Finished: Assassin’s Creed
Review: 4/5
Absolutely superb graphics. The game world is fully realized with three sprawling cities (Acre, Damascus, and Jerusalem) as well as miles and miles of connecting countryside (explored on horseback!) in the year AD 1191. With each cities tumultuous streets packed with citizens going about their business (giving loud speeches against this or that public figure, hawking wares, carrying goods, begging for money, etc.) the game does a great job of creating the illusion that the game world doesn’t revolve around the player/character. You truly feel as though you are an intruding outsider, a sword in the crowd waiting for the chance to strike. The assassinations are tense and exciting but for me the true fun is the exploration of the vast game environments.
