Rating: - i agreed with everyone else
Everyone is right about this game. It does get boring quick. The graphics are ouystanding, but thats about it.
Rating: - Gets old quick.
I play a lot of games so I will be honest here: the game is pretty fun at first. You do a lot of sneaking and "death from above" moves. However, the story itself is too confusing for its own good and the game gets pretty repetitive. If you own a PS3, please save your money for a game like Metal Gear Solid 4, which is totally worth it.
Rating: - Must play, gets old quick
Im sure its been said a lot, but this game is boring. Its innovative though, the missions are really inventive, but the game in it self is a really good idea and fun for 5 hours. Its just that once you get used to the graphics and the cool gameplay, it becomes a chore to beat. Thats it, you do the same stuff over and over and over.I think everyone should give it a play, its really fun for a while and the whole idea behind the game is new and very beautiful to look at. But there it is, all this innovative gameplay is VERY repetitive. Also, there is no skill level to the game, anyone who has played this game for a year is just as good at it as someone that played it for a week.
Rating: - gorgeous graphics, yet great game gets old for weekend warriors like me
Stunning graphics. watching your player move around is the best - every detail was tended to; Ubisoft treated it like a tailor would treat a Dolce Gabanna suit - wrinkles, clothes flow in the wind... just a awesome to watch.
Gameplay starts out great, but if you're a weekend warrior like me (play a few hours every weekend) it will get old after a while; mind you, it's a 4 star game: quality, and a great idea. But I'm halfway through and it seems a bit repetitive. Maybe it will change when I complete my mission.
I think it's a great game overall. I'd just like to try different strategies when it comes to an assassination, not the same repetitive steps like the last mission...
Rating: - rent before buying
Okay, so some people really seem to love this game, I am not one of those people. I though just based on looks the scenery was amazing but the gameplay was repetitive and rather boring. Anybody thinking about buying this one should play it first before plopping down any cash.
