When kidnapped by an unknown assailant and forced into a machine with the purpose of retracing the genetical memories of your assassin ancestor to learn the location of an unknown item from the year 1191, it's hard to say no.

* Unique and interesting storyline; * Immersive and convincing through amazing graphics; sound and presentation; * Sword fights and assassinations are a lot of fun

* 1-2 hours in and you know what you'll be doing for the rest; * Questionable control over Altaïr's mobility; * Transportation can be a bit lengthy and over-used

Taking the leap of faith.

Assassin's Creed is one of the most intriguing, fresh, fun, and absolutely impressive games to come to the Xbox 360. The presentation is stunning and the gameplay will hook you and not let you go for hours at a time.

This game is a game that has attempted something different from the others. Made by our friends at Ubisoft who came out with Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed uses many ideas and inspiration from these two games.

Assassin's Creed is an undeniably ambitious game. Attempting to follow in the storied tradition of greats such as chocolate and peanut butter, it wants to be a bunch of awesome things made even more awesome by way of combination-specifically, equal parts tense stealth game, badass fighting game, and...

If you liked AC2 and Brotherhood you are going to like Revelations. Definitely play AC2 and Brotherhood before Revelations for the story.

Gold ol' Assassin's Creed assassiny goodness; Really good gameplay; Really awesome exploration missions and Altair missions

Where did the horses go Some typical AC-style boring missions where you stalk a guy for like 5 minutes; But they are few and far between

I've played Assassin's Creed at my friend's house (since I'm not allowed to at home) and I must say, I was impressed. The entire world seemed realistic, there were high up points that you could get to that make it seem worth the three minute climb, and the five seconds of falling is the best part.
