This entry hinted at the potential of an open world assassination game that's about one quarter as intricate as Hitman, but the second game was the one that nailed the formula. By the time you've finished one Assassin's Creed game, another one will be right around the corner.

Samuel Roberts: There are so many Assassin's Creed games that iterate upon the barebones original that I would never recommend anyone playing it under any circumstances.
