    stealth game? nonsense !

    Maybe it was all the hype around this game that made my expectation high for assassin creed or maybe it was something else? i really don't know because it was a long time ago and the hype high was long but over since the game was release in store. One thing i can say about Assassin creed is that it looks beautiful from the city to the country side you can see all the details that the developers put in the game once you stand there and take the moment to look at the environment. I can see why other gamers would love this game but to me the falls short of my expectation, to me its in between great and a ok game.

    The story begins with a character name desmond miles which is captured by two scientist that was forcing him to go back in time to find out more about this ancestor in the middle east. to fix the problems in the future. His ancestor he plays in the past was a assassin group that he works for a do mission to assassinate important people that believes to be ''evil''

    The games story presented was a questionable thing for me, it left the sense of feeling of not understanding what was really going on. It left me out of the inner circle of what the scientist really what with his ancestors and him. why he was locked into a room with Lucy all the time. I just wish the presented was told a little better and more information about the scientist would of been great.

    Assassin Creed presented the story in the game was really great and presented itself to the viewers of the game with sense of understanding part of what was going on. The only thing that i had the problem was with the dept of the game, i just wish they gave out a little more information about what the two scientist want with his ancestor and why they want to kill him afterwards if its really for the ''good'' it take a while to get to use of the controls of the game because of its different buttons to certain action  movement. When you press a wrong button you can find yourself dead or doing something that you really don't want to do while fighting in a big crowed city surrounded by guards. ''climbing up walls'' for instance what happens when i press the wrong button.

    Perhaps one of the things that enjoyed about assassin creed was the world was free to explore, you can see everything from the city to the country side. The busy streets of follow the leader pot holding line or take a deep breath of everything in the city from scaling the massive towers structure of the outter city limits. You can do a little rooftop dancing while trying to get away from guards or ballet your way through the crowed streets either way its really fun.

    Before you get to assassinate the target you would have to do some endless task that repeats itself in every mission thought the game. yes it gets boring but you would have to do it to progress in the game to get the ''information''that is needed. These task considers you to do three things eavesdropping that requires the players to sit on the bench and press the
    button,pickpocket get your assassin close then press another button and there's beat up a person mission which requires you to beat up a person to get information. Like most of the stealth games that iv played in the past, creed stealth mechanics are buggy and sometimes work or not. it makes it pointless to even use stealth if you cant get a clean kill or get way. Isn't the point of being a assassin being able to get a clean kill without being seen?

      Assassincreed doesn't fit the description of a stealth game, hell stealth doesn't really existed in this game the first place. its hard to tell where this game fits in maybe in a action adventure type style. but other then that i suggest that you rent this game first before you buy it.

      Delicious visuals, strong storyline, a definite must play. 0

      Hard to really comment on the game to a sufficient level without giving too much of the storyline away for those who have yet to experience the majority of the game, but I'll give it a whirl. The majority of the game is set in 1191, during the third crusade in the holy land. You play the character Altaïr, an assassin after an artifact that the Knights Templar are searching for. Your initial assassination attempt goes awry, and you're sent back to your master, stripped of your rank, and are taske...

      Assassin’s Creed is a third-person, Third Crusades-inspired, conspiracy-laden, sandbox-styled, stealth-oriented, action-filled, anti-religious, virtual reality simulating, preachy adventure game. As far as I can tell, Assassin’s Creed is the first third-person, Third Crusades-inspired, conspiracy-laden, sandbox-styled, stealth-oriented, action-filled, anti-religious, virtual reality simulating, preachy adventure game ever made, so I’ll give the game credit for that.
