The Assassin Altair has fallen through his arrogant approach from grace and his master has to prove that he is worthy to be allowed to remain in the secret society and alive again. So he has to bring important figures to track, to earn so again his old rank and respect again. As assassin he dominated quiet and unobtrusive approach and is a master in the climb, so represent facades no problem for him. The highlight of the story: The story takes place actually in the presence of the body of a descendant of Altair. This was abducted and experienced the events of his ancestor by his DNA is adjusted by means of a sci-fi machine to that of the ancestors ...
Sounds a bit lifted, but is pretty cool ;-) Especially what the developers have thereby done to the whole setting. So there is no normal life energy, but the vitality points reflect quasi DNA sync with his ancestors back. If you have lost the connection, you die virtually. And there is not just invisible walls that prevent a front to get into areas to which one is not allowed, but of these places has virtually no memory. I think it's pretty cool realized. Just like to sprint over the rooftops of the city and to hop from one facade to another. I had indeed once get used to it and have spent rather on the floor to start the game. But after a certain acclimatization climbing the documents go easy on the hand and are just plain fun. And technically the game is anyway hardly nakedness. The cities are full of people, it has a tremendous vision of the area (especially on a lookout tower) and both the background music as well as the German voice-overs are very good. This medieval flair is just across very well, even though I sometimes have found to gray-in-gray optics. And normally I am not so in stealth games, but to sneak with Altair through the crowd to his victim and then zoom to the small blade strike down from behind to draw from there as had been nothing - that is fun;)
A little less humor comes to the variety and interactivity. Although the towns and even the victims are different, but basically it runs from the urban area to urban area always the same from: You look for an observation tower and overlooks from there to the field, so that you on the map now, the other towers and important places gets displayed. Now you can ask people to eavesdrop conversations or informants help with their little problems (eg, within a time people kill or collect flags). If you have passed a certain number of them, so one must show in the office and take the job in reception. And then, the main goal is displayed fair game ;-) Yes, and this principle is repeated from victim to victim. Of course, this is fun, but a little more variety would have been nice. And what interactivity is concerned: It is true that the areas full of people and it looks alive, but you can only talk to the key people. And it is indeed about of beggars accosted want alms from one or roadside are countless traders with their goods - but in the game there are unfortunately no currency. It would have been really great about from defeated enemies to collect money to then buy new equipment to or better weapons and stuff. I think we would lose enormous potential. And while there are flags or collect a certain number of Templars to do, but all you really have to go through each winding alley and especially motivated not have me. Basically this means that the world is indeed great and full of people, but you can do little to the bottom line there. The story I found good in itself, but has no big surprises and somehow I guessed who will probably be Altair's last victim. For the mystery Touch is the end really succeeded. And as a final negative point: The idea with the alternation between past and present is indeed nice, but were annoying me in the long run, the detour in the current time and found them rather than distracting accessories. The reason is that there simply almost nothing happens and everything goes pretty lame because you also can not run. And stubborn he controls is also because you can talk about with the people, when you stand at a certain place. Grade a disappointment compared to the past cool.
I think of "Assassin's Creed" could have been done more. Still, it gave me real joy prepares to hop over the rooftops and off a victim after another. For a sequel I would like to see some money that you collect and then spend again.
Pro:
+ Harmonious look with chic vision and many people on the streets
+ Background music for the flair and successful German Synchro
+ Sprint over the rooftops - just cool
+ Mystery touch at the end of the story
Cons:
- Missions vary little
- There in the cities to do too little (eg no trading possible)
- The story has not blown me away
- Present-sections boring compared to the past and boring
Rating: 7 out of 10 stars
