Assassin's Creed - hands-on

We spent an entire day playing Assassin's Creed at Ubi's Montreal studio

Ubisoft was tight-lipped about the intriguing cyber-future-genetic-memory teasers that crop up all over the game, but assured us that players will know in the first 30 seconds what its all about. Some of the clues we saw include "synchronizing" with the surroundings, loading from "memory banks," and filling in strands on a DNA chain. There's also a point, after each assassination, where time stops and Altier has a brief dialog with his victim to further the plot. While intriguing, it doesn't much impact the gameplay that we've seen thus far.
