User Rating: 9 | Assassin's Creed X360
I was looking forward to Assassin's Creed since the beginning of the year because it looked so different than any other game. Once I played it, Assassin's Creed more than lived up to it's anticipation. The game focuses on 2 main aspects, travel and combat. Traveling is probably the most unique gaming experience in a while. Instead of sticking to Ubisoft's Prince of Persia kind of platforming, Assassin's Creed lets you hold down a button and lets you do whatever you can to go in the direction you are going. It makes all of your actions run smoothly and truly gives you a cool feeling when you escape from guards while rooftop racing. The combat is also very different, both good an bad. Good, and I agree with them on this one, is that it feels realistic unlike most sword combat games. Instead of hacking and slashing until their life bar goes away, a single stab or slice can get the job done. It becomes really easy to kill enemies due to counter kills, but they are still very fun to execute. It's easy to defeat a dozen enemies at a time, but it still fun to do so, since I see new killing moves each time I play. The story is great, providing a mind blowing twist in the beginning of the game that I did not see coming at all. The ending could have been better, but it is a cliff-hanger, so if this guarantees a second one, then I'll live with it. The graphics are amazing, soundtrack is great, and this is one of the best and innovative games of the year.
