This game shows where the gaming world will be in the future. For the most part the story line was good. But it is the first in a three part triligy. You can only expect so much in the first part of a game they are trying to re-invent gaming with. The first couple of missions are intresting but it will get old until the end of the game. The ending made it worth while. It will leave you yelling at your T.V. The animation was excellent. and the movement of the character was more realistic than I have seen. It accually takes you a second to get use to the motion of the gameplay.
What's great about it: Good story line, the feel of the gameplay

The game itself is amazingly put together. With great graphics and a smooth easy flowing combat system whats not to like. However 2 hours in to the game I realized that honestly im doing the same thing over and over. Go eavesdrop, pickpocket, and then assasinate the cycle continues to repeat. While this cycle gets repetitive and slightly boring, the amazing visuals and landscapes will hold you through to the end of the game. Great for first timers, if you've beaten it once not worth it a second time unless you really have nothing to do.
What's great about it: Awesome visuals, amazing combat moves and flowing combat system in general
What's not so great: Not enough mission variety, and lacking some challenge unless you go achievment hunting

I am not going to spoil anything but I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. The minute i first played, my mind was blown away.
After the beginning of the game you're off to do pretty much whatever you want. There are 3 giant cities you can explore if youd like.
The graphics are great, the voice acting is great, even the smaller things like being able to see cutscenes from different angles makes for a good time. This game is well worth the money and it will keep you busy for a very long time!
What's great about it: GIGANTIC open ended world, hundreds of things to do
What's not so great: the ending will have you scratching your head

When you first start the game, you'll start wondering what the heck is going on. You'll soon find out there is a dual storyline in this game of present and past. You get to control "Altair" (the name of the ancestor/assassin) and go off in little investigations which lead to assassination assignments. The environment is stunning. The A.I. of the populace is great too. There are town drunks and beggars that can really blow your cover when you're trying to do stealth kills. There are choppy transitions. The details of the environment is so stunning in this game that I think that it's too much for the Xbox 360's processors to process without a little choppiness on the visual end. The character is so agile and can climb up almost anything and jump from rooftop to rooftop, you'd swear that the only thing missing for the main player/character is webslinging abilities and a Spiderman suit! For all the hype that surrounded this game, I am a bit disappointed. You are limited in the weapons you can use and it IS possible to just run and gun your assassination assignments rather than go stealth all the time. It makes the game more difficult when you do this, but moving in stealth mode (blend) from location to location or from assassination to assassination all the time can wear on a player's patience. Overall, great game, but I've seen other games put the Xbox 360 to better potential than what the hype states this game does.
What's great about it: Environment is stunning. A.I. of the populace is amazing as well. Visually stunning
What's not so great: Lots of choppiness. Lots of intentional and UNintenional glitches. Storyline is so-so.

I was very excited about this game before it came out. Once I got the game I was a little surprised by the story line. Some of the gameplay can be boring and repetative but overall it is fun. The graphics are great and AI in the game is amazing. There is not multiplayer so once you play out the story that is it. While I haven't gotten into this game as much as some others, I still highly recommend.

When I first played this game I thought it was the best game I had ever played. But as I got closer and closer to the end I found it very boring because before each assination you do the same thing. interogate, listen into a conversation and pickpocket.
What's great about it: Amazing graphics, different from other games
What's not so great: You do the same thing over and over
