Assasins Creed

Today I returned to the much referenced Creed and its still as disappointing today as it always was.
The core game-play and the control scheme is still one of the best ever created which is intuitive and fluent, at times giving a true feeling of what it is like to be Altair.
However it is extremely repetitive and quite frankly boring in parts. the investigations are uninspired and citizens will repeat the same phrases over and over again. the plot is intriguing but the sort of "half cut-scenes" don't do it justice, which is such a shame because it really is great and morality is called into question more than once.
The next step for the team behind AC should be to create a free running game in the same vein as mirrors edge with minor combat sections, which would be quite frankly amazing. Also id like to take a sentence to blame he hype machine for turning the game into something its not, which would have left far fewer disappointed gamers if that element had been completely removed
