When a friend first introduced me to Assassin’s Creed I was very sceptic about it. It looked good, but according to some gamers it sucked. Of course you have to get your own opinion on it so I got the game and tried it out. It proved itself to be a great game.
The basic story of the game is that the character Desmond Miles was kidnapped by a company to use him as a test subject in the “Animus”, a fictional device who can recall ancestral memories. With this device, Desmond gets to live out his ancient ancestor Altair Ibn La-Ahad in the so called Assassin Clan during 1191 in the Holy Land during the Third Crusade. He gets to relive all the events that happened to Altair and his allies.
Assassin’s Creed is a Action-Adventure game which the main goal of the game is to carry out different assassinations by his superior. He will carry out this by traveling to different parts of the world to reach one of the cities, and then find the Safe House where the player can start a mission. Despite being in the Safe House, the player needs more information of the assassination target, and has to carry out different missions, such as assassinations of different targets, pickpocketing, eavesdropping and also interrogation.
Side quests exists in forms of exploring and saving citizens from guards who harass them, and also killing different type of Templars and collecting flags. These side quests does not advance the story and are there for the fun (I loved these side quests myself)
Assassin’s Creeds main weakness is the combat system. It’s quite advanced and requires a lot of skill and patience (The normal button mashing technique doesn’t work as well here).
Apart from that there is nothing bad about the game really, but I wouldn’t rate it as the best game ever done. There are a few things that can be fixed till Assassin’s Creed 2, such as the combat system. But overall I would give the game a 4/5, being one of the best games for any system.
Can’t wait for Assassin’s Creed 2. Props to Ubisoft for making a game that beats out their awesome Prince of Persia series (Love those games too).
