I finished Assassin’s Creed last night (mostly, I still have some achievements to finish, but I finished the main part of the game). It was quite an amazing game. The only complaints I have about it are that it was a little repetitive at times. I would have like more variety in the information gathering parts of the missions. Also, I would have liked the guard to have been a bit smarter. I could do some pretty extreme stuff right in from of them and they would only make snarky comments about it. Still, those things aside, the game was amazing. It had a great feel and the controls worked very well most of the time. The combat system, while starting out a little simple, does develop a little depth as the game goes on.
It is also a game that is what you make of it. You don’t have to be super stealthy with your kills if you don’t want to. I chose to go the stealthy/planning route, and I think the game was more fun because of it, but you don’t have to play it that way. I also took a lot of time to explore the story of the game. The game has a very strong plot and an ending that provides lots of fuel for speculation for the hoped for Assassin’s Creed 2. I had a great time playing it. Now I just need to finish finding all the flags so that I can get all my achievements for it.
