Assassin's Creed could've been so much better than what it was. Great atmosphere, controls, graphics, attention to detail, and I enjoyed the combat system. But the Animus thing distracted from what would've been better as a straight open-world version of Prince of Persia. The missions were repetitive and boring and the assassinations could've been more involved. I think the combat and my general enjoyment of that style and history was what saved it for me. I liked fighting a half dozen guards at once, and the gruesome counterattacks never got old. I felt like Miyamoto Musashi. I hope they make things more interesting in the sequel. The game would be a lot better with some more character interaction and a LOT more variation in quests.
