A game that gives you a historic adventure whilst exploring rooftops and streets!
And for all of you who enjoy reading them, thank you for actually liking them! Now then, back to the actual review.
Story: A man called Desmond Miles partakes in a research, which Dr. Warren Vidic is in charge of, where he is suppose to enter a machine called the 'Animus'. The animus can access memories from a descendant, in this case Desmond's. All we know is that Desmond's ancestors hold information that Dr. Warren Vidic wants and so he uses the Animus to access Desmond's memory in order to gain them.
Once you're in the Animus you play as Altaïr, an assassin of the Creed and it's through him that you'll slowly uncover the secrets of this era.
Gameplay: The game is actually really easy to play. The map is easy to navigate. You can climb pretty much anything and since you play as an assassin's, Altaïr easily moves on the rooftops. There are 3 major cities which you will regularly visit; Jerusalem, Acre and Damascus. Most of your missions will be in these cities.
You also have the option to gain allies in the game by saving citizens that are being harassed, by doing so you can either gain scholars, for disguise, or men to fend of enemies that are in your pursuit.
Enemies/Monsters: The main enemy are the Templars and you'll encounter them throughout the game in all the places you visit. There are also the city guards, but they are easier to eliminate than the Templars. You can also attack some people in the cities to loot weapons from.
Skills: There are no actual real skills that you can acquire by free will, usually you gain them after successfully completing your missions and even so there are not many skills, but they are extremely useful!
Overall: Truly a great game, but it was kind of empty in content. There wasn't much to do outside of the missions. The only things I could find where to save citizens and roam around flags in the cities, but the story was what kind of made up for what the game in general lacked!
