Always been there, always has been!
Skip this one, for it is the incarnation of Ubislop it is today: eternal tutorials that teach you nothing of value, keep you hand-holding a frustrating amount of time and have you unlock your arsenal along the way. It was innovative back in the day, but with all the progression we made along the way, it really feels very dated!

Bring the Entire Series to GOG, Ubisoft
The first Assassin's Creed is represents revolutionary game design, and it pioneered many of the systems it implemented. The game's focus on historical fantasy gave the world a feeling of realism without sacrificing the game it was trying to be. It's not perfect, but no game is, and what's here is pretty good. The Assassin's Creed series deserves to be released on GOG, free from DRM that complicates consumers' ownership of their copies of games, and where it can reach more people and drive Ubisoft's profits up. Ubisoft has made some fairly anti-consumer and anti-ownership comments and practices in the past, so walking them back and releasing these games on GOG would not only increase their reputation, but increase their games' ease-of-access to people like us.

Such a disappointment
On the paper, Assassin's Creed seems great. The premise alone gives me wet gamer-dreams. Playing as an assassin in the 12th century, with free-roaming and the alleged possibility of choosing how to take down you target, combined with a interesting sci-fi plot? Yes please! Sadly, what we are left with is nothing short of a huge disappointment. The plot starts out interesting, but gradually loses it's freshness, and all the flaws shows. Hopefully the story picks up stronger in the successors, but I do not know. The main negative point with AC is the gameplay itself though. We are given the illusion of free will in AC. Before each main target execution, Altair must gather information about the target, through terribly dull and repetitve small-missions (seriously, they are the same for each target). You can choose how many of them you want to do, and you will get more information for each one. If you do all of them, you of course have more information before the actual assassination, but the problem is you don't need any information. Save for a few assassinations at the very end, every mission can be completed with just finding the target and killing him. The whole concept of choosing how to end your targets life is not fleshed out well at all. Yes you can take different routes to his location, but that's it. Forget the diversity you can find in for example Hitman: Blood Money. The game also struggles on some pure gameplay related notes, for example in the way the climbing is programmed. For the most part, it works fine, but Altair does have a mind of his own from time to time. He figured he would jump in any direction other than the one i was pointing towards. In the end, Assassin's Creed is a dull and disappointing experience. It has a great concept, but the execution is poor. Hopefully the successors are better.

Just as much fun as it was originally...
I finished this game (on GOG) back in January but forgot to write a review. I enjoyed the game when it came out, and enjoyed re-playing it on GOG! I really like the setting and am a fan of hunt & stealth gameplay - like in Hitman, Deus Ex, and other games. Even after 8+ years this game looks good and plays great!! I am a fan of this and the first couple Assassin's Creed games only. I am somwhat interested in Origins (the next installment in the series) but it will probably be a few years until it's on GOG!

Eternal Battle in the Middle Ages
I know most people, including myself, love the following games better as the developer found their footing but I have found this time period thoroughly fleshed out and exciting. I think Ubisoft should go back to this time period. The eternal battle with the Templars who were officially around from 1119 to 1312. I want to see more of the crusades and the knights and assassins battling but alas, this is only Assassin's Creed in that time period. For that alone, I give this 5 stars where it might have been a 3.4-4 star game.
