I have bought quite a few games that I had every intention on beating but halfway through them I have totally lost interest. This wasn't the case with Assassin's Creed. This game kept me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. The graphics are amazing and the research that Ubisoft Montreal put in is unlike any I have seen in any game. Escaping from guards and leaping from building to building doesn't get old. The only thing that does get old is the way you have to research your targets. Honestly It's a small price to pay to get to your mark. I am not going to give anything away so excuse me if this review is vague. I bought this game for 39.99 and I would have been just as happy if I had payed full price. Even though I have finished the game there is still a bunch to do. Have fun.
What's great about it: Graphics, Gameplay, Story, Research
