Description
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.

The original and best.

this is where the franchise started for me and remains the jewel in the crown of the franchise, sure they added much in other installments of the franchise, but focus here is the game got it right from day one, an open world stealth game, it does have world limits but you rarely see them, the game being first of its name, focusses on a more simple ideal, you play Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad the hero of the entire franchise and sadly only in this chapter, though the story links between games very well. Altaïr performs all the tasks the other games show, that make this series what it is. well written story, the arc links well and seamlessly. personally I miss playing Altaïr, and the era he was in, Ezio was great, but for me they over used him. everything that makes Assassin's Creed the epic game series that it is, is right here in this game, anything else is icing on the cake. why people love AC2 and seem to hate this one is beyond me, they are both fantastic, and I really do not care because simply this is the start of it all and it was done right in the first place.

Interesting but then crashes.

I was having fun, and it was entertaining. But then it crashes every time after performing an assassination and while escaping. The main thing you should get when you purchase a product is that the product works. If that fails the rest is nothing.

It was the seed that started it all

If it was not for this game we would never have gotten the vast Assassins Creed Universe with so many wonderful games that we have. Yes, of course later games are even better and there are flaws in this first one... but the foundation is strong and the story is even stronger. I loved this game when it came and have continued to love all that followed.

Its the first one...

I played this game twice, once on my xbox and again on steam. I think that this game has its several flaws but this was the first Assassin's Creed game. This game was a start to one of my favorite series, and if you want a good Assassin's Creed game then play Black Flag or Assassin's Creed 2.

Great idea, mediocre execution

I got this game for about 10 dollars some time back. The text on the back of the box made me curious. Starting the game was exciting: the role of an assassin, the sci-fi setting on the side, game mechanics looked and felt promising. At first, I had some very satisfying moments when assassinating a victim was smoothly executed and the escape was perfectly achieved, no long chasses or fights. The fights were brutal and tactical even with some needed effort when parrying. All this didn't stick, though. I agree with the other reviewers, it becomes stale very quickly. After about 1/3 or 1/4th of the game I got bored. Initially I was making a point of getting all the information on a subject, that is, I got all points of investigation done. It felt unnecessary very soon. It was enough to get the first two or three bits. It would have been interesting if all intelligence actually got you somewhere in how you tackle the mission. The side missions, citizen rescues, were the same every time. The flag collecting for extra content - I guess - became a nuisance, one seemed impossible to reach. The user interface felt clumsy, not smooth and helpful. The game just didn't manage to keep me hooked. The game idea is intriguing and exciting, execution is mediocre. I didn't last through the game, never finished it. AC2 is supposed to have eliminated the flaws, at least that's what gamers say about it.
