played the game when it came out and finished it in a few days. Just a great experience being in the town/cities and the outskirts while horseback riding. The AI are fairly smart and makes you feel the world is alive around you.
I had a hard time with the controls in the beginning but got the hang of it about an hour later.

Assassin's Creed is SICK
I waited until November 2008 to purchase this game. 1) I didn't think it would be very good 2) I didn't really have time to put into it.
It was well worth the wait. I've only played the game for a total of about 4 hours so far and I really appreciate the story line and feel of the game. I don't usually play this type of game but, I'll admit, this is one I will finish. The game play reminds me of Tomb Raider and Ninja Gaiden (the new version). If you haven't played this yet and your into this type of single player game, grab this one. The price has dropped considerably and it's well worth the low price.
