Great stealth action and incredible gameplay make this one of the top games of 2007.
User Rating: 8 | Assassin's Creed X360
Assassin's Creed is best summed up as an amazing stealth action game, though it's hard to categorize this game in any single genre. The setting is so fresh, and the world is so rich and beautiful that you really feel immersed in the crusades-era story. The combat starts out simple enough as to be immediately accessible, and as you adjust it adds more depth until becomes an intricate and elegant dance of death which stays exciting. The climbing mechanic is superb. Like many elements in the game it is at first easy to understand and learn, and it only improves as the environments you encounter force you to be more creative and tactical in your climbing. The horse-riding is also a very nice touch, and though it doesn't play a huge part in the game it really helps to mix up the city sequences as you gallop through the country side at break-neck speeds with sword drawn towards your next target.
The only downsides to Assassin's Creed are that the story is a bit convoluted towards the end and the lack of a multiplayer component to keep you coming back after a play through.
