Why Assasin's Creed Fails :( !

               assassins_creed

The concept of the game and trailer had incredibly excited for such a game. Sadly, Assassin's Creed was not it. Assassin's Creed, when you remove all the presentational trappings, was an unfulfilling, generic collection of boring mini-games and barely passable sword combat.

Before you assassinate a target, have to complete a few additional missions around the city to gather information. There are only four different types.

  • Interrogation: A town crier will be spreading some propaganda. Have Follow him until there are no guards around, then punch him four times and he will start telling the information he knows. It is not that hard to punch. But After few levels gangsters comes around and they try to hit us too. But you can easily finish these missions.
  • Pickpocket: Like Interrogation, but instead of hitting X to punch the guy you're following you hit B to steal what he has in his fanny pack, which apparently was the height of 12th century Jerusalem fashion. Somehow manages to be even easier than interrogation.
  • Eavesdrop: This is the most easiest mission in the game. Its just you have to sit on a bench and press the "e" button to listen to a conversation. The infinitesimal chance of being caught drops to literally zero.
  • Informant: For all the ways Assassin's Creed attempts to craft a more realistic environment than that of the average video game, they sure didn't mind having a guy tell you, "I'll give you the information you need, but first, let's see if you can collect the thirty flags that I've scattered around the kingdom in exactly three minutes. Three two one go!" These missions are notable for actually being a challenge, which is likely why they kept them in even though they obliterate the fourth wall that the team had been so careful to build.

And some more assassination missions are there. And these are not compulsory to finish all the mission to assassinate the target.

The main reason for failure is that all the missions are same in 9 cities. Only the difference is the assassination target. When you go upper levels its just become bit harder. This must be the most boring game that i have ever played of UBI soft.
