Story - You play Desmond Miles who comes from a family line of assassins. As a captive using a machine to access past memories embedded in DNA, he assumes the role of Altair during the Third Crusade in the year 1191. The goal is to assassinate nine historical figures each giving up a piece of the puzzle when slain.Gameplay - Fun at the beginning, but becomes somewhat repetitious throughout the life of the game. I believe the main story is 15 hours long, but I have put in over 30 hours and I am barely on the fifth assassination (9 total or so). The controls for the free running is very smooth, very fluid. It is easy to pickup after going through the tutorial and playing for a few minutes. Swordplay maybe unnecessary, I found myself shoving guards on to the floor and killing them with the stealth blade or into market stands to be crushed by debris. NPC AI is very lacking in fights but fun to run away from.Graphics - Playing on a standard television set and the graphics are very detailed and beautiful. Cannot wait to see what it looks like on a HDTV. There are occasional clippings.Sound - With speakers that are attached to the television, the sound is very crisp. Can't really give an opinion. Replay/Lasting Value: Depends, for those that would like to find those flags and Templars, the game could last a while.Summary/Misc:Pros:- Great Story- Beautiful graphics- Smooth controls- Flag/Templar hunting for those completionists- Very fluid and forgiving free running- Crisp sound and musicCons:- Occasional freezing (Patch is coming)- Lacking AI during fights- Repetitive after awhile- Skilled acrobat/athlete/assassin and your character cannot swim...- Blending does not seem realistic. You have unconcealed weapons and are hiding among scholars.

Thanks for the review of the PS3 version. While I was reading your review, it reminded me of a GamePro review of old. Thanks again.

lol at the last 2 cons
when i firrst fell into ariver i was like "whaaa!? its prolly the weapons weight"
if you wana play as a good assasin you're gona need lots of patience
I played the game and I have to say I really enjoyed the free-running movements, since I practice "le parkour" I'm thinking this was a compliment to tracuers. It does get kind of reptitive after awhile (since I was up for two days straight playing this game) But It was enjoyable. I remember running through the streets of Jerusalem (away from guards) off a cliff and smack dab into a pile of hay, which was awesome. Yeah and you are kind of right about the sword thing It felt kind of like an after thought. But I enjoyed hearing my foes scream in pain and eventually die after I struck them down.
Click on atleast one....
