Being one of the most anticipated games in the PlayStation 3, Assassin’s Creed also has a PC version of it for those who couldn’t afford to get hold of a PS3. Assassin’s Creed is a fun and exciting action game which features a beautifully structured game world. Everything in the world, from the civilians roaming around the towns to the birds flying about the sky feels so alive which the chatters and twittering of birds clearly heard depending on where you are at. It also features free-form travels which allows the exploration of any part of the world or town (except for the first few chapters where certain parts are restricted).
In Assassin’s Creed, you’ll play as Altair, an assassin extraordinaire, who is given a task by the master of the brotherhood to assassinate nine individuals in order to redeem yourself from your previous mistakes. While carrying out these tasks, you’ll be exploring 3 major cities of the Holy Land in the 12th century: Jerusalem, Damascus and Acre. Each city has its own unique design and all are filled with citizens which are busy with their everyday chores. You’ll be encountering citizens bargaining for goods at the bazaar, women carrying jugs on their heads, orators delivering their political and religious speech, as well as citizens getting harassed by guards as you are walking through the streets. While rushing through the streets may be a more acceptable way of traveling, Altair can also use the rooftops of the buildings to get from one place to another. However, some of the rooftops are guarded by archers and they dislike your presence there and will ask you to leave. At that point you can make a choice on whether to continue on or leave the rooftops and get back to the streets.
