Assassin's Creed

I'm sure you've all heard about the game Assassin's Creed.
It's one of those last generation games that makes your computer overheat at the first 3 minutes of gameplay.

Well regarding the plot, my first impression was: "God, are these guys brainwashed or something?". You know all the "Health and Peace brother" rubbish. Then it turned out they are actually brainwashed, but that's a detail.

So there u are in A.D. 1191 , an assassin part of a guild of assassins that is feared throughout Gerusalem and surroundings. Your mission will be to kill any person that will try to enslave the sacred land. You will have to fight with sword, knife, throwing knives and a very cool hidden dagger against an innumerable amount of enemies, sometimes at the same time!

I had some problems in the beginning for the controls are very X-Box like and not usual ones for action games on the PC. But after a bit you will be able to do a surprising amount of damage without losing health.

Assesment:
Graphics --> pretty high
Gameplay --> not typical, but pretty efficient. The player is not allowed much regarding action as it does pretty much everything by itself although the correct timing is required.
Plot --> Plot very interesting and full of turning points. The missions themselves become a little repetitive after a bit.

I think that probably the only major 'bad' thing of the game is that after a bit it becomes repetitive.
