The game offers something new in the field of gameplay, but repetitiveness keeps it from being outstanding.

User Rating: 8.5 | Assassin's Creed PS3
The game offers something new. Jumping on walls and swinging from pillars fluidity like a monkey it more than fun, it offers a new way to tackle the city. Jumping off planks 1000 feet in sky into hay seems weird at first, but the feeling of a close death experience like this is exhilirating. Getting to Assassin the target and get a beautiful and provacative cutscene that explains the pointlessness of religion is great. The only problem is all of it repetitive. It all feels new and exciting at first, but after a while traveling to each destination yourself on horse or by foot becomes a chore. Also finding eagle points, which are ledges high in the sky which assists you in exploring the vast landscape gets tedious. Then having to fight off 100 men gets annoying, but it is very fun especially on top of a castle.

Overall, the game is something new and beautiful, but everything just feels like a repeat of the beginning, just an increase in diffuculty. The thing is you are sent to kill a target, but before you can find his location, you must pick pocket someone, kill enemies for a friend who will supply you with information, or become a peeping tom. Everytime you are assigned to a mission, these are usualy the three things you will most likely have to do until you can finally reach your target, then you must travel back to your home town for your next mission. It is very repetitive, but if they game is played in segments, meaning a chapter a day, the game does not feel as repetitive as it is, but it will still be noticable.

The best thing about the game is the storyline which surpasses most stories is game. It is well thought out with twist and turns to keep you wanting more. It seems the writer knew a finger two about religion and social control because they were able to put them together in a game making it relatable and engrossing. Assassin Creed will make you question your real life choices and that is why this game is worth a play. Its hard for a game like this to dissapoint. The graphics are a treats and gameplay is addictive, even if it is repetitive. Worth a rent, and possibly a buy if this type of gameplay is your preference.
