It's a cool game, Longam. Extremely accurate as far as historical terms are concerned (Jerusalem, Acre, and Damascus were recreated from the ground up from actual surviving accounts and layout plans). The timeline of events is also pretty accurate (Acre is taken by Richard the Lionheart, so it appears burnt out and in ruins; Saladin and Richard's conflict at Arsuf is also included). Doesn't get too repetitive, or at least that's how I feel. All the major targets of the game are based off real figures during the Crusades, although not all of them were assassinated (one of them wandered off into the desert in search of the Holy Grail and was never seen again, but a little fiction never hurts).
I liked it, and the graphics are still beautiful to look at.
