I've played Assassin's Creed, up to the first assassination in Damascus. The grahpics are awesome, about as good if not better than Call of Duty 4's, but the gameplay is somewhat odd.
I love leaping across rooftops and scaling buildings, but there's something to be desired still.
For one, soldier AI is kind of underpowered. I can easily outrun anyone without a hitch. Another thing I was concerned about was the fact that you have to do 2 or 3 investigations before the actual assassination.
While they're not bad, and just a bit tedious, will I have to do this for all nine assassinations? I mean, at one point it's got to get boring to eavesdrop, run back, pickpocket, run back, then kill?
Though I'm sure the assassinations will make up for that
The assassinations themselves are some of the most fun I've ever had in a game. They start off with a cutscene, proving this person is worthy of the death he's about to receive. From there, you're free to fight him whichever way you want, sneak up behind him, jump at him and stab him with your hidden blade, etc.
For the first, I walked slowly through the crowd toward him, slightly shoving civilians away from me. I then started to pick up speed, until I was within about ten feet. From there, I jumped at him, unsheathed the hidden wrist-blade, and took him down. It was one of the most satisfying kills ever.
However, one cannot really compare Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty 4. While they have their pros and cons, they're two very different games, with different stories, and entirely different gameplay.
It's still a great game, but I haven't played it enough to really recommend it. I can say that IGN's review of it was extremely harsh though.
