Synopsis

Assassin's Creed is an award-winning historical third person, stealth action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. The bulk of the game takes place during the Third Crusade, with the plot revolving around a sect known as the Secret Order of Hashashin (Assassins). The player is in reality playing as a modern-day man named Desmond Miles, who through the use of a machine named the "Animus", is allowed the viewing and controlling of the protagonist's genetic memories of his ancestors, in this case, Altar ibn-La'Ahad, a member of the Assassins.

Through this plot device, details emerge of a struggle between two factions, the Knights Templar and the Assassins, over an artifact known as a "Piece of Eden", an ancient artifact used to control minds. The game primarily takes place during the Third Crusade in the Holy Land in 1191. The game received generally positive reviews, and won several awards at E3 in 2006. The story of a separate assassin, Assassin's Creed II, was released in November 2009. The sequel to Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, was released in November 2010. A subsequent sequel, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, was released on November 15, 2011.

Gameplay

The gameplay is decent but not the best, this can be a confusing game at first. The thing I really hated about it is when there is a "movie part" you have to change the camera angle and if you dont you can miss out on some good stuff. Also the camera angle in game is VERY BAD. I mainly like this game for climbing on stuff and doing free running But its also a great learning game the time period is pretty accurate and the assassin part of the game actually happened (the same kind of assassins)

Gameplay Rating: 8

Graphics

The graphics are really good the devs captured a past time in a different country (thats all based off of real places). They captured the time period to the tee and overall this is still one of the best games (based on graphics) that took place in a past time period ive ever played I recommend getting this game for a learning experince.
