Decent story, good controls, nice game.

At first I was turned off by the future twist to the storyline - but later by the end of the game I was annoyed. They make you think you are going to get some place in the office area early on as a motivational tool, but really its disappointing when you don't. Either way the game is very lovely when it comes to the control scheme of things, the world is nice - the NPC's which all react to you're movements is also a good touch, you now have to work your way around crowds of people rather then just run into them, unless you want to tackle everyone and throw them from your way. The game is interesting mainly because it doesn't force you down any path - You can be that silent assassin leaping in for a fast, true stealth kill, or you can try to walk into the front door, kill everyone thats in your way - and then hunt down your target. The story ended with them setting up for Assassin's Creed 2 - which is abit of a let down for me really. Being able to step back into memory without starting entirely over would have been lovely as well, some of us (as I did) didn't complete every task or grab EVERY flag... and its rather annoying to do this in my opinion without a guide book. I dislike how companies put objects all over the map to encourage exploration - they should find another means. Altairs movements are solid if you are good with the controls, and while he remains to have a human feel - he also is quick, stylish, and cunning - all of which adds to a good feeling for a player which has control over him.
Pros : Good controls, sounds, visuals, world detail, combat system, free-run system, and assassination system.
Cons : Annoying NPCs - they talk to much when you save them, and you are forced to stick around and listen. Crappy, confusing ending. Collecting flags is annoying.
