description
As the direct prequel of the critically acclaimed console title Assassin’s Creed™, discover more of the story of Altair as he must find “the chalice,” an object of such power that whoever is in possession of it can end the Crusades.

Altair will explore a fully realized 3D world traveling through four cities of the Crusade’s Middle East. The game, like its console counterpart, will feature acrobatic moves and exhilarating combo attacks that mix sword skills and kicks.

The setting is 1191 AD. The Third Crusade is tearing the Holy Land apart. You, Altair, intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict.

Damn straight its crap but Nintendo is obviously going in a different direction with the DS and Wii. I think the DS is the best thing to happen to video games since the original playstation and Nintendo has definately pulled themselves out of the water and proved they are what started video games. For an old school gamer like me it don't get better than the DS. You wanna play assasins creed get playstation or xbox. Meanwhile I'll be kicking ass at Jump! Stars and Contra 4.
