Assassin's Creed review Xbox 360Our Assassin's Creed review for Xbox 360 takes a look at the good, and the bad, in the year's most successful new IP. You'll have to have been living in a hermit's cave to have missed the campaign for Assassin's Creed and the gorgeous trailers have had gamers whipped into a frenzy of excitement as Assassin's Creed looks to deliver the most movie like action, stealth adventure game ever. We look at whether the graphics have meant a sacrifice to gameplay, or whether all the new twists and gameplay we were hoping for made it into the Assassin's Creed game.  Assassin's Creed review for Xbox 360 Why? Because the adventure centres around groups of believers, assassins and village beggars in ancient recreations of Damascus and Jerusalem. You play Altair (an assassin in a past life) and enter this ancient world through a time travelling machine that interprets memory through the DNA of Altair's present day form - a reformed criminal who claims to be a bartender. The people forcing you to go on your virtual journey are seeking a secret buried in your brain. These people are a strange duo of a mad professor and a sweet lab girl, played by Kristen Bell out of Heroes. Step into the machine and the virtual world looks incredible. Even after Bioshock and the amazing Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed dazzles. It's the most convincing and free roaming world ever to appear in a game. Think GTA meets Robin Hood. Villagers can be shunted, stabbed and will openly comment on your amazing free running skills. Climbing buildings like Spider-Man in a flowing white robe, the villages looks vast and are open for exploration although the path through the game is very linear.
