  • I don't understand why some people say the first Assassin's Creed was bad (at least from what I've heard). I will admit that it is a little repetitive, but this game is still awesome, just as the other installments. I can't wait for Assassin's Creed III. :)

  • This review is 100 times better than the IGN moron.

  • this is the best AC game

  • This games great 9 out of 10

  • !!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!! The ending with the whole magic ball thing turned me off the whole series. Too bad, the game was really great up until then.

  • @LOLz261 its called the apple of eden asshole

  • @MjrDario Your mad about someone else's opinion on a video game? Are you freakin twelve or something!?

  • @LOLz261 not really... problem?

  • This game was absolutely incredible back in the day.

  • I GOT THIS GAME BUT I CANT PLAY IT CAUSE I BROKE MY ELBOW!! UGH!!

  • if it wasnt for the good story and cool finishes for killing ppl and free running on stuff which was a lil stiff at times it would be complete crap. im just telling the truth!

  • ac1 was freaking boring for gods sake. yes you explore but the areas looked the same. poor disricit in 1 area didnt loko that different from another. and then it would have the same npcs in the areas ilke that homless girl who ran around saying stranger plz give me money over and over.

    and then u do the same missions over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and oveor and over and over and over and over and over and well u get the point

  • bums will push you around, peasants beg

    FUCK THEM they always screwed me up

    pushing me into guards

  • btw THIS guy only talks about the good and some of them are over hyped. it has a lot flaws 2

  • but THANK GOD its sequel is a 1000 times better. ac1 combat didnt feel that fuild 2 me compared to the 2nd. anyway yea, ac1=great story, annoying ass missions that get boring quick,annoying ass areas that start to look the same quick, and repetive gp but good story.

    i just had 2 say that

  • and theres not htat mnany missions! this guy didnt mention the fact that the missions are the same exact ones over and over and over and over and over each time u go back to the asassins place. but luckly once again it had a good story that kept me wanting to know more since im attracted to literature and love almost anyhting fiction. but im sry i just had to get it off my chest. the missions got boring fast, npcs were in my way most times. and free running on buildings was kinda stiff &clunky

  • ac1 was so boring for me. god the 1st couple of hours were good but =_= after a while im like wtf... im going to the same exact city, each one starts to look the same after staring at teh screen for a long ass time. and the same missinos over and over and i SWEAR IF THOSE RANDOM ASS PPL who need to be saved start saying thank u stranger i will tell my botehrs of your kidness blah blah blah 1 more time =_= id go insane. but luckly it had a good story.

    gp was kinda repetive though

  • Voice acting good? Everyone has a fucking American/British accent!

  • i have played and finished revelations should i get this game too?

  • @r0undst0ne Why have you even played Revelations or any of the other ones without playing this first?

  • @ragekage209 why not

  • @r0undst0ne Sigh -__-

  • I love this series but I recommend you play them in order otherwise you don't get the full story. I started on AC II and didn't much understand the background and so I went back to the first game except now I miss the better game mechanics of the newer game lol

  • Thumbs up if you're looking at this while enjoying Revelations in 2011! (or 2012!)

  • this game looks awesome when someone else plays it but when you play it it's somehow boring

  • 1:45 WTF? Soo...this game you're basically a rogue killing Crusaders? That sounds like....hm, a terrorist? oh, wait, it's for cash, yes? So, it's ....murder for money not beliefs. Yeeeaaah. Not better. Great combat, but how can anyone play this and feel good about it? Just sayin'

  • @elviade Play the game, you're dead wrong. That's not what Assassin's Creed is about and especially not about terrorists killing "Crusaders" for money. The assassin's are more or less the good guys, to tell you without much spoilers. The game is about Altair, an Syrian Assassin from Maysaf, and he has to stop these so called Templars who commit vicious crimes. But that's putting it pretty simple, the storyline behind Assassin's Creed goes much further.

  • Well, I guess I'll pick it up, then.

  • Good things about this game, amazing cities and sites, so much detail. Awesome variety of skills. Climbing buildings. Interesting storyline

    Flaws - really repetitive, same missions after about 2 assassinations you don't care about anyone anymore, awkward fighting, looong slooooow cut scenes. and lots of little annoying things during gameplay. Story development was poor

  • why doesn't he talk about the flaws? yes AC1 is a great game, and the flaws don't make it unplayable, but at least give a fair review and talk about the parts that need improvement

  • Speaking honestly..very honestly...AC1 lost its unique magic when AC2 was released..sorry but AC2 just doesn't do it for me..sure it improved loads of flaws..but its just not the same...AC1 forever <33

  • Kevin VanOrd knows his shit.

