This game was probably the best that i have ever played. The climbing on buildings, riding a horse, fighting with swords, jumping around balconies and most of all i loved the secret blade to perform the stealth kills. The most interesting feature was the leap of faith, climbing on a tall building or tower then letting yourself fall down freely into a hay stack... it was simply superb.
The storyline was equally good. A previous assassin captured and slaved for a scientific experiment. A revelation that the human brain holds not only your memory but also your ancestors. The machine to take you back into time. The several kills to perform and the exceedingly difficult last mission these all make it a great game.
The meticulous planning that every kill required was interesting to note. You had to search around the city for eavesdropping, pick pocketing, interrogation, climbing view points, saving citizens all just to get a little bit of information and for making vigilantes who would help when you are in trouble.
There are small tasks given by fellow assassin's who are unable to fulfill their missions and ask your help in return for valuable information. That included stealth kills, collecting flags, etc.
I also loved riding horses through the countryside when traveling between cities. The horse ride was the most realistic i have ever seen in many games.
But the best part was sword fighting. You are taught certain tricks which increase your skill gradually. You can practice a fight and even a particular technique. At last you are taught how to take on 10 to 15 men at a single time. It was really awesome.
The professor in the end said "Do not get relaxed Mr. Miles, we will be back soon". Well whenever they come back they will surely find me waiting.
