Assassin's Creed is the first game set in Palestine during the 3rd Crusade, and is the first game of the trilogy. In the game, you play in a memory of your ancestor Altair. You don't know much about him, the game doesn't tell you if he is Christan or Muslim, what language he speaks, or anything much other than the fact he works for the Assassins Brotherhood, however his name Altair means flying in Arabic.
BEWARE! BEGGINING VIDEO SPOILED IN FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH.
In the beggining Altair along with two other members of the brotherhood are sent to Solomon's Temple to retreive his treasure, but in the way is a enemy of the brotherhood, Robert, whom Altair tries to kill, his attempt is foiled, but Altair escapes, but in the battle, one member of the brotherhood gets killed. Your punishment by your master is to kill 9 enemies of the brotherhood, one who is Robert. For this mission you will travel 3 major cities of Medieval Palestine, Damascus, Acre, and Jerusalem.
To successfully assassinate your target, you will need information. To get information you can either interrogate people, pickpocket important documents, eavesdrop, or do missions for another brotherhood member in exchange for information. Wen you have enough information you can make your strike, and each level ends when the target as been successfully assassinated. There are 6 memory blocks, but each lasts a signigicant amount of time.
Overall Assassins Creed is a amazing, and wonderful experience that you will remember for years to come (until Assassins Creed 2 comes out, then you'll remember that).
