I'm getting Mario Galaxy and Crysis anyway. Was going to get Assassin's Creed, but not anymore.

wow whoever does their reviews really needs some work in the writing department. it was a chore to read that review and it sounded like a highschool kid doing homework for some of it.

Holy shit, don't they have editors? In just the second (run-on) sentence:
"really peaked my interest"

Not to mention the AIM-like lack of punctuation in their compound sentences.

Even though each different target is different it all feels the same...

each different target is different?

REALLY?

Dude, we don't have Fry's in Jersey either! I've driven past a Fry's in Dallas - the night before the PS3 launch actually, but they were closed. I've never been in one.

It looks like they have about 34 stores spread across only 9 states. Link

I wouldnt make the decision on just ign's review alone, they seem to be on the bottom end of the curve for this one.

I had such high hope for this game, it was a "must buy" for me after seeing the earlier previews, but now I'll probably just wait for it to be in the bargain's bin or get used one on Ebay for cheap. Another big blow for me personally:

These big open worlds, which are fully interactive, do come at a severe cost on PS3. There is considerable texture pop-in and noticeable framerate issues. Playing back-to-back with the 360 version, it's obvious that Ubisoft did not devote enough resources to the PS3 edition. The framerate is considerably worse, so much so that it begins to affect gameplay in the later levels. You can get through the first two-thirds of Assassin with the framerate being just an annoyance, but it becomes more of an issue for the final third of the missions.

Even though I have both PS3 and 360, I prefer to use the PlayStation's controller over the 360's, but yet again PS3 version is unpolished compare to the 360.

Heh, Gamespot says the ps3 version has a better framerate than the 360, and the 360 has better lighting. Seems everyone has a dif opinion

When it comes to PS3 vw. 360...isn't it pretty common for the 360 version to have better framerates (when comparing the same game)? At least right now?

No....no...I'm not trying to start a war here...I have both systems, blah, blah, blah...

Yeah it is mostly from EA games. Even NFS prostreet has bad framerate on ps3 so they still haven't figured it out.

What a bummer. I was really excited about this game, but I guess I may wait too. Not sure, I was really looking forward to this one. Damn you Ubi.

i got the ps3 version this morning...its pretty fun so far but i haven't played much.

on a side note, the guy at gamestop told me that because i didn't pre-order, the japanese were going to beat us. at what, i don't know. something about buying stuff without pre-ordering which i said i didn't have to because he had 8 extra copies of assassins creed
