First thoughts - Assassin's Creed

Last night my brother dropped off Assassin's Creed for my birthday.  I first saw the game a few weeks back and was amazed at how pretty the game looked.  There are lots of great panoramic views and although the game play (especially the camera controlling) takes some getting used to, the end result is very cinematic.

So far the plot is very interesting as well but I have a history of easily tiring of single player campaign-style games.  We'll see how this one stacks up!
