Ok, so after much adieu I have finally beat Assassins Creed, and may I say it reminded me back of playing Cruisin USA for my N64, only in that I used every single fucking word there is to call belittle the cars that were on the screen. This game gave me much the same feelings. Now don't get me wrong this was a great game, and if your into RPGs and Twilight Princess you will be no stranger to doing the same thing over and over and over. The only thing that kept me going and doing every single mission in each city was the achievements, some came without trying and others I did because I knew it was how to recieve one. The story...well I have to be honest with you, I listened to podcast after podcast all through this game, I only paused them when I was at the buereu, masayf or a main assassination, other than that its all of the same noised and conversations. Again, itwas a fun game, the assassanations were fun, and the game was pretty failry normal as far as difficulty. The informer missions were ok at first then they got balls ass hard at the end, I am not a big fan of timed shit, and at time when I was going to assissinate someone I would do it and some dorky guard then look at me while I was blending in and say it was me and booom the mission was failed, and I had to do it again. Now that happened alot in the later memories, it pissed me off so much, and the mentally ill guys who walk around and push you, they caused me some missions as well, they pushed me into a guard. The other group that got to me towards the end was the begging women, now I know there was prostitution back there so they should have done that in my mind, I say support your single mothers, but only if they are on the pole. The ending was tedius, much of me cussing and screaming at altair only because his counter would punch a guy and not kill him, it was a toss up, sometimes you would kill him and most of the time you would punch him, it sucked because the fucking guy would get back up and you would have to fight him again, and let me tell you when you have 3 swords coming at you, there is no way to counter them all, I got my ass handed to me many of times, the final boss was not that difficult, I am not going to say who it was but the last person to assissinate before him was so much harder, maybe they put all their thoughts into that one and just said "fuck it" to the last boss and gave him novice skills. The game was beautiful, the cities were vast and with much detail, when I listened to the sound the sound FX was awesome, everything from his knives and sword jingling to the sound as you climbed a wall. All in all I would say play this game but play in sections, if you play it all in one sitting you will find the game extremely repetitive and boring, do a whole cities worth of missions, and then take a break for a little bit. At the end of the game stay for after the credits for one more achievement and the chance to read some emails on the computers, gain access to the conference room and read those emails...and thats about it, there was nothing else to search, the only thing you could do it go back to the animus and get what ever you needed, I still have a bunch of flags to get but maybe another day I will try those.

Frustration, patience and tons of bad words
