Famitsu Reviews Assassin's Creed: 37/40

As if anyone needed further proof that November will assassinate your wallet, Famitsu has heaped glowing praise atop Assassin's Creed. According to a forum post on the Ubisoft forums, Famitsu has given the title a very respectable 37/40, with the individual reviews standing at 10, 8, 9, and 10.

this review finally got me to pre order

[P4KY B]

I will order it tonight.

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

i wasn`t sure how this was going to turn out.

but so far it looks to be good.

[Real gamer 4 life]

Okay that confirms it assasin creed is a must buy.

[Kuest]

that AC is a seriously good game... congratulations!!

You made it.

edit:

what? what do "some other games" have to do with AC. Did you read all the previews? What made you worried in the first place?

Maybe I just don't understand what you posted.

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

alot of games this GEN look GREAT and sound GREAT.
a lot of games won`t be as GREAT as they sound.

assassins creed seem to be great.

but some of the other games that are supposes to be as great as AC won`t.

this GEN everything LOOKS great.

[mighty_douche]

dude i thin he was implying that alot of people lately have worried about AC, some strange previews have come out, getting gamers nervous. now the first TRUE review of the game quenches those fears and worries.

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

a MASSIVE misunderstanding.

move along.

[mighty_douche]

for EVERYONE....

lets try not to let another happy thread slip into fanboy hell huh?

EDIT: cheers kuest.

[Kuest]

I'm with you!

[King2008]

really had me worried for a little while. Definitely still on my radar. I'm gonna get my daughter video games for christmas lol....

[snoop_dizzle]

awesome

[kingboy]

oh no now i need extra money

[wolfehound22]

Glad Christmas is coming now I don't need excuse to go out and get all these game. I'll just get my wife to buy me them for Christmas. And my birthdays at the end of the month so here hopeing for Uncharted. I rent most games but a lot of the games coming out look like games I will want to play multiple time.

[resistance100]

Great Review.

I will be getting this game, but not at launch as theres too many games out this month. Maybe for xmas or in jan sales

[[email protected]]

Me happy.I can't wait this 2 weeks ^__^

[dale1]

is there extra content on the ps3 i seem to remember some one saying there was it might behind the scenes etc

[pangitkqb]

Is going to be the bombdiggity. I can't wait to pick this up. I just wish I had more money. How can i buy Call of Duty 4, Assassins Creed, Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Haze and Ratchet and Clank all within 5 weeks of eachother?

My wife is going to kill me when she sees our bank account.

[apoc06]

dont forget UT3!

=(

[solar]

a respected source with a great review squashes my doubts that the game was just over hyped. ill be stabbing bad guys in just weeks! joy!

[ThaGeNeCySt]

Only thing I'm not too sure about is no jumping... it would have more for a far more challenging game if we were able to jump ourselves... that would mean we would have to time everything just right and escaping soldiers much harder... either way, the sci fi twist has me intrigued... bring it on Ubisoft Montreal

[Batman77]

You can jump by yourself, on the X360 you press A and the right trigger and on the PS3 you press x and R2.

[clevernickname]

Perhaps I am just an idiot, but I see nothing more than four or five bullet points in this "full review."

Thanks anyway.

[RelloC]

the "Full Review" is in japanese. it is from Famitsu 360

[clevernickname]

Yes, I realize that. But if you cannot "Read Full Review" because it happens to be in another language and is really only a small summary, you cannot really read the full review now can you?

[MK_Red]

It deserved 10, 9, 9, 10. They gave it that 8 and made it 37 so it won't score same as Mario Galaxy.

Assassin's is a superb game and I can't wait for it. Neither should you ;)

[lil bush]

assassins creed, ive been wating for this game since announced as ps3 exclusive called " project assassin" so this and uncharted,and cod 4 for xmas i will be very busy this winter

[mesh1]

i WAS waiting for this game since they announced it as a 360 exclusive.

[xionpunk]

sweet, i just hope the controls arent too much like Prince of Persia, BLEH!

[UnblessedSoul]

POP owns anyway does anyone know if theres screen tearing for the ps3 version ?

[rushbd]

a video posted on N4G proved that. no frame drop or screen tearing problem.

[stuntman_mike]

@unblessedsoul

is screen tearing an extra bonus to buy the ps3 version over the 360 if so im getting it lol

[BLACKJACK VII]

Good stuff. Already preordered & paid for... LOL, I wish we had it today....

[aDDicteD]

cant wait for this one ^_^

[Reason]

The source is xbox360fanboy.com, but what console version was reviewed?

[buakin]

I'll wait for the demo thanks. Oh and if GameSpot gives it a score less than 8/10, then forget this game!

(yeah I know the devs say no demo (with a lame excuse); they'd better start praying the game gets favorable reviews)

[IrishAssa]

... just messin this is one great month for gamers ASSCreed, COD4 , Mass Effect, Uncharted, UT3, R&C and Haze , wish i had a Ps3 but i'd also be pissed not to have my 360 just for Mass effect

[InMyOpinion]

I was supposed to get a promo copy of it yesterday but they have'nt even handed the game out to Ubisoft staff yet. They could at least give us a demo of it on XBL.

[UltramanJ]

I don't look to any one source for my reviews, and of the group I do consider (as a collective group), Famitsu isn't one of them.
The latest issue of EGM had them getting some hands on time with a recent build (probably a couple of months ago), and it wasn't all rosy. The control setup sounds lame and cumbersome compared to the extremely simple and satisfying controls of their Prince of Persia games.
I'm not going to accuse Famitsu of blowing up the games score for perhaps getting to be the first big outlet to review the game, but I do have to wonder why a japanese mag of all places is the first to review what is largely a western game? Something's fishy to me, but I'd love to be wrong. Hopefully Assassin's Creed winds up being a fantastic game that even bests the Prine of Persia titles, but I have my doubts until I see more credible sources telling me it's the real deal.

[Leg-End]

but looks like i'm gettin it
thats 3 games in one month rachet, cod4 and assasins

[PS360PCROCKS]

wow. sweet!! Another $60 I have to spend, damnit I'm not rich enough for this anymore!!
