Optimus...can you say excactly what kind of difference you noticed between the two versions...??

I say plinter cell double agent, that was a joke on PS3 ( Not been a fanboy it just was shit)

Did anyone happen to buy the collector's edition and get a shitty 2 inch tall Altair figurine(with broken feet, so he can't even stand) instead of the 12 inch one previously mentioned?

Wow, this game was first announced as a PS3 exclusive, then it became multi platform and now it runs better on 360 than it does on PS3? WTF???

Dont believe any word you hear about one version being better than the other until you try them yourself :D

No. First it was supposed to be a Xbox 360 game and it was called Project Assassin. When they changed the name to Assassins Creed it became multiplatform, then a PS3 exclusive and rumors said that MS paid Ubi to make it multiplatform once again.
I am not 100% sure but more or less it was like that.

^^ its all BS lol dont belive anything you hear from Multi Format games companies

like konami lol

This game rocks, some of the best animations in any game, good graphs, and fun! not to mention saving civilians is the perfect excuse to kill soldiers, more and more... in 1 rescue i had to kill about 15 soldiers because i was running around and more joined, thing is, they respawn, so you cant wipe a city clean of soldiers...

Grift, I said TRY nmot BUY now didnt I ? :)

Sure the ps3 version looks great no question about that from a visual standpoint, but thats until you have a look at the Xbox 360 version which just graphically looks better in my opinion. Now thats in the eye of the beholder and I'm quite sure if there was no 360 version or people only looked at the ps3 version they would likely more than accept the look of the PS3 version, but looking at the 360 version I can't see it as anything other than the superior version.

The ps3 version's performance totally hurts the game experience. The Xbox 360 version isn't perfect it has its performance hiccups here and there as well, but none that I believe truly hurt the enjoyability of the game on the same level as the ps3 version of the game does. In that regard the 360 version is quite a bit better than the ps3 version I think. With the huge emphasis on nice fluid movements in this game it should feel like it has a set rhythm to it when you are playing if that makes any sense and the performance of the ps3 version just constantly gets in the way of that.

Now I know the ps3 isn't a weak console. I know that for a fact, but when playing the ps3 version compared to the 360 version it feels as if you are playing the game on a weaker machine and when you try the 360 version it feels like you are playing on a more powerful machine. To better explain what I mean by that I would say look at the 360 version of Call of Duty 2's performance compared to the 360 version of Call of Duty 4's performance. COD4 not only looks better, but it also performs better casting COD2 in a bad light.

COD2 may have seemed a lot more manageable around the 360's launch, but now especially after playing COD4, COD2 just feels downright unbearable for me when it comes to consistent performance. I have a very similar impression of the PS3 version of Assassin's creed it feels too clunky compared to the 360 version.

I haven't seen any slow down on the 360 version to be honest, not even when viewing the cities from a tower, guess my 360 must be a beast :)

Nah, same here Jollipop.

I haven't experienced any slow down at all, not once. Haven't noticed any 'tearing' either.

But, back to the game. Absolutely brilliant. Some of the clever tricks and features that are in the game, are superb. I've heard criticism in reviews of the combat system, but i think its brill. Very realistic, and it allows you to take a sensible or 'Rambo style' approach. ;)

Hell no it isn't :)

That game constantly dips well below 60fps. COD4 is locked 60fps constantly for me and thats something I can't say for COD2. COD2 is at 60fps often if not most of the time, but still drops to much lower way too often for my liking and it takes away from the experience.

I recently popped in call of duty 2 before trying call of duty 4 when I got it and the difference in speed is drastic. Call of Duty 2 would get bogged down performance wise pretty often.

What the hell Jolli your 360 is better than mine what gives haha :P I do notice slowdowns in the 360 version, but they are minor I think nothing that takes away from the experience for me. They aren't at all serious, but they are there or maybe its because I'm specifically scrutinizing for any little sign of slowdown. The game is butter smooth about 90% of the time, but then there will be that rare occassion.

Agreed, and pulling off those brutal counters is very rewarding. I think its a great system, its not as fast paced as other action titles, but it fits the style of the game perfectly.

Do not be shocked, every AC Collector's Edition has a beautiful yellow banner with those fantastic words "Not For Resale". That is for all over the world. It is a present from UBI. I don't know what the hell did they thinking off. Don't they know that collector's editions must have the most beautiful boxart?????
Well I think that I am going to search for a pdf of the regular boxart so that I can change it.
Just if you want to know Simon, here in Spain I know a lot of people who bought the CE and had send their complaints to Ubi. So lets hope it does help a little bit beause I know for sure that Ubi is aware that people are really pissed off.

Well yesterday I was in Damascus, and I kept getting heavy framerate freezes in the air when I tried to jump from roof to roof.

Not only that, but when Altair is in that blue aura realm, it froze on me.

And Phaethon, the guards outside any city will be on their guard, so you can no pass any guard without that warning signal keep beeping, its an hostile area and guards are on their toes at all cost.

Thats one of my problems though, why does it beep when you have done NOTHING at all :S

Was the statue a decent size, or was it a measly 2 inches? I was under the impression that the statue was supposed to be at least a few inches tall and was mounted on a base of some sorts.
