Set in both 2012 and 1191 and revolving around Desmond Miles, a bartender who has been kidnapped by a company known as Abstergo and is being held in order for Abstergo to access his genetic memory (memories from his ancestors that have been passed on through genes) through use of the Animus, thus allowing Desmond to relive the life of Altair, one of his ancestors who was part of the Assassin Brotherhood in 1191. The game starts with memories of Altair attempting to retrieve an artifact known as the Piece of Eden, but he is stopped by Robert de Sable, a member of the Knights Templar. Altair attempts to kill de Sable but fails and upon returning to the Brotherhood is demoted to an Initiate by Al Mualim "The Teacher", who is leader of the Brotherhood. Altair is then given the chance by Al Mualim to rise back up the ranks of the Brotherhood by killing 9 key figures within the Holy Land, taking you to places such as



Most of the gameplay is centred around Altair with a few parts where you control Desmond and find out more about the company Abstergo. As you progress through the ranks of the Brotherhood as Altair you learn new abilities which help you defeat your foes. The game requires you to use your abilities to find clues and information on how to assassinate key figures within the game, you can interrogate people, do tasks for people within your Brotherhood in exchange for what they know and when you aquire enough information you can take on your target to help take down the Knights Templar and remove them from the Holy Land. There are also additional achievements for things like surviving a jump from a certain height, kill a certain amount of foes in one fight or take out all the Templars scattered throughout the Holy Land. The game is only single player so those of you who enjoy multiplayer may not enjoy it as much but it is still a quite enjoyable game and it has a great plot line which is based around historic characters and events, making for a bit more substance to the game.

I give it a 9/10 as it is a great game and has fantastic graphics which just draw you in. The game has great replayability as there is a lot to do within it.
