Hi all,

We have just published a review of *Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut*

for the PC - if you could post a link on your site that would be very

much appreciated.

*/"Viewed from one angle Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut is honestly a

little disappointing. The PC version doesn't really add anything all

that new, doesn't make the most of the platform and carries over many of

the flaws of the original game. The //Director's Cut doesn't offer any

new content except for the new investigations, and these aren't really

all that great.

/ /But the game is still quite good.

The thing we really like about //Assassin's Creed is how good it is for

creating player stories. The open sandbox style means that players can

make their own tales in a way that makes the game great to talk about.

There was the time I killed the Mad Doctor of Acre by climbing some

scaffolding, assassinating an archer, and climbing down in to the

courtyard of the hospital. I leapt from a nearby chandelier and plunged

a knife into his throat, escaping through alleyways with the aid of some

vigilantes and scholars. It's wonderful and deliciously emergent, going

a long way to address complaints of repetitiveness.

In a nutshell, the verdict lies in a balance of these two opposing

viewpoints. Is / /Assassin's Creed good? Undoubtedly -- but the

//Director's Cut isn't a massive improvement over the original. You may

well love the new version more than the original, like we do, but the

route of that preference won't be because the game is markedly better on

PC. It'll be because your PC is markedly better than a console."
