Underrated title with only some faults
Well, not much to be said about the now more-than-10-years-old game, which brought much attention to the AC series and is nowadays very overlooked and underrated, if you ask me . Technically, for its time, AC showed quite an impressive values appropriate for AAA titles of that time, graphics are quite good, soundtack's pretty amazing, and it shows a relatively big game map on an environment which is almost never explored on other video games. So I think the "main" points which are specific for AC I without blabbering too much about the obvious stuff, are as follows - Big plus is the historical value of the game, and the environment as I already said, which is rarely explored in video games or in media in general (Third crusade in the 'Holy Land'), and it seems accurate enough and very satisfying for the very least. The story presented in AC I is quite deep and satisfying to my taste, the crosses and dynamic between the past and the present, storywise, were good and added to the experience, although the way the plot was executed is not 100% perfect and it's not as absorbing as it could be, Which unfortunately can be said on the gameplay as well, and this is the main weakness of AC I, which is why it suffers from lack of interest and positive reviews, probably, for an "Open World" game, it's quite repetitive, quite "big" and empty, exploration is not too meaningful or rewarding, and the gameplay mechanics are just getting overused and tiring over time. So , in short I'd say this is still an awesome game for its cinematic and storytelling value, for what it's worth. Through that as an actual GAME it's not at all perfect and not fully entertaining as modern video games and later titled of the series, but then again it's really up to what you're looking for. If you have SOME patience for quality story, this still may be the game for you :)
