Editorial Reviews:

Assassin's Creed redefines the action genre. Assassin's Creed merges technology, game design, theme, and emotions into a world where you instigate chaos and become a vulnerable, yet powerful, agent of change. The setting is 1191 A.D. The Third Crusade is tearing the Holy Land apart. You, Altair, intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. You are an Assassin, a warrior shrouded in secrecy and feared for your ruthlessness. Your actions can throw your immediate environment into chaos, and your existence will shape events during this pivotal moment in history. Next-gen gameplay - The proprietary engine developed from the ground up for Xbox 360 allows organic game design featuring open gameplay, intuitive control scheme, realistic interaction with environment, and a fluid, yet sharp, combat mechanic

User Comments about the Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition

The game has awesome graphics but is redundant and a little slow at times. Overall it is ok and not a game that I would play through more than once.

I can only hope Ubisoft learns those lessons for its sequel's. Is it fun. A gamepad is recommended tho it's still possible to play with just the mouse and keyboard.Is Assassins Creed worth playing. I would have much preferred a little more dept to assassinations, AC should have taken some notes from the Hitman series for that.While the graphics are great, they do come at a price. In fact most of the game is not very challenging at all. The graphics are superb, and the freedom to climb and jump on just about everything makes the game revolutionary. Assassins Creed has alot of things going for it. There is little to no strategy involved, its pretty much a straight forward hack and slash kinda game.

Yes. Unfortunately AC doesn't live up to it's full potential.The biggest flaw with AC are its assassinations. Yes. at least for a little while.

I appreciate Ubisoft attempting to break the mold and do something different here, but the controls need to be simplified. You need a decent machine to run the game at an acceptable frame rate. Even the melee combat, while visually cool, is pretty easy once you learn to counter attack. I would not recommend trying to play the game on minimum system requirements.The controls are a little too clunky.

There is potential greatness with AC that just was not taken advantage of.

Going through the same type quests/missions in each city just gets monotonous and boring. Good graphics and it's amazing how you can climb and go anywhere. A lot of fun at first but gets old pretty fast.

For the PC it takes a lot of keyboard memorizing to play the game smoothly.

say yes if you think so. however, i own a mac and I'm going to purchase leopard for it, with leopard one can shut down their computer and restart it on a windows os. this game is awesome. my question is wether a game like this will work on my mac using boot camp. say no if you think not.
