GameSpy's Assassin's Creed preview: "we're ready to believe in it"

GameSpy spent a day with the limitlessly talented Ubisoft Montreal studio this week:

"Five hours of unrestrained gameplay on a nearly-final build, one skipped reveal, and quite a few answers from Creative Director Patrice Desilets later, we're ready to believe in Assassin's Creed. This studio visit marked the first time that Ubisoft allowed outsiders to play through entire missions, rather than just the murder and escape portions of the game we've seen and played at previous events this year."

While GameSpy says "we're ready to believe in it", I already have all the faith in the world in this masterpiece.

1.1 - I'm glad you do, because I don't -

it seems a bit contrived like they're going for a bit too much and then you're left with a game that plays more like 'Tony Hawk' in the end? I dunno, the interaction seems a little too gimmicky for my taste and I don't see a ton of blood and all out assault on people, but more or less running, interrogating, spying, climbing and remembering the best escape routes. Not my cup of tea really, but I will take a sniff at it once released. Did anyone else notice the spire pop-ups in the city on the third video? It looked like microwave popcorn it was popping so much.

Maddens Raiders, I understand what you say and I'm a big fan of violent M rated games myself (Love Postal 2) but point of Assassin's is not violence or attacking people, it's more of a Theif or Splinter Cell type of game.

This game is going to be very good, especially for a multi-platform game. Thanks Ubisoft for taking your time to make a good game for us, it's nice to know that I can spend $60 and know that someone actually cared and tried to make the best game they could. I'm looking at you EA!!

6 - I am on the fence with this game

The graphics, story and concept looks incredible but the execution of the CPU AI looks horrid. To a point that it's almost corny / laughable. You get into battles with multiple characters and they take their turns engaging you? All the others just stand there and watch while you have your back to them? They could end you in one motion with their swords but they don't.

I am going to wait on reiews first. I doubt I will run out and get it day one unless the reviews are very favorable.

A pickup after a couple of reviews go online determining its calibre. Although it has more of slower gameplay ala splinter cell and not out and out action of fps/3person games like H3, Gears, RFOM, BIO etc. It wont be everyone's cup of tea. But if they include life size poster of jade then im sure it's convince quite a lot more ;)
