High Profile assassinations involve a bit of showmanship you'll usually jump at your target and plunge your knife into his neck as the two of you tumble to the ground. Guards that are in especially close proximity to one another will usually be alerted if one of them is stealthily killed, but in many cases you'll have time to hit a second target with your hidden blade before they can draw their swords to defend themselves. You'll need to run away quickly, though, because if you stand around over a dead body the guards will make the obvious inference and run towards you. This allows you to stealthily kill a target without alerting anyone nearby even if a beggar is looking directly at you, they usually won't notice that you've just killed someone. Low Profile assassinations are pretty easy to pull off on unsuspecting foes simply get close and tap your button to take them down. If an enemy would detect you if you approach from the front, try to get behind them for a stealth assassination.

You have two methods of attacking with it: you can either walk up to someone in Low Profile mode and assassinate them from close range, or you can run at them in High Profile mode and perform a flashier kill. The hidden blade is your primary assassination tool. Thugs are the portly gentlemen you steal throwing knives from they hit pretty hard, so you'll want to avoid them if you need to beat someone down. Note that attacking a civilian with your fists won't cause the guards to come running (which is handy when you're trying to perform an Interrogation mission), but any nearby thugs will stop to join in the fisticuffs. You don't have a lot of combat abilities while using your fists you can choose to grab enemies and throw them to the ground, or punch them in the face, but that's about it. Your fists are the tools you'll use to beat on thugs and otherwise cause mayhem without killing anyone.

You have five main weapons available to you in Assassin's Creed, each with different abilities tied to it.

Check out our detailed descriptions of the weapons and moves that you have at your disposal. It builds on the combat systems of the Prince of Persia games and melds them with next-gen graphics and a taut style of acrobatic, open-ended gameplay for a game that's quite a bit of fun to play. Of course, it shouldn't be implied that Assassin's Creed is coming out of nowhere it is, after all, developed by the massively talented Ubisoft Montreal studio, creators of the Splinter Cell and updated Prince of Persia games. While games like Halo 3 are expected to garner their share of the headlines, Ubisoft has done a great job of keeping Assassin's Creed in front of gamers during the run-up to its release, whether by its secrecy about the game's sci-fi storyline, its long-time silence on whether or not it would appear on the Xbox 360, or by the somewhat controversial decision to set the game in real cities of the Middle East during the Crusades, an era of history that has interesting lessons for today's world. Few nonsequel games are the subject of as much hype as Assassin's Creed has been.
