Hands-on Ass. Creed

All in all in then the breadth and freedom of the game’s worlds is staggering, and the movement and combat can at times be a joy. That said, our inability to sample missions, or spend longer with the game leaves us unsure whether Ubisoft Montreal’s ‘organic design’ mantra has really hit the nail on the head from a control perspective (do players have the patience to embrace this new scheme?). That said, Assassin’s Creed is truly ‘next-generation’ from an artistic and design standpoint, and it looks like we could be rewarded with a truly inventive title, even if it isn’t utterly flawless when it reaches the Xbox 360 and PS3 in a few weeks time.
