Assassin's Creed for the Microsoft XBox 360 is about some people, who tried to get information on subjects trying to get hold of a special orb, in which will controls the minds of other to its wielder. The game starts of when you play as an assassin name Altair, in a some what confused surround by faceless women then Desmond (who you play as, does mostly nothing on his entire scene) woke up due him being kidnap and they want something from Desmond's ancestor in which is Altair. When Desmond go back in the Animus, using it for to access Altair's past in most part you play as him until at the end. The gameplay in Assassin's Creed is kind of like a rpg-adventure game where you can roam freely, until later on you just go straight to a town to do you assassinating jobs, doing counters is quite hard, if you can't time it right because the enemy guard tends to swing fast and sometimes swing slow but with a harder hit, you can also switch weapons like a stealth blade to assassinate anyone including civilians, but assassinating to much will restart you to the last save point, throwing knife to throw at mid range enemy like archers, whom you can't reach and your fist for interrogations sub mission. The graphics of Assassin's Creed has believable landscape and 3d models the look great, with good texturing and detailing in Altair time. The sound in Assassin's Creed have some sound effect when you step on wood, a foot high water and the voice cast make the character in the game interest. Overall, Assassin's Creed is an average game for those, who wanted those rpg-adventure genres might want to pick this up, but be warned this game might get boring if you don't like to do the same thing over and over.

Gameplay: 5- Not much to do when you go around collecting flags and repeating saving civilians and other stuff and find information on the templars, whom you going to assassinate.

Graphics: 9- Good looking background and character models make this game look very close to life like.

Sound: 8- Basic run and sword fight sound, but good voice cast.

Value: 6- Might be fun for the first mission and after that it repeats until the end.
