Assassins Creed is set in Israel year 1191 AD. Assassins Creed revolves around the assassinations of nine key targets in the third crusade. Assassins Creed is best described as a mix between Prince of Persia and Hitman except with no guns. You play as an assassin called Altair. Your main purpose of the game is to assassinate the nine key targets.

One of the best features in the game is free running. Free running is being able to run anywhere including on top of buildings and houses, being able to jump anywhere even if it kills you and the best part of all any features on walls, houses or buildings you can grab onto and climb on them and you can jump from one object to another while still hanging vertically on a wall.

Assassins Creed has great graphics. Everything looks realistic. The people are wearing cloves that suit that time period like rags. The loading screen is also pretty fun because you can do anything while the game is loading.

Assassins Creed isn’t as long as a rpg game but it still is a lot of fun. Even when you finish the game you can still do anything you want to like killing anyone or just running around.

Assassins Creed offers a variety of things you can do. You can eavesdrop on people, you can pickpocket people, you can sneak up behind people and kill them, you can follow people without them knowing and beat them up for answers about something, you can ride horses which you can attack. These things are what makes Assassins Creed a better game.

Assassins Creed is a very stealthy type game. If you kill someone in the middle of the street the guards are going to chase after you and try kill you. You have to be stealthy If you want to get away with killing someone and know one knowing. Theirs a picture in the top left hand side of the screen and when you pass people who are suspicious of you the picture will turn into a circle and flash red when the guards are fully aware that you have done something wrong the whole picture will turn red and the guards will chase after you to make it that the picture goes back to normal you have to hide in places like in a trailer of hay or you can disguise yourself as a group of people that are wearing the same clothes as them and walk with them.

In Assassins Creed there are a variety of weapons that you use for different things. There is a weapon for close range which is meant to be used for killing people in one hit, there's a sword for close range combat, there's short swords used for throwing at people or there’s old school style just using your fists.

All over Assassins Creed is a one of a kind game with it’s awesome graphics and sound and best of all the free running mode. I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys fighting and adventure games or anyone 13 and over.
