Assassin´s Creed - Review

1st Day
My wife has bought me this game (PC version of the Assassin´s Creed = AC) today.
To be frank I didn´t experience any WOW effect during first minutes of play.
I am playing at 1900x1200 on 26" screen with full details at 40fps and to be frank I like TES:Oblivion outdoor graphics more. In Oblivion It was worth to climb to any high spot and enjoy the view. But here in AC it seems to me, that there are lot of empty deserted places with nothing else than ugly polygon rock.
The story is good so far, but not so intense as for example in the game called "The Witcher". The Witcher catches you and it is hard stop playing. Here in AC I do not feel this way... The story is moving from the past to the present times, but when you play ancient part of the story, you always see futuristic artifacts on the screen - blue numbers etc. It destroys the encient atmosphere and it always reminds you it is only a memory visualized by the machine.
The game interface is console like interface. So, you cannot save wherever you would like, you have to click MANY times to quit the game (I have already seen some YouTube videos showing that "feature - I can´t quit you"). ALT-TAB and ALT+F4 is highly recommended here :+/. You cannot load any checkpoint in the memory slot (chapter). Once I have loaded the game and suddenly I have appeared on the place (checkpoint) where I was never before.
You cannot switch on the subtitles.
So, first day with the game was average.
5/10
We will see what is comming...

The game is VERY repetitive and LINEAR... Lot of other game are too, but here it more obvious. You are always doing the same thing... You arrive into the town, climb the view point, receive limited range of tasks (steal, time limit, assasinate, protect citizen), assasinate main target, escape. On each location you can search for the flags, but it has no meaning except you can feel satisfied after finding them all.
Through the game you are developing new fighting skills (some of them have very nice animations) and to be frank the fights are the most entertainy things to do in the game. The difficulty level is increasing through the play. There more soldiers on the roofs and their fighting skills are also better later in the game.
The graphics has some minor texture errors which could be seen from the view points.
Again, average fun... 5/10
