Assassins creed
Assassin's Creed is a third-person stealth game.The primary goal of the game is to complete nine assassinations which can be completed by a number of ways, before any assassination becomes available you need to preform different tasks like speaking to informers, eavesdropping, interrogation and pickpocketing. you also have the chance to help citizens that are being threatened or harassed by city guards, these certain tasks only become available however once you have climbed a high point to map out the city. killing templars and collecting flags are also some of the side quests available.
The combat is more of a button mash at first but the further you progress through the game the more moves you unlock, the best and most useful being counter attack. the fights are enjoyable but can be frustrating when reinforcements appear very quickly forcing you into battle. you can throw guards into nearby wooden structures to send them collapsing and taking out everyone close to it or hit them from long range with a throwing knife, throwing guards of buildings of stabbing them from behind with your hidden blade is also available.
Blending will become very important after killing certain targets or when your trying to escape from guards. hiding in the rooftop canapes, sitting down on a bench or blending in with scholars are all possible and effective ways.
The story behind assassins creed is a little loose and doesn't provide much closure at the end of the game. the constant talking in the game is one of its downfalls along with the repetitiveness of each assassination, the main objective of each mission is always the same and is only forgiven because of the vast citys which are different for each assassination.
if you have a 360 your missing out not having this in your collection, it will get repetitive in the later parts of the game but all the good points more than out weigh that. if you haven't played it, you really should.
