The online journal of Johan Sundvall

Beside magic and snowboarding being my biggest passions in life I do have other hobbies, if you would call it that.
One beeing movies and the other beeing games, both on PC and on consoles.
And given my “expertise” in thees fields i though I would give it a shot and review some movies and games just for the fun of it.

At the moment i only play DotA ( Defence of the Ancient ) and that is because of many reasons. One of them being that its kinda the best game ever made and one of the other being that it takes around 1 hour to play. If you don’t know what DotA is then basically you suck and should be poked to death. Go to www.getdota.com and download it and just start playing.
You need to have WC3 with expansion but it will only cost you like 200 kr for both of them. Its cheap so you really don’t have
any excuses for not having it.
But enough about DotA ( IT RAWKS ), this time I am going to talk about Assassins Creed for XBOX 360.
I know its kind of an old game but it has its sunny moments and I did enjoy it. At least for the first half of the game.
Without further waiting here is the review.

Assassins Creed. XBOX 360.
The storyline of the game is that you are an great great great grandchild of an assassin. So some cool underground company have designed some sort of
machine that can reenter the state of your ancestors life, or something like that.
So ok… your great great great great and so on grandfather where an awesome assassin. Go gramps! He messes up an mission and
is demoted to n00b. This part really bugged me as hell. How can you go from being a super assasin to unlearning all your cool moves.
Thats just redundant but ok I´l buy it for this time. So to get back your cool moves and become awesome again you have to do some
killing. YAY! You are sent out for 5 missions in different towns to kill evil people. That’s basically the story line.

The graphics in this game is mind blowing. I mean really it can possibly be one of the coolest games I have ever played.
The movement of your character to the AI of the enemies are just darn beautiful. The fighting scenes are really enjoyable and the cities are really cool.

Ok now for some bad stuff, sorry there is some of it. The thing that made this game not being perfect is the fact that allthe missions are the same. You go to a town, spy on some people, get some info and then go kill the bad dude. Every single town is the same thing.
And you have to ride your horse to every town. In the beginning you where like really stealth and careful so that the road guards did not see you. But after 2 towns you kinda just ride like Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid and just don´t give a fuck.
The game overall is quite amusing but at the same time it gets kind of boring doing the same stuff over and over again.
Buy the game and enjoy the first half of it because it really is a great game. But lets hope that sometime in the future imagination will come to the creators of this beautiful game.
