Video Game Reviews of Assassin's Creed Altair's Chronicles
Customer Review: Fun game for all ages....Story Line Concept, not a big fan
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a fun game to play. My three year old son has really enjoyed beating up the bad guys with his sword. It has some reading, but it really isn't necessary to be able to read, since you just follow the arrow to where you need to go. He has really enjoyed it so far. The story line is that you are basically on the other side of the crusades and the Templers are the "bad guys". So you are an assassin killing off the Templar. Not exactly the "team" I really would be on, so it is probably best my son can't read just yet. Other than the storyline, the game itself is fun. The graphics are good, the game play is good, and it is overall a fun game. Just be aware of the story line. This story line could be very touchy especially in today's world with the strife still going on in the Middle East. Now the assassins strap bombs on themselves and blow themselves up in crowds of people, hoping to take out their targets. The "holy war" still continues today, unfortunately. This is why I had to give it a lower grade then it would have received from me.
[...]
I hope this helps with your decision to buy this or not. For some the story line may not be a big deal and just want to play a fun game, for others it could be a big deal. So I wanted to make you aware of it all.
