Great Console Game...
Unfortunately that's about it. There are no other redeeming features in this game whatsoever.
This is a console game through and through, designed for children younger than 10, I'd imagine. Or maybe the target demographic is high school dropouts with I.Q.'s within the range of 50 and 75.
If you were thinking of playing a game where any real level of brainpower is required, then think again. The gameplay requires little if any problem solving skills, and its inherent repetitiveness becomes old, really, really old, very quickly.
In short, playing Assassin's Creed is like doing your own laundry the first time. It's new and sort of exciting in a sad sort of way, but soon it becomes a chore you just can't get yourself to do, even though you know you have to.
What a waste of time and effort.
