WP7 Game Review: Assassin's Creed (WMPoweruser.com)

A video review of Assassin's Creed for Windows Phone 7, reviewed by Andrew Bares from http://WMPoweruser.com

Assassin's Creed for WP7 is a mobile version of the successful platformer/combat console series.

Overall Score: 2/5
The game suffers from terrible controls, which ruins the entire game in my opinion. If you actually like the controls, it could be fun, but I don't recommend buying Assassin's Creed.

Gameplay: 1/5
The problem with the controls is that they are overly sensitive, which causes you to fall off buildings and platforms unintentionally. That becomes a huge issue in a game that is built around running on rooftops and scaling walls. Other than the controls, the gameplay is pretty fun. Combat is entertaining, and the action is well paced.

Visuals: 5/5
The graphics are really good for a mobile platform. It's too bad that the controls ruin the experience.

Story: 5/5
Though I didn't play through the entire game because of the controls, the story seemed to be well established, and kept the game entertaining.

Title: Assassin's Creed
Price: $6.99
Developer: Gameloft

Hello...one tip, try to user other thinger the fat one, and try to play holding the phone...maybe the experience is better i don't know, just saying this cause i saw other reviewers not having problems in playing it!...But I must confess this problem with the smartphones for games in my opinion ruins many good games, still if the price as a tad cheaper maybe the complains will not be so hard, my guess!

@liberejaguar Oh I played the game off camera, holding it like you normally would (in your hands, using your thumb to control the joystick) and it was still tough to control. I normally have no problems with touchscreen controls, but these were too sensitive and didn't work well. There are numerous reviews in the Marketplace which agree that the controls fail.

If you can manage the controls, then enjoy the game!

The game's controls aren't that bad once you get used to them. If you will actually get used to them, the game's enjoyable like hell! :D
