I love this game as it is one of the first to really feel like a sandbox environment. The only thing it lacks for me is the ability to destroy buildings but that would not make sense based on the gameplay. You are an Assassin and you are fighting against the influence of the Templars. The story is amazing as you play Desmond the descendant of an important member of the order of Assassin's. He uses a futuristic device to replay the memories of his ancestor. The game features a large amount of stealth techniques to infiltrate areas and kill targets. The most fun part of the gameplay is the platforming. You climb and jump across buildings in the Middle East. The world seems vibrant and alive. It's a great title for the first entry which they have improved upon int he 3 following games. However, this game has a magic that kept me playing despite some of the wonky combat controls. I highly recommend playing this.
