Assassins Creed pulls off a new and interestingly, fresh, ideas whilst keeping the pace fun, fast, and hard.
Assassins Creed has an interestingly enough storyline to keep people interested, you start off as a kind of "Guinea Pig" for this new device that lets you see into your ancestors memories. And thats all you need to know right now, story-wise.
The gamplay is where Assassins creed is at. You have stealth, adventure, free roam, realistic behavior, everything you need in an open world society game. Your character has to perform assassinations for your organization. You have three cities you have to go between, Acre, Damascus, And Jerusalem, all of which ARE MASSIVE, HUGE, LIVING, BREATHING, CITIES. When I say huge I mean it. The areas are dense and full of people, guards, buildings, and shops. The gameplay is fast and fun with and arsenal of cool weapons at your disposal, and each of them are useful, never dull, and serve their purpose, the fighting system is fun with a type of combat which allows for you to be attacked by 10 guards at once, and see, watch, and know all you need to protect yourself but without baby feeding you, you have to watch your enemies at all times and decide on what to do best.
The Assassinations themselves are cool with their own situational moments where you must choose what approach you want.
The Graphics are FANTASTIC, the cities are each their own with different art styles and architecture. Everything is detailed, to the last brick on the last wall.
With a fun and fresh game with great graphics, a fun story and cool ideas, you must be wondering, WHATS WRONG? What I can gripe about is that the save system is a tad annoying and the game's main story isn't very long, the looking around for flags and templars and stuff at each place makes for an annoying and unsatisfying experience in the end.
But with all it has working for it Assassins Creed is a great experience that you will love from beginning to end.