  • thumbs up for skyrim

  • I thought AC1 was pretty awesome, good story, and good gameplay. Had its problems but what game doesnt

  • why does everyone think that ezio is better then altair? ezio is built on revenge in ac2, but altair is a killing machine built on percision and getting the job done without being somewhat wreckless like ezio is sometimes. im not hating on ezio but altair is just a better assassin overall.

  • I played this game for 3 days I came back to it and all my save data was gone and I was back at the begining but I could still exit the annomus which you can't do untill after the tutorial level

  • Im so glad none of these videos I've seen have spoiled the story

  • I Just Bought This Game .. Wanted To Start From The beginning ... This Game Just Brought Me To A Whole Nother World Of Awesome

  • thumbs up for every time he was in a tower he was facing the wrong way.

  • I played the psp version.. this game is nothing without graphics and AI... awful controls and horrible gameplay

  • i kinda think that AC2 is much better than AC1...

    in AC 1 u only get to know Altair, the assassin...

    but in AC2 you get to know Ezio, the assassin AND Ezio, The person

  • i dont like AC 1...i mean as a fan i played it but AC 2+3 is so much better...

    but i like altair anyways...hes cool...but Ezio is abit cooler xD

  • I didn't actually complete this game and now that revelations is linked to it i feel I should get it :)

  • the thing I don't get is how Prince of Persia was amazing but even though Assassin's creed is great but it's is repetitive

  • awesome game but the controlls of the riding on the horse are terrible

  • We are all sad. Sitting here watching the oldest videos, and any videos we can find on AC1,AC2,ACB Just because Revalations is coming out. But you know what? WHO CARES!

  • i tried this game out because i was interested in it but i just couldn't really get into the game very much

  • @sakura9931 Thats not that abnormal if you really wanted to get into the series i recommend you play Assassins creed II makes everything more interesting. although i should mention that AC Brotherhood is fun but it doesn't answer many questions but you will undeniably be sucked into it when you see the ending.

  • This guy is so biased, he talks as if AC is the best thing since sliced bread. sure its a good game, but its not great. there are plenty of things wrong with it. the 2nd one is much better tho

  • @1999UTD I agree with you, I started playing the game yesterday, it is a very good game, but the only thing that annoys me a little is the fact that the missions are too repetitives, it gets old sometimes but nothing that will make you stop playing.

    I hope that the second game is better

  • @erickvso

    i agree its so repetitive it took me ages to complete just because i had little incentive to even pick up the controler

  • @1999UTD also the mechanics are a little annoying, you want Altair to do one thing and he does something completely different, witch sucks when you are running from the soldiers

    I'll beat this game already to play the 2nd one

  • @erickvso maybe you aren't very good. I've never had that problem. Just sayin

  • @eBraulick nah, no problem, I've beaten up the 1st one and now I'm playing the 2nd, and all the problems I mentioned before disapeared in this one

  • @1999UTD personally i thought it was too repetitive as all side missions are the same.

  • @1999UTD yeah but a completely new open world game? it was good... the others are better tho cause it's not as repetetive

  • @1999UTD come on, place yourself in time. This is the first year of "next gen" consoles : 2007. It was groundbreaking at the time...and of course The sequel didn´t exist yet.

  • @p1ngu1no

    i dont see how groundbreaking it could have been when apart from the presentation and graphics nothing the game did had already been done. its a bog standard sandbox game with medial quests

  • @1999UTD What about the parkour? 4 years later still fun running and jumping from roofs. The custom build engine was awesome at the time, but now is 201 and looks old...i have to admit that quests were repetitive and too easy. To me...AC 2 was the best by far. Better story, characters, locations (awesome Italy), and refined combat. Yet, AC it was fresh air at the time, (2006).

