Assassins Creed is based around the time as the Third Crusade, around the year of 1191 AD. This game is beautifully set up, amazing display of second generation graphics and in game play. In this game, you make the rules, you decide when, where, and how you are going to assassinate your next target. Ubisoft yet again brings games to life as you actually push your ways threw crowds and decide your destiny. Unlike other games of its class, you cannot just pull out your sword and kill everyone you see, it even gets as real as only being able to withstand humanly blows (Which means no more big blows to the head, and no more having hundreds of arrows sticking out of your body). I personally think that this game deserves 10 out of 10, and should have its place in every gamer’s house.
What's great about it: Beautiful Graphics, and a Big step into Second Gen. game play.
What's not so great: Realistic Combat, not your average kill everything you see game.
