As Altair rides his way to his next Colossus/ I mean, target, his horse Agro...
Assassin's Creed has too many spoilers to get too in to the story. All you have to know is that you have 9 main peeps that you have to knock off from existance. To do this, you must collect information by doing annoyingly small tasks like pickpocketing or listening in on coversations before doing the main deed of actually killing the target.
The main kills are worth the play since they're pretty crazy characters and make you think of how you're going to pull off the kill, my favorite being the paronoid target. How does this game escape the AAA rating from me you ask?
-I want to land my perfect landing....by myself. I don't need someone to automatically land perfectly in A GAME. I literally relied on the auto jump to target for ALL my chases since I didn't have a choice in the matter. I can understand the climbing...but COME ON! Jumping by yourself is a game freedom that should not be stripped.
It is fairly obvious that AC has been inspired by some giants. Shadow of the Colossus, Spiderman, and Grand Theft Auto.
Add that with too little interesting characters and presentation, and we have an 8.5
