You're Altair, and you have only one goal; assassinate.
Assassins Creed takes place in four different cities including Jerusalem where you're an assassin named Altiar who's on a mission to kill those appointed by your leader. In this game your able to do parkour which is a sport kinda like freerunning. You're given a variety of weapons such as a sword to a hidden blade that enables you to stealth assassinate people without getting caught. What stands out in this game is that everything can be reacted to and at the same time still able to make the surrounding area unbelieveably real. Throughout the story you unlock new weapons and moves that can be really helpful throughout the game. As you progress through the storyline you begin to question of what you are doing and the reasoning for it only to find out what is really happening. The time of the place actually takes in the future where you're abducted and given orders to do a series of missions in order to unlock a memory that your abductors want, but in order to do this you have to relive the events of your ancestors memory in order to unlock this memory block. There isn't much to unlock when you go scouting for flags around the city once you finish the game but you can replay the missions. There are downsides to it including some graphical glitches that can be fixed with an upgrade. It may be a great game but there's no online play and tends to get a but repetetive. Overall, its a buyer if you're into those games that has that splinter cell feeling in my opinion.
