"There are few differences between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. PS3 owners are blessed with a slightly more solid frame rate, although the 360 version features a little more contrast in the lighting, so it's pretty much a wash."
--Kevin VanOrd, GameSpot
|
"Despite Assassin's Creed's smooth, almost deft controls and not infrequently gorgeous, gritty ancient urban settings, it is ultimately a game by rote, not salvaged by a compelling story and also burdened with a shell plot that is both trite and superfluous."
--Sanford May, Worth Playing
|
"So is Assassin's Creed as awesome as I wanted it to be? No. But it's a game that attempts a lot of major development moves and it shows a lot of promise, even if it isn't always executed well."
--Dana Jongewaard, GameTap

"Although Assassin's Creed isn't a bad game, it's certainly not the game we were hoping for and ultimately it comes as one of the year's biggest disappointments."
--Chris Leyton, Total Video Games
|
"Assassin’s” is terrific entertainment for perhaps the first couple hours, as you free-run frolic and notice sparkling little tweaks to generic third-person action."
--Ryan Pearson, Wham!Gaming
|
"It almost seems as if the humungous world they created and the idea that lies beneath the premise was too big to embrace; it was simply beyond current development possibilities. On the other hand, Ubisoft Montreal did come close, which means we end up with a great game."
--Ben Dutka, PSX Extreme
|
"Assassin's Creed falls short of perfection, but it's an excellent and highly entertaining game nonetheless..."
--Adam Rosenberg, UGO
|
"You'll truly get lost in the gorgeous settings and busy city scenes. The frame rate is fantastic and the only glitches you'll experience are those placed in the game on purpose, in order to maintain the specter of futuristic gloom."
--Jonathan Marx, Cheat Code Central
