one of the best games I've ever seen!
When we talk about the character Ubisoft presented "Altair" I must say that they can not give any better characters for the game it is made for him.. his character, the way he talks, the way he walks, and even the way he looks is perfectly an Assassin way! He is a member of the Assassin's creed "Hashasheen" in the time of the third crusade before Saladin enters Jerusalem, He is a master Assassin who's full name is Altair Ibn La'Ahad, Altair means in Arabic: the prey bird, and Ibn La'Ahad means in Arabic: son of no one.
He was punished from his Master and the master of the creed "Al Mu'alem" because of Altair's greed and pride so he was demoted from all of his ranks and weapons and then he start to gain his ranks and weapons back as he finish the missions one by one.
Almu'alem orders Altair to Assassinate nine real-historic characters in Jerusalem, Acre, Damascus, and Masyaf the Assassin's stronghold so he can get his ranks and weapons back.
every single mission in the game has its own story and way of finishing it and its own difficulty but there are some things that you must do in each mission, you first must go to the Assassin's Bureau to have the permission to go and do your mission and have some information of where to start your search for your target, second you will go and eavesdrop or interrogate or steal information from people in cities to know more information about your target and where you can find him, third you go to your target and find him and try to kill him with one of two ways either assassinate him in stealth or go and fight your way to him which takes more time.. and both are extreme fun!
fighting in this game is very simple, easy and fun if you know the trick you would never die in this game.
you may find it a bit repetitive but not really its very fun, with great graphics (requires an HD TV for full performance)
now the unexpected thing in the story of the game is that when you start the game you will find yourself in the modern time wearing blue Jeans and a sweat shirt in a place like a science researching center and ofcourse now you will say: 'what the hell??!' thats what I said actually and all of the people who played it with me but everything will be explained and you will know that the whole game is in the memory of Altair's descendant and being used by scientists to know the place of a treasure through his memory!
