It's like Splinter Cell set in ancient times.

Plus it's made by Ubisoft, who also made Prince Of Persia.

I smell a winner.

It looks good to me because the character appears to be based on Artemis Entreri from R.A. Salvatore's Forgotten Realms books (or at least has some similarities). Being able to use a guy like that is awesome in my mind.

Oh my god, I'm tired of explaining this game to people, look up the kick ass videos.

Anyways, I will explain it to you for your sake.

There are 3 MASSIVE cities and a countryside. The cities are FULLY interactive. You can literally climb anything that sticks out 2 inches. This is not an overexageration. I wil post some vids below after I'm done explaining. The A.I is smart and they actually think of how they are going to attack you. The game is somewhere along the lines of 20 hours in story alone, and then there is exploration and side missions. I have a feeling that the exploration will never get old because the size of the cities is just incredible. And on top of that, you can climb anything you see. You can even sit down on benches to blend with the crowd. That leads to another thing. Blending in, The cities are hugely populated and every person has a different face. Now you can walk like a citizen to avoid looking suspicious, or you can run, push citizens out of the way, and run in full throttle. If you ask me, and a bunch of others, this game is nothing like Thief or Prince of Persia or Hitman.

This is next gen. This is interaction. Now I sound like a damn commercial or trailer. Here are some GAMEPLAY videos that I suggest you watch.

I guess you have to appreciate your history. Crusader Jerusalem sells the game alone for me, (regardless of accuracy which it's suppose to have).

the groundbreaking controls. or the (supposedly) great story. or the unique information gathering gameplay. or the engrossing open world that reacts realistiacally to player's actions. these are all reasons that i think Assassins's Creed will turn out to be one of the year's best.

I don't know where you get your info from, but from people who have actually tested the game, it's nothing like that. You can climb lots of stuff yea, but thats where the interactivity ends. The AI was also INCREDIBLY stupid in the build from just over a month ago, leading to some of the most boring combat ever. It is all also incredibly repetitive, since you are mostly jjust assassinating people in the same fashion over and over (kind of like how in crackdown there are tons of bosses to kill, but it all basically boils down to the same thing). Also, the people in game don't all have different faces, just wait till you see the game and run across the same "person" dozens and dozens of times.

Nothing is innovative about it, it's all been done before. Could it be a good game? I don't doubt they can iron out the flaws by release time, but giving in to hype only leads to let down. Just like all those people who hyped games like Star Wars Galaxies, Super Mario Sunshine, Black & White.... Kids just hype these games up an INSANE amount, and are almost always let down. I would not be surprised if this ended up the same way.

PS: Whoever said you can't jump in GTA games, have you ever played them before???? Every GTA3 game you can jump in (though you can't grab onto things like in San Andreas, but that is beyond the point)

If anything, the game is going to be a sleeper hit but i'm with the TC cuz i believe there isn't anything huge or special about it. i just hate it when people make 500 threads a day asking "Mass Effect or Assassin's Creed" or COD4 or Assassin's Creed". Not only do i believe COD4 and ME are 100x better but they're no comparison in the first place!
