In Assassin's Creed you play an assassin (who woulda guessed) Who has been sent out to kill 9 templars that wish to control the Middle East for themselves, and that's all that i'll say about the amazing story. The graphics in this game will blow you away. They are the best scene on a consol yet. The charecter modles look real and vibrant, and the cities are so well defined and apsolutely gorgeous. The voice acting in this game is great. The actors, from the Templars all the way down to the street merchants, do an amazing job of sucking you into the world. The controls of the game are filled to the brim. Every movement that Altair makes when climbing a building, or jumping from place to place is quick and fluid. The combat system of the game is the best system i have ever used for sword fighting. Every attack has a counter, and you'll need to become familiar with them to be able to take out the 20 plus guards that you'll be killing in a single fight. The crowd is probably the most next gen thing about the game. They react to everything you do. People will form crownds around you, and run for guards when you kill someboady, and will become the ultimate barrier and booster when trying to escape the guards after a successful assassination. There are a few very minor problems with the game, though. The first one is that Altier can't swim. It's not a big problem, and there arne't many places at all where this will be shown, but it's still weird that you're playing such a next gen game, and your main charecter can't swim. The other problem is that the information missions can get repetitive. I never personally heard this, but i know some people that have encountered the problem, and i could see how it could be one, but non of these insignificant problems should stop you from buying what is, as of now the greatest next gen expeirience.
