Do you run, or do you engage in some anno domini assassin work on anyone who stands in your way? This is just one of the many questions you will face in 'Assassin's Creed, the game that takes executional elimination to the next level.
Set in 1191 AD, 'Assassin's Creed' occurs around a time when the Third Crusade was tearing the Holy Land apart. Shrouded in secrecy and feared for their ruthlessness, the Assassins intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. Players, assuming the role of the main character Altair, will have the power to throw their immediate environment into chaos and to shape events during this pivotal moment in history.
Wander through the shadows of winding streets, or hide your face amongst hundreds of oblivious citizens, unaware of your murderous intent. Using an arsenal of particularly nasty looking weapons, you'll have to track down your victims before you're hunted down and hung for all your evil deeds.
