any game about an assasin or a ninja is always overhyped by video game dorks because the find those two character types so cool.

Oh okay. More reviews are coming.

IGN video review: one of the top 5 most disappointing games of all time

I just watched this and the review is pretty harsh.

Paraphrasing

"... this is a game you may want to rent for a weekend. You'll only want to play once and may not even want to finish it."

I was really looking forward to this game since last year, but will probably pass and just pick up COD4 and Rock Band.

Dont forget Mass Effect!

Re: assassin\'s Creed
 

I think I need to check this out for myself. Personally I loved Prince of Persia, and the similarities look good IMO. The three PS3 reviews I read (Yahoo games, Game Informer Online, and Games Radar) had it at 4.5/5 or better. The 360 reviews have been more mixed from a 5/5 at gamepro, to the mid 7's low 8's posted above. Definitely think this is going to be more of a niche game than previously thought. Probably going to buy it still...

Has anyone here even played it yet?

The 'free running' has been compared to Crackdown's open style much more than the puzzle based style free running of Prince of Persia. A plus or minus depending on how you look at it.

That being said, and the fact that this is being compared heavily to Crackdown, I think I will enjoy this game more since I never got a chance to get my hands on Crackdown.

[/ QUOTE ]naw man, that ain't me. I like Aliens, Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, and various other creatures from Imaginationland.

BTW, COD4 rules and I am sure Mass Effect will as well. I don't see any reason to buy this game.

Re: assassin\'s Creed
 

God I can't believe this is getting lame reviews. I thought this was surefire hotness.

Re: assassin\'s Creed
 

Just played it, and I kind of like it so far. If I had to rank CoD4, AC and Mass effect it would be like this though:

1. Mass Effect (I don't really know what to do yet but from what I've played so far this game is a hit)
2. CoD 4
3. Assassin's Creed, couple of bugs, and simply feels a bit rushed.
