Assassin's Creed: A Historical Adventure Set in Renaissance Italy

====================================================================

Assassino's Creed is an action-adventure stealth game set during the Italian Renaissance period of 1190 to 1215. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft for PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and Nintendo DS.

Gameplay Overview

----------------

In Assassin's Creed, players assume the role of a young nobleman named Altaïr ibn-Ahmed al-Masoud (voiced by Edward Norton in the English version), who is actually an assassin from the secretive Assassins' Brotherhood. The game takes place during the Third Crusade and follows Altaïar as he attempts to prevent the Templars, led by a mysterious figure known as templar Knights Templar Grandmaster, from obtaining the Holy Grail.

The gameplay in Assassin's Creed primarily involves stealthy infiltration of crowded areas like marketplaces, castles, and cathedrals while avoiding detection by guards. Players must use their parkour skills to climb buildings and scale walls to reach elevated vantage points for better visibility and sneak up on enemies undetected.

Storyline

-------

The game begins in the present day where protagonist Desmond Miles (voiced by Philip Glenister) is kidnapped by a secret society called the Assassins. They believe that he has inherited Altaïr's memories through an ancient artifact known as the Piece of Eden, which holds the key to preventing a global catastrophe.

Desmond soon finds himself reliving Altaïr's life in 1191 AD through a device called the Animus. As Altaïar navigates Renaissance Italy during this time period, he becomes embroiled in a struggle between two powerful factions: The Assassins and Templars.

Throughout his quest to stop templar plans for world domination by finding six Pieces of Eden spread across Europe - one piece per game installment until completion (Assassin's Creed II), Altaïr uncovers dark secrets about both himself and the true purpose behind these events leading up to Armageddon...
