A game that surprised me in many ways

User Rating: 7 | Assassin's Creed PS3
This is the first game where you take part of the Assassin's Creed where the goal is to fight power grabbing individuals that brainwash people. You play as the character Alltair. Who is an Assassin in a order who has to redeem himself after doing himself and others wrong and start from scratch to regain honor.
The bad:
The gameplay suffers from clunky and doesn't always work at times. The blending function is also clunky making you blend in to the crowd making you choose not a route chosen by you. The fighting can also be very tedious at times and is just not that great. The quests are basicly the same through the whole game, the only way to get some variety is to do the sidequests. The alert system also seems to be lacking a deeper function.
The good:
The parkour is stellar in the game, and does very much right here. It is truly fun to run over rooftops and just have plain fun doing that. The story is also very good and has strong characters all the way. The voice over is good and makes them believable characters.

I would say it's a good story with great freerunning, but with quests and combat that is very repetative
