Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition

Two stories in one game

Intro

I want denied it Assassin's Creed is a piece of a masterwork and a game I want forget for a long time. It's like you playing Gta and Splinter Cell in one game. It's a fun game for everyone. You must have this game!

Gameplay

You begin with learning the controls and things that you need later in the game. Soon you will actually play two stories; the one in the past as an assassin and the other where you getting tested by two doctors who sends you to the past to be an assassin. In the past you name is Alta�r. On your adventures you will visit three cities who where made perfectly by the makers of the game. Jerusalem, Damascus, and Acre are those cities. You go from city to city by foot but it would last long, but the second option is taking a horse, and that's actually the mostly thing you will do. In the cities you will find inhabitants dragging jars on their heads, man shouting about religion, and guards who are patrolling the streets. You have to be very carefully when you walking the streets and don't kill inhabitants. When you do so you have to kill an army of guards that want to catch you. Then you have two options; you can run, and it's best for you to run on the roofs, or challenge them and kill them.

In the normal life your name is Desmond. You are a test rabbit and you let the two doctors put memories in you that are Alta�rs so you can play the assassin in the past.

Back in the past you will have to kill 9 persons who where on the list of your master. Piece by piece you will discover the story and the secret of the game. The end is really confusing and open, so there is a possibility continuation.

Audio&Graphics
The audio is done nicely, and music to, bit it's not that the music makes the environment like in many games. You even hear the music when you playing the game because all you attention goes to the game you playing. The speeches are done great!

The graphics are lovely with much blur so they give you a warm feeling.

TOO CLOSE BUT TOO FAR

It took me a while to figure out how to make the game playable on my pc .

Step 1. PLEEEEEEASE..... Update your graphic drivers . An updated graphic driver can make one hell of a difference.

Step2.if your game is crashing the u need to do some tweaking .go to task manager
set the priority to realtime ; and close any necessary program .all this to
save some RAM.

Now what i i felt was that great graphics and quality audio and good looks are
a trademark of ubisoft and for taht they gat full marks in case of ac.
what it needed was a much tighter story line up as in case of POP series,and a little bit of more hockus pockus(i.e. magic).
They showed Altair with a bow and arrow
in the starting shot but did not fulfill the promise for some very spectacular shooting sequences.Although THE LEAP OF FAITH can termed as an innovation.
The only real weakness might be the monotonous nature of the modus operandi of altair.........

Good but insane hardware requirements

What's great on Xbox 360 and PS3 isn't necessarily great on the PC. Assassin's Creed is a solid game but is hobbled by cumbersome PC controls (this game ain't built to be a PC game, and it shows) and some ridiculous PC requirements. The performance is disappointing, but if you've got the hardware this is an interesting game with a lot to offer.
