Assassin's Creed was surely born to be a masterpiece...but is it (a masterpiece) after all?
Story: The story is engaging. It is a nice setup but a bit conventional. I don't want SPOIL this for you so I don't say much.
Gameplay: well the fact that the gameplay is somewhat "do over and over" is not deniable but the fact that how much you enjoy doing it over and over will surely determine your interest in playing the game. I personally never got tired of moving across the rooftops, eavesdroping, pick pocketing, interrogating, doing some challenges and finally assassinating my target. The detail and the story won't let you feel tired and rather reluctant to play.
The battles are not challenging at all! you have two counter moves that is enough for one ARMY of enemy soldiers! But it is fun if enjoy fighting with a sword as much as I do!
Graphics: One word : GREAT! after Crysis this is by far the only game that shows you this much detail in the scenes.
Sound: anothre great factor in this game. voice acting is superb and so is the music. the sound of people walking in the street may get repetitive very soon but the quality of the dialogs may still make up for the fact that there should have been more street voices in the game's database. I mean people voices like beggers, preachers,etc.
Value and Tilt for this game are user varied. For me, it surely is higher than 8.
If you like a combination of Hitman, GTA and Prince of Persia with an all new feel and sense of atmosphere into it, AC is surely your type of game.