  • @1999UTD yeah..but at the time of review it was one of the game best around...then AC2 didnt existed...lol

  • @1999UTD look at the date...2007

  • @1999UTD It was pretty mindblowing, revolutionary

  • @royals1985brett

    i dont see how revolutionary it could have been. even if it was released in 2007 its a bog-standard sandbox game with medial sidequests. the presentation and graphics were pretty nice but the gameplay didnt do anything that hadnt been done better somewhere else

  • @1999UTD Even Skyrim's fighting technique doesnt compare. AC has had it down for awhile. Skyrim is like swiping air. there is no impact. Whatever have fun with WOW if you dont like AC then you dont like historical fiction and thats the best part about it

  • @1999UTD how will a 12 year old like you know? The game was perfect for it's time, there was barely anything wrong with the game, and obviously the second one was better, isn't that the point of making sequels? o.0 listen kid, fuck off good game reviews if you are going to criticize the games as being bad.

  • @MjrDario

    im 20 you arsehole

  • @1999UTD and I am suppose to believe a 12 year old like you stupid enough to put his date of birth on his Username, yeah fun fact, 99.999% of 9-13 year olds these days put their date of birth in their user name and claim they are 20 or 21... get lost kid

  • Comment removed

  • @MjrDario

    i was born in 1992......

    my username is a reference to Man United winning the treble in 1999

    You fucking retard...

  • @1999UTD you claimed that you are born on May 13th 1992... this is where you fail, you claim you are 20, but if you where really born on May 13th then you are 19 years old, retard.This proves that you are a kid

  • @MjrDario

    19/20 its all the same. i think of myself as 20 coz im in my 20th year.

    for gods sake look at my youtube page it says i joined in 2007. iv got videos of stuff iv made. you think i could do that aged 7?

    im at York University doing film, im 19 years old, not 12. iv proven you wrong, deal with it. how bout admitting your wrong instead of using pedantic come backs like "your 19 not 20"

  • @1999UTD Well done I must say, you have proven me wrong, congratulations... want a ribbon?

  • @MjrDario

    nope, your acknowledgement is enough. no go sit in the corner instead of berating

    people over the internet you little man

  • @1999UTD since when is 1 m 98 cm considered little?

  • @MjrDario

    you obviously dont get my point

  • @1999UTD im not 9 years old if that's what you're thinking

  • whats better assassins creeed 1 or 2

  • @jayd4ever In my opinion, the 2nd one is the best of the series, you have to try it to know what I mean. It has a special feel to it...like it's more than a game...

  • @archertrio i have played assassins creed 2 and i liked it alot one of my best games so im feel like getting assassins creed 1 now i got brotherhood too

  • @jayd4ever 2! But Brotherhood is even better.

  • @AwesomePeow no assassins creed 2 is the best one brotherhood was too short

  • @jayd4ever NO! Haha, but seriously.. I really think brotherhood was better, if you've played all AC games and understood the story, played all the sidemissions, dlc etc I have to say that brotherhood was better!

  • @AwesomePeow well yeah but i cant say i got the same excitement playing ac brotherhood then when i played ac2

  • @jayd4ever AC2 was awesome as well, and I can't wait for Revelations!

  • @AwesomePeow same here! there alot of good games coming out

  • @jayd4ever Yeah man! I don't got enough money for em' all.. Uncharted 3, AC Revelations, Saints Row The Third, Battlefield 3, Batman: Arkham City, Need for Speed: The Run. Man, I can't afford this!

  • fat boy doing the review sounds like he's reading about it. he sounds bored as shit

  • " Good thing the game is entertaining from start to finish"

    What!? I was bored within 2 hrs - THIS IS THE MOST RE-RE-RE-PETTIVE GAME EVER MADE...EVER!!! - This game is the reason why i don't get hyped over games anymore.

    "One of the best games of the year" FAR FROM IT!

    I got two words for you :MASS EFFECT

    It's a wonder (ass)(ass)ins creed <--- (There's even reptition in the name!)

    ever turned into a franchise

    See people Gamespot USED to be what IGN is today...

    End of unorganised comment.

  • @TypicalRandom oooh damn man why you just dont admit that you cant play the game and stop hating on it now i see you like mass efect well i've played mass effect and i say its a great game but far from beating assassin's creed

  • @MrNaikal You can't be bad at the game FanBoy, Anyway it's not me who's gonna be forking out 50 quid for a game that's already been released 3 times come Nov 14th...

