"Paved The Way For Modern 3rd Person Action/Adventure Games"
Story: This game is the beginning of Desmond’s story for four games. You are tasked as an Assassin to take down 9 targets. In order for you to get back in good Frances with the Assassins Creed. But after doing so many twists are involved. Rulers get the info they want and you learn you were never told the truth. Then the sort cuts off after these things are learned. Hyping up the story for the next game in the series.
Gameplay: The feeling of the game back in 2007 was unmatched. You felt like you were really moving around in this world. But that’s where things fall off. Parkour is clunky but revolutionary for the time. 50% of the time you go where you were aiming to go. The rest of the time you grab stuff or fall off things you didn’t mean to do. Combat oils down to countering attacks for instant kills. But I really enjoyed that at first because of the animations that came with those moves. Content wise the game consists of doing basic side objectives multiple times until you earn the info to assassinate a target. The side content is generic and annoying. But the assassination targets were surprisingly varied for the time. With unique gameplay challenges being involved.
Graphics: Back when the game first game out I have never seen graphics or animations like it. Character Models felt like they had substance to them vs. games that came before it. You wouldn’t clip through people or things. You would have impact with them. Things containing clothes had physics to them. One of the biggest downsides was the texture work and environmental/model design variety.
Audio: The audio of the entire game sounds very poorly recorded. Most of the sounds from the environment and characters sound alike it was recorded on speaker phone. And the main character Altair has an American accent which throws everything off.
Performance/Bugs: The game crashes at start on the default exe. You have to go into files and force the DX10 version to be the launch exe. And to get a controller to work, it requires a bunch of wonky steps. Through out the game there are many graphical bugs as well. Other than that the game runs smoothly.
Worth The Money?: Yes (On Sale)
Estimated Completion Time: DNF
Final Rating: 5/10
