I guess reviewers got a taste of the true assassin (Hitman) and realized that Assassin's Creed was mere child's play. OPM and OXM clearly agrees with me.

OXM Asscreed score: 80
OXM Hitman score: 90

OMP Asscreed score: 70 (Dayum!)
OPM Hitman score: 90

Asscreed average: 75
Hitman average: 90


If you want to play the superior assassin game, the choice is clear. All rests on Hitman now for Goty.

Well no. Halo 4 will destroy Hitman mate :0

I think its funny how there are more reviews for the 360 version even though the PS3 one has exclusive content :)

Make way for Halo 4 now! All eyes are on you



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Here comes a new challenger?

Mario U

"Nintendo’s packing far more into this HD adventure than you realize. Far more.

When NSMB2 proved disappointing, I still didn’t believe its Wii U counterpart would save it. Yet now, after spending several hours with the game, my entire impression of it has changed. This is precisely what this franchise needs. It’s simultaneously respectful of its heritage while adding numerous new ideas in what amounts to a fantastic mix. In fact, alongside ZombiU, New Super Mario Bros. U is now my most anticipated Wii U launch game."

That's it? AC2 did that on the PS3 & 360 alone. This game is releasing on the Wii U too.

Well, it's not going to grow the franchise by a significant amount as AC is already so big. AC II was the peak, and even that hasn't reached 10 million on PS360 after three years (it's at 9.93 million according to VGC).

 The Wii U release means very little. I'd think it will eventually crawl past 1 million but that's it.

I imagine with the PC version AC2 did sell over 10 mil copies. Wii U, I think all bets are off for the moment.

Of course the graphics will be amazing. This is Assassin's Creed.


I never really thought AC graphics where amazing. I mean considering the budget they have the graphics in AC II and Revelations where rather mediocre.

Well tell me an open world game that looks clearly better then. The scenes that are rendered in AC are huge and they look great from every angle, even from the top of a 300 foot cathedral!

Assassin's Creed games really don't look all that great.  Good but not great, and if we are talking about consoles then I'd say Red Dead Redemption beats it.  If we are including PC then pretty much everyting.  Ubisoft sucks on PC 

You don't think this looks amazing?

Actually I don't think that either.



This is what I qualify as a good looking game


I'm a big fan of Assassin's Creed since 2007, but I have to agree with you on that. The Witcher 2 on the PC beats most of third person open world games by far.
The graphics are great in AC, though. But yeah, Ubisoft really sucks on the PC. Low framerate on good specs, unable to change aspect ratio and not so much graphic improvements.
