Amazing Amalgamation of Technical Wizardy and Art!
Respectable effort for the first title in probably a sequel-laden franchise. The game immerses you into the environment and culture of the 11th century - the third crusades.
Its amazing that you can almost feel the crud of the middle ages in this game. How the buildings, the carpets, the wood the people, all of it seems so real.
The gameplay mechanics have been honed to a point that it is almost humanly intuitive on what needs to be done, either moving around the map.. and even fighting and eavesdropping.
A lot has to be said about the cities that live within Assassin's creed, you start of in Damascus where its predominantly islamic architecture. The details put into making sure the environment is believable is amazing.
The future of next-gen games is here within Assassins Creed.
