    FEATURES

    Assassin’s Creed is the next-gen game developed by Ubisoft Montreal that will redefine the action genre. While other games claim to be next-gen with impressive graphics and physics, Assassin’s Creed merges technology, game design, theme, and emotions into a world where you instigate chaos and become a vulnerable, yet powerful, agent of change.

    The setting is 1191 AD. The Third Crusade is tearing the Holy Land apart. You, Altair, intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict.

    You are an Assassin, a warrior shrouded in secrecy and feared for your ruthlessness. Your actions can throw your immediate environment into chaos, and your existence will shape events during this pivotal moment in history.

    Key Features

    • Be an Assassin
      Master the skills, tactics and weapons of history’s deadliest and most secretive clan of warriors. Plan your attacks, strike without mercy and fight your way to escape.
    • Experience exclusive PC content
      Four PC-exclusive investigation missions make the game an even better experience than its console predecessors, including the Rooftop Race Challenge, a race to a specified location and the Archer Stealth Assassination Challenge, where the player must assassinate all archers in a certain zone to help out fellow Assassins.
    • Realistic and responsive environments
      Experience a living, breathing world in which all your actions have consequences. Crowds react to your moves and will either help or hinder you on your quests.
    • Action with a new dimension – total freedom
      Eliminate your targets wherever, whenever and however. Stalk your prey through richly detailed, historically accurate, open-ended environments. Scale buildings, mount horses, blend in with crowds. Do whatever it takes to achieve your objectives.
    • Relive the epic times of the Crusades
      Assassin’s Creed immerses you in the realistic and historical Holy Land of the 12th century, featuring life-like graphics, ambience and the subtle, yet detailed nuances of a living world.
    • Intense action rooted in reality
      Experience heavy action blended with fluid and precise animations. Use a wide range of medieval weapons, and face your enemies in realistic swordfight duels.
    • Next-gen gameplay
      The proprietary engine developed from the ground up for the next-gen console allows organic game design featuring open gameplay, intuitive control scheme, realistic interaction with environment and a fluid, yet sharp, combat mechanic.

    Assassin's Creed is an interesting third person action game. The game is a great deal of fun for the first three-four missions, and then you realize that you've seen everything the game has to offer, gameplay-wise. For the most part, the game has you doing several of the same tasks over and over for each mission in slightly different setups in the various cities. For me, the only further interest I had was in the storyline; and it's an interesting story, too. If you can catch it on sale again grab it for the story or the beginning entertainment, but don't spring for it at $20.

    Assassins Creed is an almost historic third person action game with adventure elements. It features beautiful graphics and unique 'anywhere in the environment' gameplay. However the actual progression of the game is limited to mainly repeating the same action over and over again to different people and in slightly different places, this leaves the game feeling quite linear and boring at times. As well, on the PC there are major performance issues, and unless your computer is way above the minimum requirements there will be issues with playing the game. Over all, it is a pretty game with unique gameplay that is sadly plagued by performance and medicore linearity throughout.