    :P

  • @TypicalRandom i got absolutelly nothing from what you said please speak like a human being

  • @MrNaikal (Sigh)

  • @TypicalRandom your comment is the reason why i havent bought any assassins creed games and it didnt help lol

  • @TypicalRandom god forbid anyone has a different opinion than yours

  • @TypicalRandom Agreed. The game's original, but boring, at least for me.

  • What do you mean xbox360? this is just a normal review.

  • @SirBaga

    12? im 19 you fucking idiot. and by your channel you like talking a lot of trash on the internet, wow your really hard. probably to make your shit life seem better? yeah

  • Altair is better than Ezio

  • @aspasiz i wish they would show how Altair started to be an assassin

  • @TheBrandtular That would Assassin's creed "The beginning" LOL. Don't think it's out though.

  • @aspasiz wrong

  • @aspasiz how so

  • AC1 is the best assassins creed !!!

  • @SirBaga

    the premise is easy, but all the subplots within the main game are just confoluted and boring. i got the game because i like the gameplay. end of, twat

  • Awesome game, but the enemies are waaaay to stupid!

  • @SirBaga

    you know people only make gay jokes to make them feel better about their own sexual doubts...

    so dont do that coz maybe youv got a little gay side screaming to get out. and im sorry sir but im not dumb as fuck, the story in assassin's creed is complex and if your not into crusade era type rpg's then your not gonna pay a great deal of attention which means you fall flat.

  • @SirBaga

    you know what you call of duty hating arseholes are becoming the most annoying fucking people on the internet, yes i like call of duty, but what the fuck does that have to do with A.C ? and in any case the story in MW2 was fucking confusing as well. so it doesnt even work what you said. i had my point about THIS game, not another, you do the same.... wanker

  • i couldnt disagree more with this guy when he says she story draws you in...

    i couldnt have been more disengaged with the story. i didnt get it, understand it or even want to learn more about it. completing this game was an absolute grind for me by the end

  • Dispite That ACII And Brotherhood Was much Better In every Single Way ....... AC 1 Has SomeThing Speciel That I Dont Know That Makes It My Favourite

  • 4:42 Did he say its Altairific? XD

  • It' a pretty game, to be sure, but there is NO substance here; it is totally devoid of any kind of gameplay whatsoever. Assassin's Creed is a tech demo, not a game.

  • I'm guessing that inFAMOUS's climbing mechanics were inspired by Assassin's Creed.

  • @catholicgamer99 Infamous's climbing mechanics are not similar to assasins creeds at all

  • @poopamultimatepoopy True...maybe "mechanics" was the wrong word. The architecture in inFAMOUS appears to be inspired by Assassin's Creed.

    I say this, because Assassin's Creed was heavily praised for being one of (if not THE) first game(s) in which the buildings actually LOOK real, yet you can still climb them by grabbing on to windows, beams, etc.

  • THIS IS ON DS?

    according to google it isn't

  • @MrDerpgasm No it's not on DS. but there are 2 DS games of this.

    a sugestion so you don't have to ask.

    use tothegame. com. there you get some easy info and release date's on games

    and you can also see what platforms they are at. it's a great site

    Easy and it gives you what you want.

  • @andvas1994

    well only reason i asked about it was this video claims at 0:20 that it is (first game) on ds

    and also boxart of this game on ds at an ubisoft website

    assassinscreed.us.ubi . com/ assassins-creed-1/ experience/

  • @MrDerpgasm 0:20 he says nothing about DS man.xD

    and this game don't exist on DS. the graphics are to strong for the little machine.

    But as i sayd it has it's own games so that's probably the boxart you saw.

  • @andvas1994

    no no no no, not that he does

    see that thing with platforms it was on and its name?

    ds is on that list

    and no it was boxart of ac1 next to copies of it on pc and stuff

    just go to that website

  • @MrDerpgasm i see that yea... but that is a fail from gamespot.xD

    This game is not on DS. There is a game called Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles that is a prequel.

    it has the same boxart as AC1. for some strange reason.xD

    And there is game called Assassin's Creed: Discovery that is about Ezio. that's all you get on DS.

  • @andvas1994

    yeah okay

    i knew about those games

    chronicles on amazon, gamespot and gamestop are all identical but look nothing like the boxart of ac1

  • at 1:45 is that Saladin?

