 - Best game played on PS3Assassin's Creed is by far the best game I have ever played! The graphics, the controls, the story are all seemless and enable the player to get into the game in ways not felt by others. Buy this game!!!! Rating: - AwesomeIf you haven't played this game, what are you waiting for, one of the best games of this generation Rating: - Foucault's Pendulum (HD Gaming Style) (Spoiler alert!)For those who are or were students of medieval history, in particular, the crusades era, will find this game a tremendous blast. This game is part Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider and Metal Gear Solid with historical context. Initial tutorial practice may seem a little overwhelming, but once you get the hang of it, it's a real joy. This is where the Ultima series should be heading, instead of limping out on a lame last entry. As for the story. This is where the fun begins for the history buff. The plot twists are so convoluted, I can attest it to being the gaming version of Umberto Eco's equally convoluted 1988 novel, Foucault's Pendulum. The identities of the assassination targets in the game alone, warrants research in their historical but yet vital roles during the Crusades and as well as their "mysterious" disappearance cum death (no thanks on your part, as an Even though the story takes place in the present with a mysteriously dubious company abducting the protagonist, Desmond Miles, a bartender for a scientific experiment. With elements of Darwinism thrown in (our ancestor's memory is embedded into our DNA code), using Sci-fi technology, they are able to access one of Miles' illustrious ancestors, a certain Altair, the earliest incarnation of professional assassins. He is under the command of Al Mualim (who I suspect may be the fabled Old Man of the Mountain). Through the course of the game, Altair is given 9 targets to eliminate, all connected for a single purpose. The Knight Templars figure largely in this game and also in Eco's novel. Both features loud conspiracy theories and also suggest that that the Knight Templars still exist till this day. Both game and novel also speaks of a certain valuable Templar treasure that holds the key to world domination. It is inevitable that a sequel will be made from this game, judging from its healthy sales figure. I suspect the only way a sequel can go from there, is to involve Altair in the search of other fabled Templar treasures like the Lost Ark of the Convenent, the Holy Grail, Mary Magdalene bloodline, or even the events of the 4th crusade. A worthwhile game. You wouldn't be disappointed by it. Rating: - ExcelenteEl juego es muy bueno, los movimientos son bien fluidos, se juega muy parecido a Principe de Persia, obviamente, en pocas palabras es altamente recomendable!!! Rating:  - All in good funNot bad all in all. Great graphics! The voice acting is OK, but the lead character sucks, and it pulls me out of the excitement and intensity of the game. The story is great, the occasional freezing is annoying, but once it get warmed up it's no longer a problem. It's fast paced and the realism is makes it interesting. The biggest set back I already stated, it freezes when you first start it up, at least it does on PS3, and the lead voice actor couldn't act his way out of a paper bag on a soup opera. Everything else is great.
