hello beautiful.
From the inovative controls to the gorgeous scenery around you, this game will be the most fun you can have. Assassin's creed pretty much opens the world up to you and says "ok, here, you take the wheel. Decide where to go, how to get there, how long you will take and what you will do first when you get there." That sort of player friendly controls make the game all the better.
The main story itself is a tad short but there's plenty of little side quests that will keep you occupied for hours. And I would have never thought that climbing a top of a huge building to look at the city below you would be that much fun.
The combat is fast paced and fun without being overbearing and leaving you feeling like you're completely outmatched.
I'll admit, the game has its kinks. The slightly repetetive voice acting of the townspeople is a minus, especially when hearing "thief, I'll have your hand for that!" for the 15th time in the span of 20 minutes. Altair's voice itself is a bit too boring and dry. The game itself occasionally glitches, but that may be because it's kept on for hours at a time in my case.
All in all, an awesome, exciting game with gorgeous graphics and inovative controls and a kink here and there., but in comparison, those can be overlooked.
