Assassin's Creed

It suffers from the same issues as ACII, but is much more barebones by comparison. Like most AC games, the setting and premise are cool but all of the mechanics it utilizes are poorly designed and the general structure of the game is boring as hell. the first AC is even worse because at least ACII had a likable protagonist, this game doesn't even have that.

I'd travel back in time to stop this game before I'd football baby Hitler through a window. It gets SO BAD.

One of a handful of games that I tried to play on PC before realizing my computer's gaming ability sucked ass through a bendy straw. Playing it on console after the fact revealed I wasn't missing much

A great concept and a good looking game. I'm a sucker for anything time travel related. The mechanics worked well enough but the game play was so repetitive that I lost interest and didn't complete the game (the only one in the series I failed to finish) A good stepping stone for the series, but all future games would easily dwarf this one.

A very promising game that is let down by repetitive quests and underdeveloped gameplay. Still, I can see this engine being a major factor in a much better game. Might still be worth playing as a time-capsule type game.

While it probably had the best story in the series, it's gameplay is monontous and almost unplayable if you've played any of the other titles in the series. It plays more like a rough-around-the-edges tech demo than the highly refined parkour mechanics of its sequels.

good enough game. love the protagonist.

The team behind the Prince of Persia series (which this notionally started development as one of) continue to be masters of stylish and clever presentation, and climbing around the sprawling maps was a strong hook for the time (even if the climbing and maps have been done better since). The stealth and combat, though, are very simple, and need to be run through ad nauseum to advance a less than compelling plot, since there's just plain nothing else to do other than clamber around because you can

unique in style, locale, and gameplay but feels half-baked and monotonous especially in comparison to its superstar sequel

This was revolutionary for me at the time of release. I played through it multiple times and even collected all the flags and collectibles which weren't easily trackable in-game. I still think it holds up really well as it has one of the best stories, characters and atmospheres in any Assassin's Creed game.

Good game. Big flaw you couldn't go in the water

loved it a lot back then so wish i played 2 back then cuz i hear it got way better. i loved the story and concept. i loved how the story progressed through killing and unlocking cinematics and shit. but it was way too repetitive doing the same shit every new place you went. but the combat and parkour was groundbreaking

Good game, but gets really repetitive

HD Graphics: The Game.

Repetitive and shallow.

I didn't care about Altair at all and that limited the journey somewhat, but on the opposing side, we start to get intrigue as Desmond is being captured, manipulated and whatnot in this title. Ending has a nice cliffhanger even if the buildup's a bit uneven.

It's not a surprise that this spawned one of the biggest franchises in modern gaming, but the original is pretty stark compared to what Ubisoft shoved into later installments. It's really just a forgettable stealth game with a neat historical skin thrown on it.

The gameplay was innovative once upon in the time. The general plot it's trash but we know it now, then there was at least the hope that it was something interesting.

Its a testament to the game's world building, brilliant atmosphere (for the time) and fun parkour navigation, that it''s less-than inspired and repetitive gameplay didn't turn me off from playing through it more than once.

Back before there were tons of endless Assassin's Creed sequels, this was actually pretty new and unique. The backstory was interesting, however with the endless sequels it never actually went anywhere...

[PS3] While the first game lacks depth in terms of its story, it was an visual masterpiece that showcased the ability of the newly released PS3. While it might feel dated now, and while the gameplay can get a little repetitive, on release it was one of the most immersive games of its time.
