"In Assassin's Creed, the greatest joy comes from the smallest details, and for every nerve-racking battle, there's a quiet moment that cuts to the game's heart and soul."
--Kevin VanOrd, GameSpot
"Instead of making a complete experience, we're getting a game that's obviously holding stuff back for the inevitable follow-up."
--Michael Donahoe, 1UP
"The sagacious story, incalculable crowd interaction, and unprecedented freedom to traverse the environment how you choose are landmark moments."
--GameTrailers.com
"Even though it takes a lot of chances with innovative features and an entirely new fighting system it does not follow through where it matters."
--Eric Bush, PlanetXbox360
"If you play Assassin's Creed for an hour, you will probably think it's a fantastic game. But as Assassin's progresses, its dual storylines and repetitive quests begin to grow tiresome."
--Hilary Goldstein, IGN
"Combat is either too easy or too hard, lacking the brilliance of a dedicated action title. And the free-roaming, bound as it is to mission objectives that would be fine in a more linear game, is just unsatisfying."
--Patrick Joynt, GameSpy
" There's plenty to like about Assassin's Creed in its awesome platforming system, awe-inspiring cities and satisfying combat."
--Andy Robinson, Computer and Video Games
"While far from perfect in the gameplay and graphics department, the game’s strengths are able to overshadow its weaknesses to offer a gaming experience Xbox 360 owners will not forget or want to miss."
--Angelina Sandoval, GameZone
"The game's audio is equally as impressive. Aside from Altair's sometimes mechanical delivery, the voice performances do very well to draw the gamer into the turbulent era of the Crusades."
--Eddie Inzauto, GamerNode
"One part of Assassin's Creed that really deserves extreme praise is the climbing engine. There has never been a video game that allows you to ascend vertically in such a natural and understandable way."
--Atom, Worth Playing
"Assassin's Creed falls short of perfection, but it's an excellent and highly entertaining game nonetheless, and one which pushes the medium forward in general."
--Adam Rosenberg, UGO
"The Ubisoft Montreal studio generates some of the most advanced game technology, and that’s evident here. Some design decisions hurt the overall effort, but it’s clear that there’s a lot of potential for future releases."
--Andy Eddy, Team Xbox
