Assassin's Creed: spilanalyse og beskrivelse

Assassin's Creed is a Third Person Stealth Game in which the player assumes the role of Altaiär a member of the HasHassin(The Assassin Brotherhood) which is not allied to either the Templars or Saracens during the third crusade. Altaïr's objective in the game is to assassinate nine historical figures propagating the Crusades in the year 1191. (According to Ubisoft developers, all of the main character's targets are historical figures who died or disappeared in 1191, although not necessarily by assassination.)

The player must climb tall towers in order to map out the city and discover the location of investigation targets.

The primary goal of the game is to carry out the assassinations ordered by the head of the Brotherhood, Al Mualim. To achieve this goal, the player must use stealth and a variety of intelligence gathering tactics to collect information on their target. These tactics includes eavesdropping, forceful Interragation, Pickpocketing, and completing tasks for informers, fellow assassins who will give you information in exchange for assassinating targets or collecting flags. Additionally, the player may take part in any number of side objectives, including climbing tall towers to map out the city and saving citizens that are being threatened or harassed by the city guards. There are also various side quests that do not advance the plot such as hunting down and killing Templars and flag collecting.
