Very impressive! The game brings new real meaning to the term ''artificial intelligence''. Phenomenal title no doubt!
so it means artificial intelligence. and ubisoft has created exactly that. the crowd dynamic alone (tho mundane sounding) is amazing in the way it integrates into your every move. the enemy a.i. is so intuitive, it'll make you look at real life strangers in a different way, wondering if they know what ur up to...not that ur up to sumthin. heheh.
alright. my second favorite point of the game has to be the control. of course it's smooth as silk and deep and complicated (which it needs to be for any gamer worth his salt). however, every game of this ilk has always had the same problem.
here's the deal: there was once an accepted axiom in game design. you can make a stealth game, OR you can make an action game. there is a general formula that works exceptionally well for each. but when you try to do both in the same game, invariably one or the other engine suffers in depth as a result of console and hardware processing limitations (or bad designers who get lazy). heheh.
bottom line is very few games have ever managed to integrate both schools well.
creed does. with the simple press of a trigger, you swap to completely separate control schemes for action or stealth. this isn't the gist of the whole game but is a beautiful little window into how well ubisoft designed integration for everything within the game. it is stellar, just stellar. well done ubisoft!
