The story isnt quite what you would expect but here is how the game starts.
Your name is Desmond Miles. You are a 25yr old bartender. You were kidnapped so that researchers can use their research machine called animus. This machine allows the researchers to go in to your genetic memories and see what happened in Altaïr's life. Altaïr is Desmonds ancestor. So basically everything that is happening has already happened and you are just living it in your dreams. I am not quite sure what the researchers are looking for but I am sure later on in the game you will find out.
Graphics 9.5
The graphics are very impressive in this title. From the characters movements to the clothes in the wind. Everything is very nicely detailed.
Sound 9
There isnt a whole lot going on but how much sound was their in the 12th century? You hear the birds chirping and the people conversing. Everything sounds pretty good and sets the mood nicely.
Gameplay 9
You will visit 3 major cities of the 12th century. Jerusalem, Damascus, and Acre. Each city is very large with lots and lots of quests hidden inside. Climbing buildings is easy and the fighting system is simple. You can kill people by sneaking up on them and stabbing them or you can run and fly at them sticking them in the throat with your knives. There are many ways to kill in this game. Each more fun than the other. Doing side missions rewards you in the long run. Helping the right people out can get you out of sticky situations later on. Another nice feature are the horses. This really helps to from one city to the other much quicker. You can even do battle while riding your horse. One thing about the Creed is they are masters at stealth. But even the best can be spotted. When you are seen doing something naughty the guards will signal each other and you will have a fight on your hands. You can run and look for a place to hide if you do not wish to fight. Jumping in hay stacks or just keeping out of sight of your enemies can clear you from them.
Overall 9.25
Despite the crappy story the game really is a lot of fun. Easily having you spend more than 40hrs completing every mission and exploring. If you like stealth exploration games then this is the game for you.
