Assassins Creed is a realistic experience with great graphics. However, its repetitiveness can somewhat kill the buzz.
First of all, the game is extremely repetitive, you must do the same side quests over and over in order to assasinate youre main targets.
Second, way too easy, there is no exitement if you can always get out of the situation unscathed.
Third, unremarkable free roam, sure its huge, but the landscape is boring and has no appeal.
Fourth, slow-paced, there are millions of long cut scenes that end up just interfereing with the game (like metal gear solid 4).
And finally, there is a lack of stuff to do, all you can do is what you gotta do.
Okay, enough about why it sucks now and more about what makes the game fun.
Graphics are amazing, the level of detail is unparalleled and conveys the scenerys perfecfectly.
Its realistic, in this game things happen like they would, you can climb on ANYTHING that looks climbable.
Overall, your first impression of assassins creed will be great, but once you notice the games flaws you cant stand it.
Sorry ubisoft, almost but not quite.
