Oh no We're running around Creedless!!

Platform - X360, PS3
Developer - Ubi Soft
Rating - 15 (UK)

The year 2007 has been a good year for gaming titles and one of the anticipated launches was Assassins Creed. The game is all about infamous assassin Altair where you have to - no surprise - assassinate key figures in the year 1191 during the 3rd Crusade.

Good points

* Intersting plotline
* Mini cutscenes when assassinis great fun
* AI is reactive to your movements, behaviour in the streets

Bad points

* Combat/assassinations can be repetitive at times
* Gaining intelligence on targets involves the same process


Overall, I found it rather good and you could be playing it for a good few hours, but I feel that intelligence gaining activities and combat is a tad repetitive. But if you're the one that is into cutscenes relative to Tenchu, the agility of Prince of Persia and the fact you can climb on to almost every structural crevice, this game will do you just fine.

Score: 8/10
