The animations look great, Altair's model is excellent, the rest are a little "odd". The controls and movement are smooth. The camera is pretty respectable, but you can't look down off the edge of buildings(for throwing knife kills). The gameplay is making me fall asleep. You can walk up to guards and stab them with the hidden blade, even after they have drawn their swords, I have yet to find one that parries. First boss was defeated by just tapping square. All guards show up on a minimap, so you are a little too aware of your surroundings. Assassin's creed wasn't a difficult game, but this is just too easy.
Reminder: Assassin's Creed, too, on PSP next week
