Assassin’s Creed 1000/1000
This game is quite a chore to get 1000/1000, but after playing through it I’m somewhat satisfied. The game lost my interest very quick, most likely a combination of repetitivity and collecting all the flags, but towards the end of the game it really picked up. The depth of the story was astounding, and I think I would have loved this game if the bits of the story came more frequently. The somewhat hidden back/sidestory that is discovered through the several computers that can be accessed is very interesting, especially what is discovered after the credits roll and you are thrown back in. A lot of the coded messages (there are PLENTY, and don’t worry you will not have to search for them they will be obvious by the end) point towards the next game in the series (I’ve read it’s going to be a trilogy?), and I must say despite the lackluster gameplay of the first I’m very excited for sequels.
I would definitely recommend playing this game through ‘til the end, which can be done rather fast if you skip some of the major Achievements, and I think that would definitely make the game much more enjoyable.
I haven’t picked up any new 360 games in a while, although I’m curious about both the Sonic Genesis Collection (the OG Sonic games are hands-down some of the best games I have EVER played, and getting Achievements for those would be awesome), and Onechanbara Zombie Slayer: Bikini Samurai Squad (that’s an approximation of the title, but whatever it is hot chicks cutting zombies sounds entertaining). Right now I’m keeping busy with Flower for the PS3, and excellent must-buy game for anyone. The innovative controls and addictively soothing gameplay is fantastic. I also plan on starting Killzone (the original on PS2) and trying to complete it before Killzone 2 comes out.
Until next game, Kaz.
