Great combat and open ended gameplay make Assassin's Creed one of the best action games in years.

There has been a lot of hype surrounding Assassin's Creed since it's announcement, and it definitely delivers upon it's release.

The visuals are top notch but the gameplay and awesome combat engine make this game truly shine. The animations during the fight sequences are fantastic and never seem to get old. The game feels very fluid, not clunky at all. The story, although nothing special, is quite solid. There is a resonably large mass of land to discover, Creed really delivers with it's open ended gameplay. Just an all-around fun action game that you can pick up and have a blast.

There are some similarities to "Thief" which was released a few years back but you don't have to rely upon stealth nearly as much and you have a much larger place to explore.

One of the funnest games I've played in years. I highly recommend it.

9/10
