Title: Assassin’s Creed
Genre: Action/Adventure, Historical, RPG
Approx Length: 3 main titles so far, with several branched off titles
Plot Summary: Assassin’s Creed is set in the present-day. You play as Desmond Miles, a man who has been captured by an association looking to find “something” within Desmond’s past memories through a machine called the ANIMUS. You then enter one of Desmond’s ancestors’ past lives: Altair, a man living in the Middle East during the era of the Third Crusade. Through the entire first game, you learn about the Brotherhood from the ground up, as Altair works his way back to his rank after falling back down to Novice during a chain of events in the beginning of the game.
Personal Opinion: The Assassin’s Creed series is and will always be one of my favorites. It’s an amazing series with brilliant graphics and a mindbending storyline. I played this right as it came out, so I’ll always have a soft-spot for Alty, and if you play and really connect with the game and story, you’ll see why. Well, if you go for that sort of character~ I love how unique everything is, in the way the story is told and proceeds, and in the way you are totally mindblown without even expecting it. If you haven’t played, you should definitely pick it up and I recommend starting HERE, at the beginning. (I know a lot of people who have started with Ezio, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, I really feel you miss out a lot. )
Rating: 8 –I would rank this game as a 10, but there are admittedly some things that needed to be improved upon, which they did with II. Still overall a fantastic game.
