You take a contract, fi nd your target, and kill
him. It’s that simple. Except it’s not. Instead of
another modern-day version of Hitman, Ubisoft:
Montreal has created a medieval Agent 47 who
makes his way through the sandbox that is
Crusades-era Jerusalem.
The catch is that you’re a free-running
assassin, and your biggest problem isn’t the
mark fi ring arrows at you or the town constabu-
lary, but rather the thronging crowd fi lled with
beggars, merchants, and other townsfolk. How
do you catch your target without drawing too
much attention to yourself? Simple, you get off
the streets and instead climb walls, swing from
scaffolds, and dance across rooftops. Unlike
Prince of Persia, in which your wall-walking is
limited to specifi c areas, in Assassin’s Creed, if
you can see it, you can climb it.CROWD SURFER
