Game Frame: Assassins creed is one of SONY's Greatest Hits, It was launched during 02/2008 with great reviews (9/10 at Gamespot). This game was developed by Ubisoft

What is it about: Assassins Creed is the story of Desmond, a regular guy living a regular life abducted by a mysterious group whom have developed a machine capable to "link" Desmond´s memories to a former ancestor called Altair. This Altair belongs to an assassins order dedicated to kill specific targets in order to prevail peace and order according to the group beliefs. Game takes place at 1119AC and you will be playing with Altair of course.

You will be given a series of targets to kill for different reasons and social classes how ever in order to find them you will have to kill, punch, steal or lisen to different targets among different cities untill you gather enough info to locate and kill your main target.

History 10: The entire game mixes time between some future organization interests related to events occurred during past times linked by a powerfull DNA machine reader; actually it requieres lots of imagination to develop such a history. This game is intended to be 1/3 episodes.
History really liked me and kept me intresting during all the game looking for more.

Graphics 10: This game has some of the most impressive and detailed graphics I have ever seen. It takes place on several cities including Jerusalen, Sandbox game style allows to cover lots of game kilometers allowing to enjoy the impressive graphic scenarios. All characters movements and detail are quite complete I really liked this part.
Cinematic scenes for fighting segments are great

Sound 7.5: Sound during game or related to scene is very good people shouting, complaining, broken jars etc sound very realistic however once you have been 2 hours spining around the city all this sounds tend to become very repetitive and even annoying. Perhaps some backstage music would be good.

Gameplay/Moves 6.5: To be honest, I found this game very repetitive even boring; I decided to finish it due to its impressive graphics and history however I didnt enjoyed playing it.

During all the X missions you have to accomplish you will have to do exactly the same things with the same moves and without any potential enhancement in order to find your target location.
Even once you have gotten all your equipment you will kept doing the same thing for hours!!
It will take more time to collect required items and walk around the city runing to specified locations than getting any action.

You will get few and repetitive action moves leaving your character without real fighting resourses. Action button is diminished to 1 and fights become slow and repetitive since the only way you can fight efficiently vs your enemies is covering until they attack and then press the same button on order to make your move.

If I could... I would have enhanced Altair moves; make him much more complex related to its abilities adding additional action movement like "Jump or better fighting abilities" could be like Ninja Gaiden fight style.
