ASSASSINS CREED Review

What It Does Right: Every item on the laundry list of things that Assassin's Creed does correctly ends up being vastly outweighed by some major failing. The big one is the grand promise that the game makes to you in its very title. Watching the concept video that was originally shown for this game, the hook is revealed: In this game you get to play an assassin. You sneak through a crowd to a place where a corrupt official is making some kind of public appearance. Before he realizes anything, you leap out of the crowd and a hidden blade shoots from your sleeve, through the hole in your fist where your ring finger used to be, and plunges swiftly into his neck, all in one unbroken smooth motion.
