Mixed reviews come out for this game.  I thought that the idea was very original and had a good strong story line.  My issues lie in the actual game play.  As many reviews out there will tell you this game has a ton of ‘investigation’ missions.  This missions cause you to walk all the way across a town to listen into someone’s conversation then walk all the way back across town and report what you have heard.  This made a few of the missions kinda boring.  Also I feel that the world is just too huge.  This is definitely an issue when you play a lot one day and don’t play the game for 2 weeks and start back up it is hard to remember what direction you were going and what you were going to do next.

The fighting was a little difficult as well because you want to do the Mortal Kombat approach and just mash the controller and expect it to respond.  In Assassins Creed you have to slow down your reaction times by about 40% to get the combos correct.

On a positive note the graphics and basic story line of the game is very well developed.  I just felt like the game wasn’t progressing fast enough to keep my interests in the game high.  Also running across the entire map as fast as I can was a little mesmerizing and boring especially after playing Resistance Fall of Man all weekend and not being able to walk 10 feet without someone shooting at me.  In Assassin’s Creed all I have is someone yell at me as I run them over with my horse.
