Assassin's Creed is a stealth action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Montreal. In the year 2012, Desmond Miles is kidnapped and made to relive his ancestor's memory through a machine called the Animus. As the ancestor, Altaïr, players unveil an assassin conspiracy set in the middle ages.
Assassins creed really is all it's cracked up to be a great fun slash'em up set in the past with a deep story and controversial ending.
However this really is all it is, however for the components it does have it does them really well, first of the combat is really basic, great fun and easy to get a hold of, the story is probably one of the best you'll ever come across in a game, and the ending(I won't spoil it for those who havn't got it yet but it is extremely controversial and VERY confusing, this is'nt a bad thing however it's just going to make Assassins creed 2 even more anticipated!
It does come with problems though, for instance there is no multiplayer what-so-ever, a capture the flag or 2 player Assassination challenges would have worked really well here. Also the combat is really fun and intuitive however it is also extremely repetitive, this is bad, but some people may still like it because of the fact that the combats so fun and it just never stops.The final bad point is the fact that although it does have replay value, it's guite boring as your just doing the same things over and over again.
Altogether Assassins creed is a fantastic game with plenty of charm, although it may not keep your attention for months, it is a great single player experience that you will get a strange craving to play every once in a while 4 STARS!

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. We don’t get too many games w...
