New Hands On Info

Assassin’s Creed literally puts the sand in ‘sandbox’. The game is absolutely massive. Not only do you have the run of a three massive middle-eastern cities – Jerusalem (the only city we’ve been able to play so far), Damascus and Acre - and there’s also the assassins’ home town of Masyaf. We also managed to spend a fair bit of time tearing round a huge area of countryside called The Kingdom in between. Outside the cities, you’ll need to commandeer a horse to traverse the hills and valleys, and control of your nag is the best we’ve seen. You can even rear Dobbin up in spectacular Hollywood fashion, and you can also, crucially, fight from horseback.

I know it won't happen, but imagine if they had co-op. Just think one of you would hang back on the rooftops covering the guy going in for the kill with throwing knives and stuff, then when he's assassinated the target you plunge down and help him out in a brawl. Or, one guy distracts the guards feigning an attack on the mark and draws them away, leaving the target defenseless, then your partner goes in for an easy kill. So many possibilities, shame that they didn't implement it.
