An Excellent Historic Action-Adventure Title!
-Excellent story and storytelling (Memories of Altair).
-Solid, fluent controls (Jumping around on rooftops and doing leaps of faith in haybales are exciting.)
-Beautiful music score.
-Combat is a thrill (Silent blades, pickpocketing/throwing swords at rooftop guards, using your main blade, fists to ward of annoying, combative civilians, etc.)
-Great stealth mechanics (pickpockets, silent assassinations, blending with scholars, etc.)
-Graphics and animations are solid (i.e: Jerusalem and Damascus during the time of the Crusades have never looked better.)
-Sound is top-notch (Combat, townspeople/main character dialogue, etc.)
-Useful map/inventory system.
-Steady frame rate.
-Balanced difficulty.
The Bad:
-Ending is a tad confusing.
-Some minor camera and visual gaffes.
