To start off with, the beginning...Obviously. The beginning of the game is not really clear. By this I mean you start as the character, Altair, and you don't know where you are. then you appear in a village, with someone saying "we've got a problem" and "Devon, just relax" and you think to yourself "my goodness whats happening to me?"
The world is flashing around you then all goes quiet. This is where you wake up in a laboratory...and that is as far as I am going to go with the beginning of the story line. There's a lot of talking which can render the user bored. Pressing the "A" button changes the camera angles...well pressing ANY button changes the camera angles.
After you lie down on the "Animus" you can look left and right...Imagine you are going into the Matrix but based on a memory, this is the REAL start of the game. First bit of the game is the tutorial. This is somewhat weird as you're not in the laboratory, nor are you in the world that you're supposed to be in. Instead you are in a tutorial world. Follow the tutorial as you would any other game.
Now to move onto the gameplay its self. The controls of Assassins Creed are pretty simple but in a time where you have to utilise them quickly, it can be tricky to recollect them. The gameplay is based in three cities, Acre, Damascus and Jerusalem as well as a huge area in the middle called the. After the three of them...they all look the same, theres nothing really unique about any of the cities involved. The way you physically move through the game starts off like the cities, exciting at first and then boring for the rest of it because theres simply NOTHING DIFFERENT about it.
The end of the game, lets be honest, is rubbish. There's a twist yeah...but (spolier coming, stop reading now if you don't wanna know)...
...all there is, is two scientists walking out of the test room you're in and then you're left to your own devices, which is a bitch because you want the lead credits to just end your game but no, you're left to find them (on the wall in the bedroom you sleep in...in blood :/).
Final Thought Byte : Final thoughts on this game are that it is alright if you are extremely bored and are looking for something to do. I wouldn't go out and spend a high amount of money on this game (which is why I bought it from CEX for £12.00).
I would probably give this game 4/10 because it is repetitive, boring, but strangely fun in some ways

good joke 4/10, i've also played it all, and i really enjoyed it. I've found that if you come back to it, you really realise how good it was.
Nice first review. Had to edit a little so that it formatted correctly. :p
Thing is though Louis even when you come back to it after completion you see that its really not as good as it can be, but I'm hoping Assassins Creed number two will not be such a flop
