This game is a fantastic game that may(and hopefully) be the beginning of a new series!!!
Gameplay: The game has a very simple control scheme that you can do many things with. The game allows you to be in a stealth like mode, "low profile" where you blend in with the crowd and you are able to assassintate people without them ever expecting it to come. Then there is "high profile" mode where when you hold down the righ trigger you are able to run. jump, climb, and anything that would attract your attention. The game focuses around those to modes and it works quite well. The fighting is fun and entertaing, but a bit too easy due to the extremely stupid AI. The objective of the game is to collect information on your assassin(eavesdrop, pickpocket, informant, interrogate, and much more) Then you go to the location of where you may find your target based on your info and you strike him down and try to draw as very little attention as you can.
Sound: The music is amazing in this game. It uses a very epic, yet subtle arab music that definitely fits. The voice acting is just as great even though there are a few cheesy bits, but it is still great.
Graphics: The graphics are absolutely gorgeous. Everything is detailed perfectly, and it looks exactly like what the Holy Land would look like back then.
Value: You probably will play this 11-14 hour game once or twice before you get bored of it. The sidequests are fun and entertaining, like collecting flags, saving citizens, and climbing to reach "eagle points."
Story: There are two storylines in this game, one in the future and one back during the crusades. I don't want to spoil much so I will just say the ending is confusing, yet satisfying. Chances are there will be a sequel, but I am not sure. The ending made no sense!!! The rest of the story is perfectly fine though.
Achievements: The achievements are simple in this game, The story line missions, sidequests, tutorial, pulling off things during combat, and watching the half an hour credits. Very simple and they are worth a lot of points!!!
The game was bit on the easy side yet it will keep you entertained all the way until the end!!! The game does get a bit repetitive since you do the same thing every time, but you will enjoy every moment of the game.
I highly reccomend this game and I hope that Ubisoft makes more games like this!!!
