Default AssassinCreed Game

Now this is an interesting website.

My daughter has this game for her xbox 360 so I'll have to check it out this weekend.

http://assassinscreed.uk.ubi.com/experience/

Just an FYI....

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.

Liked it quite a bit too. The gameplay was very good IMO, very smooth.

My dispatcher at work said he played this onthe Xbox. Couldn't put it down...said the game play was great and the tasks at hand were fun to execute. I however and still stuck on hitman for this type of action...love the game and its not all out running all the time.

1 min point and that is becouse you don't get any extra if you collect al the flags, besides that it's a great game , don't think that AssassinCreed 2 will be that good
it plays in de future
And of course Dowly like the game also , his grandpa is in it ! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Both are games, both have swords, both are a little open ended.
That's enough for me to start comparisons.

Actually I prefer SilenthunterII

The gameplay in that video is from Metal Gear Solid 4 where an Altair costume is available to Snake, not from Assassin's Creed 2.
