I really don't enjoy the game. So I don't play it anymore.

PC / 4.5-5.0.

My only suggestions for improvement:
  • Give an option to skip cutscenes, at the very least as a reward for beating the game. If I've already played through the game, I've already seen them, and I don't like starting a mission and having to go make a sandwich before I'm actually able to re-play some of my favorite parts of the game.
  • As the first suggestion, make the mini-quests skippable after the game has been beaten. There are some missions in which I love the assassination itself, but can't be bothered to wank around town for twenty minutes just to get to it.
  • An actual reward for collecting all flags / genociding the templars.
  • If you approach the assassination itself from an odd angle, there's a bug where you can be locked into the scene and therefore unable to do acrobatics, but you're in a position where you NEED to be able to climb over or down things to get within range to start the actual scene. This leaves you completely screwed, and you need to restart.

360/ 4.5- 5.0

awesome game... it was slightly repetitive, but I just had fun killing everything in sight.
tsukatu said most of it already... and I think they needed a notice saying that there's a sequel coming cause the end is a bit annoying if you don't know that... but I did which made the end so awesome.

PS3/ 1.5-2

Don't get me wrong, it's a brilliant game... to begin with. But it gets old increadibly fast. By the fifth assassination I was bored with doing the same thing over and over.

Wait why are the DS and Mobil versions grouped in? They're 2D where the console/PC version is 3D and therefore shouldn't be grouped in with the scoring.

360 and PC. Thoroughly enjoyable, though I can see where they can improve for #2 which is already on the way :)

I didn't mind the non-skippable shortcuts because i've only played it twice.

A high 3/5. The game looks excellent, and the story was interesting. On the other hand? The tasks were repetitive and boring, and I didn't find it much difficult at all. In fact, the only difficulty in the game is that the more time you put in, the more rewards you will reap. My roommate has compared it more to employment than a video game.

As far as sequels go, the game was originally imagined as a trilogy, and I imagine sales were high enough.

Oh, XBOX 360.

I was extremely disappointed by the ending...Like Slappy says, the game looks great and the story was good, but in the end it just got down to the same ol' eavesdrop, pickpocket etc etc.
Assasinations were fun :)

Googled it, this explains alot. But dont click on the link unless you've finished the game, it contains spoilers.

Orange- N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.

As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.

Guiseppi- I'd much rather watch animals get boned in the ass.

Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.

Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.


Yeah, I use plastic.

Tsukatu- I hear Ebony Online is great, too. Cum save your princess, my lord!

To Quote Wikipedia:
Wikipedia wrote:Sequel

In an interview, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot refused to talk about Assassin's Creed 2, but confirmed it was in development. Guillemot said, "What we just can say is that we are working hard on the product."[47] On February 24, 2009, tipsters who were involved in a Ubisoft focus group reported to Joystiq that they were shown early footage of the sequel and it appears that the game takes place in 15th century Italy with an Italian protagonist, similar in appearance to Altaïr but more colorful, named Ezio. Gameplay updates include abilities to swim and the use of gunpowder.[48] The game is expected to be released by March 2010. [49]
Reliability is questionable; it is Wikipedia after all.

altair might not return

and the second is told to be around the 1700, the french revolution time i think

Thank god you should be able to swim in the next one. The episode where you had to jump from dock to floating wood panel to boat was irritating, especially with the damn retards pushing you in.

Anyway, I agree with Suki on the cut scenes and the side-quests. Also, make the mental citizens less irritating, although I'll admit it was fun just going around killing people after I had beaten the game. Another fun thing is to see how many guards you can get to chase you, and then kill them all using only the hidden blade. There are a ton of fun things to do if you're creative and bored enough (and you've already beaten the game thrice). Oh, and 4.5/5 on Xbox 360.

Xbox360 and 5/5

There were a few bugs (one was "dieing" but not respawning and being able to use eage vision and nothing else, another was I jumped into a haybail outside a city, but it bugged. I couldn't move, couldn't get out, showed me standing in it, and soldiers were stoning me to death.. except it didn't hurt me.) but it's still in my top-10 games. Actually top-5. One of my favourites. It's somewhere in my top 3 for Xbox360 games, but I'm not sure where I'd place it.

Not being able to swim was kind of weird but oh well. I kept jumping into the river in that one level... like 5 times in a row. <_<
ExüberNewsFeed: Exuberance is mostly <AFF> (Away From Forums) for a while, though I may still participate in epic contests/threads. When I return, I shall bring several comic updates (enough to finish season 1) and hopefully 1 or 2 games- at least one of which is N-related
Comic Activity-O-Meter: (how often I'm updating my comic)
(Click here to see what each level and half-level means in terms of updates per time period)

NOTE: If I just add a bunch of comics in one day, but plan on going back to normal after that, I probably won't update the status.
+ Dead: Canceled. Done. Maybe you'll get a random comic like once a year, but it's pretty much done.
- Zombie (Dead/Comatose): The comic is probably done regular updates forever, but I'll probably still add something once in a blue moon. It's still POSSIBLE, that I'll raise the status up, but not very likely. Maybe I'll have a comicplosion for like a week, then go back to being dead
+ Comatose: Complete stand-by. No (or very few) updates for some amount of time, but the comic's far from being over
- <AFK> (Comatose/Loitering): Stand-by, but you might possibly count on a few updates once and a while. Again, this is temporary
+ Loitering: Like comatose, but for short amount of times.
- Turtling (Loitering/Semi-Active): Really slooooww updates
+ Semi-Active: One every 2 weeks...ish?
- Quasi-Active (Semi-Active/Active): Averaging about 2 comics every 3 weeks
+ Active: Loosely defined status, but about a weekly update
- Over-Active (Active/Power-leveling): About 2 comics a week
+ Power-leveling: About 3 comics a week. Possible a schedule, possibly not
- Über-Epic (Power-leveling/COMICPLOSION!!): In some cases, this may actually be mean updates more frequently than COMICPLOSION!!, but I'm defining this level as a non-organized comic rush, kind of like a few days after my comic started
+ COMICPLOSION!!: Daily updates for a minimum of 5 days (since the daily updates started. It remains at this status until the 5, 7, whatever days are done)
