Assasins Creed reviewed by Gamesmaster5! Awesome! This game gets better and better and worse and worse and worse...
Assasins Creeds plot is strange, its concept is strange but it handles beautifly and looks amazing. Possibly the best thing about this game is the main character Altair's ability to climb and jump through any situation to reach his target. The nice touch is the dive into the haystack once you get to the tip-top of high buildings. Also, the combat has a fresh approach that works very well. The cut-scenes may as well have the same graphics as the normal in-game graphics because they are both perfectly streamlined and break the barrier of realistic graphics into super-realistic. The kind of realism that is actually more detailed than the real world.
At the beginning, the game leaves you with a high and you say to yourself that this is one of the best games you've played in a long time! First of all, this game lacks RPG elements like changing your blade at your own will, changing clothes colors or gathering gold from victims to buy more items. This may seem needless to the plot but you'd be surprised how much this would impact the overall enjoyability. Secondly, the games biggest problem is its extreme repetitiveness. Every mission you receive involves the same information-gathering interrogation followed by a target appearance, a short cutscene, then the assasination. This gives the game no surprises or straying from the norm that Assasins Creed desperately craves. And because of this, the games lifespan is often cut short from boredom and its replayibility is non-existant. Thirdly, with these annoying nicks in the Single Player you'd expect some kind of multiplayer? You'd be disappointed. This game has no online or co-op play. reducing its lifespan even further! Making this game one of the most returnable purchases this year.
I know there are all of these frustrating problems. But if you can ignore it and have the time or patience or just enjoy its dramatic effects and enticing realism then its still a playable and accesible platformer all round.
