This game may not have a masterpiece story and yes the missions get a bit repetitive (all that picks up in the sequels) but the gameplay was the first of its kind extremely fun, I can leap my way across the city on here picking off guards in any way I choose and I simply cannot get tired of it. the visuals at the time of release were absolutely jaw dropping especially the lighting and still today continues to look gorgeous. it would have gotten 5 stars if the story were more detailed and the missions were less repetitive but this is the first of a great series and it simply did not need these things to be a great game. worth every penny
