It's an interesting subject....just Thief does it better

When a game like Assassin's Creed comes out I rush to the stores and make sure I am one of the first ones to complete it. Needless to say, this one just didn't do it for me. You play as Altair, one crazy-impressive assassin with an attitude. Altair is interesting but the game feels as though it leaves Altair behind and focuses on the environment more anything. Yes, the environments are interesting for me, normally they can make or break a game, but you also need substance as well.

At times Assassin's Creed just seems that you are playing through the motions, collecting information through series of timed events, killing your target, and taking the long journey back to your master. It gets boring. Only towards the end do you actually feel the unpredictability of the game. That is if not collecting information is unpredictable. Also, the foggy loading screen is such a blatant cover-up that it doesn't even work.

Assassin's Creed is a forgettable experience. Unlike other reviewers, I just don't "feel" the game. It could've been great, just it doesn't deliver for me.
