Assassins creed is a beautiful game, but it has some flaws.

At first glance, Assassins creed is a much better looking version of prince of persia: sands of time. But once you play it you will realise that it's much more then a prince of persia- splinter cell combo. It is in fact a great game, but repetition makes it a hit or miss type of experience. I really enjoyed this game, it is gorgeous and VERY detailed, not only from a technical point of view, but also from a gameplay point of view. Jumping from one rooftop to another can be very exciting, but also downright annoying all at the same time.  And the games combat is a bit too easy . I think the reason for these annoyances comes from the repetitive nature of the game. The formula for Assassins creed is as follows, investigate, report and kill. And it's that very formula that is the source of all the games problems. Aside from that, this game is a must play. The story is good ( though it will leave you wanting more ) the voice acting is superb and as I've said before this game looks stellar. Overall I think it's worth playing, in fact if you take your time with it and don't do more then one, maybe two missions in one sitting, you'll have a great time with it.
