Assassin’s Creed® is a game that redefined the action-adventure genre. With photo-realistic graphics, an advanced physics model, and a nearly fanatical attention to detail, this title was able to begin a new chapter in gaming history. However, the excellent technical aspects are only half of the reason why it became so popular; the other half is the story.
While you technically play the game as Desmond Miles, the main focus of the game takes place elsewhere. The year is 1191: Jerusalem, the middle of the Third Crusade. You are a member of a mysterious order of assassins where you have trained your whole life to do one thing and one thing only – to kill. The recently growing influence of the Order of the Knights Templar disturbs the delicate balance of power in the region and therefore directly threatens The Brotherhood. The clash of the two most powerful organizations in Jerusalem at the time has the most unexpected consequences and triggers devastating events that threaten the world itself, and you – Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad – are in the middle of all this.
Well-constructed story that will pleasantly surprise you many times along the way.
Impressive level of interaction with the environment – crowds react to what you do and act accordingly.
Open world gameplay lets you to decide how and when to achieve objectives, where to go, and gives you nearly complete freedom to get there.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Yes, it's repetitive a bit. But it has excellent story involving sci-fi and real history viewed from a different angle. Also it gave birth to the whole big series of Assassin's Creed games so its totally worth to look at!
I thought AC was the muttsnuts when I played it on Xbox360 back in 2007. And then I played AC2 on PC earlier this year and was blown away by how much better it was. I have just completed AC Brotherhood and was about to start Revelations but thought I would give the original another look as I got it on PC for pennies elsewhere.
Its true this game is somewhat repetitive and could be seen as generally a boring grind at times compared to later iterations, though the gameplay seems more pure in a way, almost zen-like with a lot less distracions. It is just nowhere near as much fun or as engaging as what came after.
What is incredibly dull and infernally annoying though is trying to quit the game - you have to do almost a dozen button presses to do it...
PRESS PAUSE
QUIT MEMORY
QUIT ANIMUS...
WANDER ROUND AIMLESSLY AS DESMOND
Okay.... what now? (presses random buttons on gamepad)
PRESS PAUSE AGAIN
SELECT EXIT
ARE YOU SURE? (yes I f*****ing am!!!)
LOADING (eh? loading what?)
PRESS ANY BUTTON
SELECT YOUR PROFILE (honestly, just WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?)
SELECT EXIT (please please please please)
CRASH TO DESKTOP CORRUPTING SAVEGAME
After that there Is just one more step....
UNINSTALL ASSASSIN'S CREED
I bought that game from a bargain bin a few years ago at a good price (8 euros) and played it. However I ieft it at some point and here's why:
1.First of all, the plot is bad. I mean, the main hero , Desmond, sits all day in a machine (the Animus, I know) and is a prisoner of Abstergo. A totally pathetic role.Plus I didn't like his character.
2.I preferred Altair, however I found him too obedient to his chief and having generally a lack of free thought. I didn't also like, while finding the stealth and killing quite to my fancy, the fact that I was being ordered to kill people I barely knew (I guess that's why the game tries to prove just how bad these guys, the assassination victims, are)
3.Also, the game after a point gets repetitive(in short, I got bored of constantly killing people) and it totally sucks that Altair can't swim (many times I drowned accidentally).
Despite all these however, I fancied climbing on towers to watch down from there and saving people from the "bad" crusaders (After all, Altair is a faithful Muslim Arab and against the crusaders).
In general, it's a game worth purchasing if you decide you don't care about the plot (which is very uninspired, to the point that I think that if that game was a book, it wouldn't sell well) and fancy being stealthy and touring the Holy Lands.
The plot is good enough, but the task repetition is a bit high. After playing three levels, you can predict the next levels. Every time completed a level, the character's abilities will have a Level Up, which is a tiny RPG element. The difficulty of the later levels gradually increases, more enemies and obstructive civilians will appear to deliberately prevent the player from completing the mission. What is the most impressive is that the battle in the last two stages is very fierce. The protagonist single-handedly penetrated into the enemy's rear, fighting the enemy's coalition forces with his own strength, it is really valiant and audacious! Generally it is worth playing, recommended to buy at a discount.
剧情还算不错,就是任务重复度有些高,玩过三关以后就能预见后面的关卡。每完成一关,角色的能力就会得到相应的升级,算是一点微小的 RPG 元素。后面的关卡难度逐渐升高,会出现更多的敌人和更多妨碍性的平民来故意阻止玩家完成任务。最令人印象深刻的是,最后两关的战斗非常激烈,主人公单枪匹马深入敌后,以一己之力力战敌人两方联军,实在是勇武至极!总体来讲值得一玩,建议打折时购买。
I remember playing this when it first came out, not knowing much other than it was history oriented adventure. Little did I know that the lore was huge, and it hinted to more things. To me, AC series finished with Connor's adventure in AC3. Although gameplay mechanics might be outdated, I would highly recommend this game.
