Reviews: Assassin’s Creed

Gamespot has a review for Assassin’s Creed. The first paragraph sums it up:

Assassin’s Creed will stay with you long after you finish it. Here is one of the most unique gameworlds ever created: beautiful, memorable, and alive. Every crack and crevasse is filled with gorgeous, subtle details, from astounding visual flourishes to overheard cries for help. But it’s more than just a world–it’s a fun and exciting action game with a ton of stuff to do and places to explore, rounded out with silky-smooth controls and a complex story that will slowly grab you the more you play. Make no mistake: Assassin’s Creed is one of the best efforts of the year and a must-own game for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners.

They note that the game can be finished in about 20 hours, which is pretty short. Purists might be interested in getting everything though, and that will add another 30. The exploration sounds like it will more than make up for the effort. I won’t be able to play it until I get one of those consoles, but for once, it’s nice to see a title live up to the hype.

Here’s the final trailer for the game:
