I've never played any of the Assassin Creed games, the always online thingie just scared me away. What would they compare to, are they crpg's or more like Tomb Raider?
Definitely not RPGs. I guess you could say they're action-adventures. I only played the first one, and I grew tired of it about half-way through. The visuals and animation are top-notch, but the gameplay is extremely repetitive. I've heard the sequels are better, but it's not my cup of tea in general.
