Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360, 2007)

I'm glad I was loaned this by a friend, I wouldn't have been pleased to buy it at full price, and then realize the 'replayability' was poor. The graphics are excellent, the gameplay fairly simple, but it just quickly devolves into a 'sameness' that's not very exciting, and can be somewhat numbing. The 'combat' uses the right moves, but the situations are ridiculous, you can be surrounded by 6 or 7 armed men, and still pretty much take them on one at a time. That just takes you out of the mood of the game really quickly, and you're looking for a first person shooter to switch to. I wanted to like it, but I found myself really bored, fairly quick.
