The best damn Assassin game ever
First off Assassin's Creed is one of the greatest games of all time. It is extremely fun and easily accessible for new players but is also fun for long time players and any fan of prince of persia or similar games can enjoy this game. This game raises the bar for for what the new consoles can do. The story is just as amazing as the gameplay because the story is well written and the voice actors except maybe the voice actor playing Altier because he does not sound like an arab voice or something like that.
In Assassin's Creed, two different story lines tie everything together. In the modern world a normal bartender named Desmond Miles who gets kidnapped by some medicine company. You find out that our DNA houses the memories of our ancestors. In the case of Desmond his ancestor that warren and lucy, two of the scientists studying Desmond, are studying Altier a master Assassin who gets stripped of his rank at the beggining of the game and has to work to get back to the top. Sort of like metroid at the beggining you have all your stuff and then later you eventually have nothing. This game also features parkour which is a french sport where you have to jump from building to building and other crazy stuff like that and it is really easy but its also really fun. One of the craziest things i did is jump from one building to another but the buildings where 10 yards apart.
The combat in Assassin's Creed is really fun to do. At first it's just simple button mashing but when you get your rank up you will get the ability to counter. Countering is very important because its one hit kill and you have to really rely on your counter ability when facing a bunch of enemies at once. Although fighting is fun it's probably not the best way to take out your target. This game is mainly about being stealthy and one way to kill your target in a stealthy way is to use the hidden blade. The hidden blade is very easy to use just equip the blade, sneak up on a person and strike. Or, if you're feeling very bad you can push people off of tall buildings which is always satisfying. The game also brings in an idea called "social stealth" which is blending in with the crowd to become undetected. This is one the greatest technical things about the game is either running around and climbing buildings or you can walk and try to remain a normal person in the crowd.
In the game you will be given nine people to assassinate but if you are only given nine people you have to just go kill them and then you're done in two minutes right. Wrong you have to first find out information on your target. Find out where they will be and when and also find out what kind of thing is your target doing that makes him such a bad person. You find out information by pick pocketing people, eavesdropping, interrogation, and by doing work for fellow assassins. All of these are very fun and a great way to use the abilities that the assassins have. This game will be a great franchise and hopefully the next game will further the story.
