What's Hot: Stunning environments; Great controls; Superbly done set-piece missions
What's Not: Too many repetitive tasks preceding each mission; Terrible voice acting

Status: Getting a jump start on the Game of the Year arguing!
But to suggest that this is what makes
Assassin's Creed worthy of experiencing would be unfair (and frankly, the story's presentation is such a mess that it would be difficult to argue this with a straight face anyway, subtext be damned). Yes, the game is flawed in certain areas, but it's a marvel in many more. Where
Assassin's Creed excels, it does so wonderfully. Thankfully, there are enough of these sorts of moments to make the less compelling ones worth going through.
This review is based on a retail copy acquired through Ubisoft PR.
