Conclusion: An absolutely beautiful game to look at, a captivating storyline and very entertaining. A must see for all. The one major criticism is its repetitive tasks, but this can be overcome by playing it over time rather than 'all at once'. Disclaimer: This is my opinion and I mark hard. I have a minimum expectation for "entertainment, first and foremost". I do not see the point in rating EVERYTHING at 4 or 5 stars. Score explanations (age fairness policy): 0=Don't go there; 1=I told you so; 2=a patient person may get some fun; 3=average game(minimum expectation); 4=good game; 5=exceptional game, I can think of no improvements [do not expect me to award this mark]. Graphics: technical(excellent); artistic(excellent) Game Controls: Very good, user setup allowed. Takes a while to get used to. Climbing is a matter of trust in your hero's skill. Player training module: Very interesting, part of the storyline. I liked this a lot. Sound: technical(excellent); artistic/ambient(excellent) Gameplay: I really enjoy this game. I have to criticize the repetitive tasks: climbing towers, saving citizens, etc. More variety in each region would have made me think about an 'impossible' 5. A narrative: I will note this often, a game should be entertaining, first and foremost. I should look at it and want to play it again and again, not see it as a chore. With Assassin's Creed this is exactly what I got, full marks. I was hooked from the beginning and played for several hours non-stop. However, I discovered I could get more enjoyment by playing this one over time, thus reducing the (only) irritation of the repetitive tasks. This game allows me to enter the world of make-believe and, with minimal navigation, perform the most outrageous feats. I truly felt I was rescuing maidens (well, old crones and dudes) from the nasty foe and leaping from rooftop to rooftop. I really, really enjoy this game.
