Assassin Creed Sony PS3 Xbox 360 SECRETS ARE HARD TO KEEP ... ESPEC1ALLY when they concern Assassin's Creed. The developers of the stealthy assassination simulator have tried very hard over the course of its development to guard important information from getting out most of it involving plot. The premise of the game has always been that you playas a medieval assassin who must find and kill nine Templars during the Third Crusade. That made sense all the early screenshots and trailers depicted a world that looked very much like the Middle East during the Third Crusade. And yes, you do assassinate men who look like Templars.
But if that wasn't enough, later demos of the game included a futuristic filter that appeared while targeting enemies. 50 the game must take place in the future, too, right? The correct answer is "yes," but Ubisoft continued to say nothing, thus revealing a very poorly kept secret. That's right the game takes place in both the near-present day and the during Third Crusade. (Before you start worrying about spoilers, all of this is revealed as soon as you boot up the game.) Big surprise, eh? But I will say that I really dig the Matrix-like take they went with the story. Without giving away too much, you basically playas a descendant of an assassin named Altair.
The twist is that you're actually reliving your ancestor's memories through a device known as the Ani- mus (Creed's version of the Matrix jack-in chair) against your will. I think it's a shame Ubisoft was so secretive about revealing this I actually think it makes the game far more interesting than it originally appeared. Though I'm focusing on a lot of Assassin's faults, this doesn't mean I didn't enjoy playing the game it attempts a lot of ambitious things and it almost succeeds at everyone. But hey, at least the ground work is laid for a killer sequel right, Ubisoft?
