I would like to tell gamers why Assassin's Creed is the ultimate stealth game. The game is free roam so the gamer can stalk his prey how ever they want. It features unique attacks and counter-attacks; if a counter-attack is performed it saves the gamer from taking any damage and inflicts major damage on the enemy. There're only 4 weapons the character Altair uses in the game; these are the weapons: a sword, a short sword with throwing knives, and a hidden blade (the hidden blade is where Altair's ring finger used to be on his left hand) . Two of the weapons, the throwing knives and the hidden blade are the most unique. The throwing knives are ranged weapons which replace the bow and arrow. The hidden blade is unique because it can kill someone in one hit, which is great for dispatching someone in the crowd. Unlike other stealth games in this game the gamer has to blend into the crowd instead of hiding in the shadows like other stealth games. The gamer has to complete his mission while trying to act like a citizen.
Even though the game has many great features it has a few flaws. The biggest issue gamers have in the game is not being able to swim. I think it's a challenge the developers put in, because already Altair is unstoppable so there should be a part that should even out the odds and it will help you hone your skills in movability. The other issue gamers have is the length of the game; they think it's to short. Yes it's a short game, but since it is so beautifully done that when a gamer plays only a part of the game they can't stop playing. Hopefully when they make a sequel to the game they will make it longer. One issue about the game that quite a few people notice is there are no dark areas you can hide. That is true; unlike other stealth games you do not hide in the shadows instead you hide in the crowd.
Assassin's Creed has a vast map, you can explore 4 cities and a land mass connecting all the cities called "The Kingdom" in which you use a horse to travel from one city to another. The 4 cities are: Jerusalem, Acre, Damascus and Masyaf. The gamer will also have fun scaling buildings and walls and jumping roof top to roof top. Scaling walls and jumping from roof top will be essential skill for running away from the guards when they are after you for killing the target. To kill a target the gamer just doesn’t go over to him and stabs him. He has to dig up information first so he knows more about the targets behavior. The ways that available to get info are: eavesdropping, forceful interrogation, pick pocketing, and completing small tasks for there fellow assassins who will give the gamer information about his target. I think the whole idea of not using shadows as cover is new and great. It is unique then other stealth games. Any assassin can hide in the shadows, but a good one can hide anywhere including a crowd. That is why I think it is the ultimate stealth game.
