Assasin's Creed Review.
Not divulging any secrets, the game starts you off in…well…let's just say I did not think I picked up the right game. You are suddenly taken to a training-type level that starts you off kicking…or at least you think. The plot carries on smoothly throughout the game and there is never a dull moment. You can carry on the main quest, but what is the most fun part is trying to get everything completed in the game. Sometimes, just jumping from building to building killing everything in your path is a blast too (although you may have to suffer the consequences for it). From the moment you press start to the moment you get your last achievement for the game, you will be grinning ear to ear.
The graphics are flawless. Nothing acts strange or feels weird, because everything you see...well, you can go to it and climb it! Looking around at architecture and people in the game and seeing it in all its shining, shaded-pixel beauty almost brings a tear to any gamer's eye. This is a 360 game, so what did you expect as far as graphics, but the scenes are so lush and beautiful (in an assassin-y way of course), that you will feel like you can stick you hand through the screen and get stabbed by Altair's hidden blade yourself.
The crowd reactions are where this game really shines. Everything you do, and I mean everything you do, someone sees it and will react accordingly. You bump in to someone, they might grunt back. You shove someone, they might shove back. You kill someone…well; let's just say it will not go unnoticed. Even jumping from building to building, you can hear people yelling "He's going to get hurt up there!" which adds a little cherry to the top of this beautiful Assassin's Creed Sundae.
All bad analogies aside, the game is brilliant. The repetitiveness may get to you sooner than you'd like, but if you can look past that you can truly see all that this game has to offer. The graphics, physics, and crowd reaction all blend ever-so smoothly for a game that you don't want to miss. Don't be expecting this game to be in the Bargain Bin anytime soon. 9.5 out of 10.
