Best action game ever.Despite the repetitive scenes it's very entertaining,graphics are amazing,realistic combat moves.
The graphics are first thing that will grab you by the neck and throw you off the chair, I don't know how they did it, but the result is fantastic, surprisingly though for Ubisoft, who sometimes used to relese not so great games ( starting with Splinter Cell Double Agent ) and ultra-end requierments lately.
But the graphics don't make it original, it's the combat dynamics and physics. Do you remember all the "great" RPG, RTS and action games ( excluding Splinter Cell series ) which are based on a dumb muppets style combat physics ( ex : WOW, Oblivion, Star Wars and so on ), where the character just swings the melee weapon towards the opponent like he/she has no brains or a serious movement disorder. Well, AC will offer you a combat experience never seen before in pc action games. Altair's moves are very realistic, precisely executed, designed to show you his high skill and training as an elite warrior. The counter attack moves of Altair are the juice of the game, mind-blowing fast-paced scenes with impressive simulation of real face2face combat, not like you used to see in all the other games : player with highest damage and longer heatlh bar wins...that is boring...playing WOW for months/years and executing the same melee combat moves over and over again ( I'm saying this because there are some persons saying that AC is boring and repetitive ).
In addition to all that we have the complex and entertaining story and the relatively non-linear gameplay, meaning that you can explore the world and complete secondary objectives whenever you like, which gives you the opportunity to blend in inside a city and understand the ways of the game, learning what to do, when and how to do it.
Now, everyone has the right to his/her personal opinion accordingly to their own tastes, some might find this game good or best others may not. But I assure you, it is one of that kind that you must try at least, 'cause damn....it's a fine game folks.
