Well I finished another of last years highly touted games. I garnered 660 Achievement points, found all the secret ones. The only ones I didn't get for the most part were the flag collection points. A boring and useless for the most part way to extend the hours of gameplay without adding anything. You know its funny, when I first got the game on it's release, I could never really get into it. I decided about 4 days ago I was going to try again.
This time I got into to it deep. At it's core AC is a hack and slash type game with some amazing sword fights,platforming, good stealth killing, and some interesting plot points that have some meaning pertaining to today's world. The game grows on you if you give it a chance. Some of the animation of the characters is amazing, the faces look very real and the characters say many different things. You would be hard pressed to say that the characters did or said much the same way, the main ones that is. Some of the city dwellers are very similar. The cities and area's are all extremely detailed if not a bit on the dark gray and brown side. This really sets the tone well as it is in the desert mostly, in a very dark time in our history. I felt this game portrayed the time period very well. I loved climbing the high points and getting the Eagle Vision, there was something extremely satisfying about it.
I really enjoyed this game once I got into it, I had to see it through to the end. I hope they do a sequel. As I find myself wanting more. I have to say this was one of last years most enjoyable games once I gave it a chance. If any of you like me put the game down after a few hours of play, I urge you pick it up again. Give it a chance, I think you won't regret it.
All in All this was one of the top games I have finished lately along with Uncharted.
