Assassin's Creed Game Informer Review - 9.5

If only to experience the unique world and amazing movement and combat, gamers owe it to themselves to try Ubisoft's big holiday release. Its stunning visual style, high concept story, and wildly open level design are like nothing else, even if too much repetition begins to frustrate in the later hours. It's a game people will still be talking about five years from now. Come to think of it, they may have a lot more to talk about by then.

9.5 / 10

Holy Moly ZOMG! Superb awesome find. Seriously. Superb review. GameInformer FTW! Assassins FTW!
An open world / sandbox game that innovates and has superb graphics and production values. A true masterpiece.

The game is longer than 10 hours and it's replay value is "REPLAY: High" and it has no multi! Wow, my definit 2007 GOTY, At least based on this:
"a title that innovates in so many areas it helps to set a new bar in various aspects of gameplay, storytelling, visuals, and controls. "

Now this is a true next-gen game. Innovative, awesome and fun.

This is exactly how I feel right now... I fell in love with this game and was jealous of PS3 owners when i first learned of Project Assassin... then it became multiplatform and I was excited... then previews and the E3 mishap made me lose almost all interest in the game... but now after this review... my interest has SKYROCKETED

It's more than great that all PC, PS3 and 360 gamers can enjoy this masterpiece :)

The special thing for me is that GameInformer is my fave review source and I believe in their reviews and scores more than all other source combined. I absolutly wasn't expecting their review so soon. Thought it's another Halo 3 / COD4 case that reviewers have to hold onto their articles and publish them just when the game comes out.

Kudos to Ubisoft, Game Informer, Jade Raymond and her excellent and talented team.

AC was my most anticipated game of 2007 and what I saw in GDC and even E3 was more than enough to convince me that this is a masterpiece. The reason I said GOTY based on 1 review is that all my review need to decide about a game is Game Informer. The only source I trust with reviews and when they say it's a superb game I believe them. I don't care what GameSpot, IGN, 1UP and rest of the pact say in near future. They all have more than one dark point in their histories.

And one review from Game Informer is worth more than reviews of GameSpot, IGN, 1UP, GT, GPro and EGM combined so... yes based on this review, Assassins should be GOTY! (God I love this game...)

We did read that, Violater, and other than that sentence, and references to it later on, the review was glowing. The score speaks for it, of course.

You know how old that article was about 360>PS3 on AC? It came out on Sept of 2006! More than an year old, and that was during a Xbox convention, so no wonder they were praising the 360 more, for they are being paid to do so. Also, all the newer game play vids are now being recored on the PS3...you can tell by the button icons.
