Gameplay:
Ubisoft makes clear at the beginning that there is more than just the third crusade behind Assassin's Creed, it all starts in the lab of 2 scientists who imprison a bartender, he does not know what it is and wants answers, the scientists explain it, the lies an old and dangerous knowledge in it and they are trying through the find a computer simulation called Animus, because exactly this bartender is one of the ancestor of the assassin Altair, more or less forcing it to these operations by the secret knowledge of the bartender based represent the Animus and here the journey begins to the past.

It is the year 1191 AD

Altair and two more assassin are in a treasury to recover an ancient treasure and coincidentally they meet the nemesis Robert a Templars, Altair course wants to kill him, but his two companions hinder them in mind and so the inevitable happens, the attempt fails, Altair can barely escape and returns to the Assassin headquarters and informed his master of the failure, he is disappointed by Altair and wants to kill him for his betrayal, but in the moment takes Robert and his men, the district and village of Assassin to, at the last moment we succeed Altair to expel the invaders through a trap, his masterpiece is grateful the while, rams him anyway a knife in the body, but he did not kill him completely, he shows mercy to his best assassin, but that comes at a price , Altair loses his rank and equipment to restore his reputation, he has to commit 9 assassinations of important personalities of the Templars, with which order he starts now, is up to you, as he rides in the kingdom to his mission to fulfill, now you have free hand over Altair explored first the area and admire the exceedingly great foresight that is commanded you, go meet her Templar, German, Saracens, French and English are you naturally hostile, but not the same attack if you remain inconspicuous, they do you nothing, we start with our mission in Jerusalem, next to the city there are Damascus and Acre, first we must seek our liaison officer, who tells us how we are to start the search, for now we have to climb the viewpoints because the views of Map are still blurry, in every city there are vantage points around to gain an overview, you have done that, are you using symbols on the map the possible targets indicated you can, for example, people listen to the important information own or steal important documents, which you can be very useful on the way their encounters needy citizens who are harassed by the guards, you can save them or not, but if you save can be of great advantage, because if you are tracked time by guards, the guerrillas keep them and you can continue to flee, to escape does not help, we must start to fight.

Of course, Altair has not only a retractable dagger but a sword during the fight of Skill, wild drauflos beat leads after a few seconds the bitter death, so you have to look at exactly what rams make your opponents and on the basis of counter-moves her soaked the attacks and him in the most brutal way the sword in the body, of course, the matter is not without bloodshed, the more enemies you kill, the morale drops with your enemies, they fight only courageous and do not dare, do you manage to kill the leader, is the Moral completely on the ground and they flee.

You have collected enough information, the liaison officer gives green light and you could commit your assassination, he manages to kill you, the respondent, is first mighty uproar in the city and you must hide in the straw piles or gardens around the city or simply kill all run you about the way so take place in about every 9 jobs, unfortunately that does not provide great variety.

Graphic atmosphere control:
The graphics are very detailed and looks really outstanding, but that comes at a price, it appear unsightly graphical glitches such as opponents sink into the ground, trees or stones or doves flying ever by a house, trees and shrubs in cities and act outside partially sterile and lifeless, as if someone had just placed the atmosphere goes through futurischste narrative partly flutes, because from a certain point her up again out of the Animus, and must lay you to rest that disturbs the flow of the game just a little, to tell you, the scientists what they intend when they have acquired your knowledge, they want to change the world no even better, the usual chatter flat. The controls are slightly by very special, by holding down RT and A you can climb on roofs and as the Prince of Persia jump or climb towers, during the fight, you can run the counter-moves and with the B button, the opponent holding down RT and X throw the area, with LT recorded their particular opponents to attack them specifically, sounds a bit complicated but it is not, with a little practice have advanced control out quickly, for beginners this is pure frustration.

KI scope bonus material life indicator Level Design:
The AI ​​of the opponents is really successful, they are very persistent and remain you on the heels example you just climb a house, they throw stones at you, and so it may sometimes happen that down flying her again, so does that all the time, they give only when you kill them or find a suitable hiding place, but they also have their drawbacks such as one feeds a posted guard and opposite also is one that we ram our retractable dagger in his neck and begins to sway, the guard towards the a clear field of view should now actually intervene, but does not do it, we flee to the next wall, at the moment falls the station to and from opposite walks over and to look, is so they react only when his colleague falls and we have long taken us out of the dust, the scope of which is thanks to the bonus features have gathered extensive to the approximately 30 to 40 hours, in addition to the bomber targets, can you flags of the various nations and in total there are 60 Templars in the kingdom which defeat is considered, but against the one should not be created, they have a completely different style of fighting as the Germans, Englishmen and so they fight more careful and always keep distance, only with the counter-moves are zukriegen small or it creeps on you and rams him your dagger in his neck. The life bar is a little too futuristic designed using blue flashing bar on the top left of the screen, you can see how much power you have, they can expand, where one settled 15 synchronous missions, thus expanding its your life bar, but be careful kills you accidentally an innocent, then goes out a piece from the display, which is very annoying especially during the fight if a citizen purely runs in your blade, the three major cities are very different from the level design, but one is always the same, namely the blue misty wall of the Animus, every time you run against it is subject does not remember, which in turn destroyed definitively the medieval flair.

Conclusion:
Assassin's Creed is not a bad game, but here a lot of potential has been given away, why the blue impenetrable misty wall in the cities and kingdom? Why this futuristic story? Without these qualities, it would have been an obvious hit, but it is, unfortunately it is only a good game with good approaches and the end would be certainly able to solve even better.
