Assassin’s Creed is a third-person stealth action game which takes place during the Great Crusades, in the year 1191 A.D. It chronicles the activities of an assassin named Altair by playing back the genetic memories of his modern day descendent, Desmond. Desmond is placed into a machine called the Animus, which taps into and plays back Altair’s memories, which are apparently encoded into Desmond’s genetic material.
Regardless of plot-twisting details, the basic premise and gameplay is simple. As Desmond is coerced into exploring his genetic ancestry to locate a specific piece of information for the doctors, you will switch back and forth between time periods. On one hand you’ll be Desmond as he tries to find out what the hell is going on and how he can escape. The rest of the time you’ll be the disgraced Altair, trying to work your way back up through the ranks of your guild after a mission gone-awry and unknowingly bringing Desmond closer to the information he needs.
