wow this is really a love it or hate game...im love grinding so repetitive stuffs doesn't really bother me...how long is the game?

If you don´t care about secondary missions you can beat it in 8-10 hours.

Im a all achiever..with side quest??

You will have to spend many hours to achieve 100%. As far as i remember, there´s hundred´s of flags to collect, some quite hidden. The pickpocket missions become a little hard in time. There are some special enemies to kill, Templars if i´m not wrong. Ooh, i forgot to say that you can do almost all main missions in different ways.

i think to achieve all you need  more than 20 hours, not sure because i didn´t do it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! (what PS3 games do you own now? I assume you own more than just Lost Planet: Extreme Condition).

MAYBE if you own all of the awesome stuff (MGS4, Uncharted, LBP, VC, Fallout 3, Oblivion, BioShock, Killzone 2, inFamous, Ratchet, Fat Princess (lol), WipEout HD, Flower). After you own all of those, go ahead.

EDIT: I'll expand.

Assassin's Creed is not a bad game, not at all. However, it is flawed. Really, really flawed. Great concept, average execution.

1) If you're expecting inFamous-like platforming, think again. All Altair can do is climb buildings and hang onto ledges.

2) The combat system sucks. You basically just mash Square, occasionally holding L1.

3) After you complete an assassination, you have to either kill all the guards with aforementioned crappy combat system, OR you can run along the rooves, hide, and then find a hiding spot (much more enjoyable, but a lot harder).

4) You will be doing the same compulsory side quests AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN. The game gets extremely repetitive. Ride, Pickpocket, Eavesdrop, Interrogate, Eavesdrop, ASSASSINATE, fight/run from guards, leave city, repeat another EIGHT TIMES.

5) The cutscenes are ridiculously long and REALLY badly thought out. You usually have a crappy angle, they are extremely dialogue heavy, and you don't CARE about what's being said. This is true firstly when talking to your Assassin master, he goes on about nothing for ages, and also just before your assassination- the enemy goes on for 10 minutes about how he is so great, and then you kill him, and he goes on for ANOTHER 10 minutes about how he was actually (apparently) a good guy. This isn't like MGS4, where the cutscenes are enjoyable. The cutscenes are a pain, they're unnecessary, and they are unskippable!

The story is pretty good, the actual assassinations are fun, and climbing up to view points and seeing the city around you is pretty amazing. But overall, it's pretty average.

damn i really want to play AC2 with a full understanding :(

Get it man AC Dosen't really cost that much what do you got too lose,Personally i love the feeling of the game the graphics are really top notch..The fun thing about the game that i really love is jumping from building to building...the details in the game and the storyline i really loved it's a very interesting game so yeah buy it if your looking forward to ACII this year.

If you decide on not buying it, I'll give you a quick plot summary that misses out all of the convoluted crap they crammed in and will save you a lot of grief.

In the end, though, it's your choice.

i´m actually playing it right now, and everybody is right about doing the same thing over and over again, but you might actually enjoy jumping from building to building and stalth kill enemies like a bad ass, or be punished if you get caught.

all in all it´s a good game with it´s obvious flaws that you might overlook if you apreciiate every good thing it has going for it, so i recommend you to buy it , specially if it is that cheap.

Loved the first hour or so of it, once I realized I was doing the same things over and over again, I got bored really quickly. Its not worth owning, but is probably worth renting for a week!!
