I enjoyed this game alot, and getting every achievement for it was a blast. This games history was very accurate, and I really enjoyed the basics of an ARMY of assassins. Like the fact that the Assassins Bureau's are always located in the center of adjacent buildings, with no doors to get in, the only way in is to scale the buildings and jump down through the rooftop, so no civilians will even know its there. The storyline is a little sketchy, I highly doubt they will make a machine soon where you can relive genetic memories, however genetic memories could exist.
The game play is graphically amazing, and the animations are speechless, sword fighting in this game is on a level I have never seen before. I like the basic things other game designers overlook, like how when you are surrounded and the guards are afraid to strike yet, and you equip your hidden blade, he pulls his hand back so the blade will come out of its armband and then point it at the enemy, yet if you hold the right trigger to inapt a high profile action, he puts the blade behind his back but still has it out, hiding it from the foe He's facing, so when the foe strikes believing you are harmless, you can dodge the blow and put the blade in his head, and he had no idea what was coming.
However it is still an amazing experience being able to be Altier, an assassin who has mastered the art of free running, stealth, and killing, but not obedience. living in 1191 A.D. during the Third Crusade, video games are the time machines of the 21st century, and this game is an incredible experience. The fact that this ARMY of people DID exist in 1191 A.D. just makes it more believable.
My only complaint, that really drove me crazy, was the fact that Monks are called Scholars in this game, just because of the religious content. I highly doubt Assassins Creed would have been taken off the shelves for calling them Monks, this just makes it unrealistic.
