Basically, your an Assassin in Medival times, the Crusades to be exact. Your role is to destroy those who hurt others; you are never allowed to kill innocents, its against the Creed. You can kill civilians, but it takes a chunk out of your health, and the guards really don't like it much, so it should be avoided.
The gameplay is amazing. You can attack on your own, or counter attacks, using awesome animations, which, of course, are very bloody
You can climb anything thats climbable in real life, which is a very good skill in getting away from enemies.
Speaking of the enemies, they are very smart. They can counter your attacks-none of the attacks are one hit kills, however-climb various things (Not as many things as the Assassin can, though), and can gang up on the player, which can present many problems.
The story...is too complex to explain, and mentioning any of it would ruin the experiance for someone who hasn't played the game. You just have to find out for yourselves
I reccomend the game to anyone would likes a game with a good story, bloody fighting, and ninjas/Assassins