  • I hope that the old noteriety system from AC1 comes back. Its was so much better than the new one with all the wanted signs. In AC2 or brotherhood I kill a really important guy, and all I have to do is escape. In AC1, I loved the feeling that when you assassinated someone, the whole city knew about you. I would have to run to the assasins hideout, and fight half of the guards in the city, and then it was over and I was safe. I miss running from every guard in the city.Bring back the old system!!

  • Before i play an assasin's creed i was like: "ok i will buy assasin's creed 2 just because everybody says its good, why the hell do they put out a new game every year blah blah" After i played the game i am absolutely playing all the games no matter how many games there will be"

  • Ehhh the climbing is iffy. I wish it were more like Infamous, though i think this came first.

  • @XXDarkShadow79XX more like Infamous? You want to spend 3 hours to make it up one building? No way this climbing is way better.

  • @sasquath571 Lol look at what happened at the beginning of the vid in the bg. The climbing isn't THAT bad, just kind of wonky.

  • @XXDarkShadow79XX Yeah, they have fixed the climbing in the recent games, you can climb faster and jump up the walls a little.

  • i hate the game

  • nice game but terribly repetitive,kills all the interest, you do absolutely the same missions the same way, reminds me Burnout paradise, nice and original games but lack of variety just ruins the fun....

  • @carig121 yep and the side quests are the same thing. Sitting on benches, pickpocketing or beating up a random guy for information and thats it. you do the same thing over and over. It was fun for the first few hours but then you get bored out of your mind. The weird story as well.

  • Assassin's Creed 2 may have better combat etc. But I'm a sucker for a medieval setting and the Crusadesis my favourite events in history which is why I like this game more than AS2 :D

  • This review Was better than ign in every possible way. AmazingGamespot, Keep it up!

  • Brilliant game, re-played it about 6 times. However, I always cringe at Altair's American accent. It makes me very aware that I'm playing a game.

  • AC 1 still my favourite

  • @liverpool8994 I wish it was as filled out as AC II though. I love the setting and time period though...

  • Comment removed

  • overrated 

  • Way better review than ign! :D

  • i lov assassins creed lol

  • RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE

  • You said Altair's voice actor is the weak link, and while I do agree, on the AC nerd site it says that the english version of him sounds COMPLETELY different than all the other languages. I assume by "different" they may mean "good"

  • Comment removed

  • @Hernandez1Chicharito im about to buy it

  • I got this game a couple days ago for $7.99. Planing to play through this then the second and Brotherhood before Revelations comes out.

  • 0:46 ...sassin! LMAO

  • Did he just call the game Altairiffic?

  • At 0:54 the dead guard on the ground was speaking!

  • @DeathKnight2809

    lol the fuck?

  • @heheIvan Dude, at 0:54 look at the dead guard, its that glitch thing, where you've killed the guard but his mouth continues to move lol

  • The Voice Acting in Dis Game Sounds So Cheap

  • @Mrkpkilla

    So Does Your Grammar When You Speak Like This.

  • @heheIvan yeaaa smd

  • @Mrkpkilla 5 Years ago bro...

  • this game is ausome but when you have ac2 there is not much point in ever playing this again because ac2 is so much better...

  • This game is so cool if you follow the story. Do some extra research on the assassins creed wiki if your lost. The story is amazing

  • Assassin's creed 1, in 2007 whoa! This game is awesome! Assassin's Creed 2 comes out 2 years later, Fuck Altair.

  • picked this up for a bargain of £5 today, ive just done the introduction, the controls are a bit hard to get used to right now and dont feel natural to me :/ hopefully it will grow on me! :)

  • The story is SUPER confusing and it's boring

  • 0:13 lol epic failure

  • Should i get this on Steam?its on sale and i dunno if it runs well on the CPU or if the games even worth it.If the AC games do run well on the CPU,tho,should i skip the first game and go with the 2nd?(if the first one isnt all that good,that is)

  • @walkthroughsandmusic its a good game on PC but if u have the money and your okay with not knowing all of the story get 2 or brotherhood

  • idk if i should buy it or barrow it

  • Cool review, playing thru for my 2nd time, he forgot to mention how repetetive things can get

  • @thekillerwaldo and the screen tearing and jaggies, lucky i play on PC none of either

  • @thekillerwaldo I think most games especially sandbox games are repetitive like first person shooters ( shoot this person shoot)
