A major annoyance in the console version, players must perform tiresome investigations before being allowed to destroy their primary targets. Consisting of exciting activities, such as sitting on park benches and following old men down alleyways, these tasks were typically a drag, like being made to watch an episode of Murder She Wrote before playing Grand Theft Auto. The rest of the game didn't justify the amount of boredom thrust upon the player.
However, the PC port remedies this problem by filling in the gaps between the action with--wait for it--more action. Yes, action in an action game--who would have thought?
Rather than forcing bench-sitting as a prerequisite to murder, the designers have now allowed you to complete several other, less tedious challenges that fulfill the same function. Players will have the choice of participating in timed rooftop races, archer assassinations, merchant stand destruction, and escort challenges, in addition to the five previous tasks. All are fairly self-descriptive, and all serve to infuse the investigatory intermissions with some much-needed life, by way of death.
From a mechanical standpoint it operates well enough with a mouse and keyboard, though an Xbox 360 controller is of course supported.
Hey, I'm wondering if you can help me. I've recently downloaded assassins creed on PC. It was an .iso file. I extracted the file as it was too large to burn to a disk, it then lets you click setup, and install the game. Once the game is installed, i pressed on auto run, and it comes up with the options to play the game, view the read me file, quit, etc.. I press on play, but when i do this.. it says "please insert the correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application". Is there anyway i can actually get rid of this, so i can actually play the game?
Thanks
Scott
I actually first thought the min. system requirements were some of an early April Fool's joke, but now I see that it is not the case I simply can't run this game on my 4½ year old PC. I have been looking forward to this game, though. And I doubt that those who have a 1-2 year (new) PC will be able to run this game. Hence, I don't think that many units for PC games will be shipped. I could be wrong, though.
If PC games are getting more & more higher system recommended requirements, it really is no wonder why more & more people migrate to consoles.
Sounds like a pirated version. He probably doesn´t know that the first torrent based on the beta is incomplete and doesn´t work correctly
The only thing that is worse than a pirate, is a stupid pirate

On the 360 you don't exit games from within the games themselves, but rather via the Xbox 360 "operating system" (if you can call it that). Consequently xbox games don't usually bother with quick exits like PC games do. It seems like they didn't change the UI for the PC version and that is indeed rather sloppy.This video of trying to exit the game is so funny, I almost made a newspost about it despite being waaaaaaay off topic.

How the hell do you spend $20M (or whatever) on such a huge AAA project and then design some of the UI elements so badly?
Old post, but just saw the thread bumped and wanted to point out that this is incorrect. 32-bit OSes can use more than 4GB of memory, but Microsoft has intentionally disabled this ability in 32-bit XP (starting with SP2) and Vista. What 32-bit OSes can't do is use more than 3GB (roughly) of memory per *process*.the 4gb cap has nothing to do with Vista.
4gb is the absolute limit for any 32 bit operating system. Windows XP and Vista 32 can only recognize 3.25gb. I believe this is the same for any *Nix OS that's still 32 bit.
