A spin-off of a popular franchise sees a markdown this week

This week, Altaïr is paying a visit to the Windows Phone 7 Deal of the Week slot.

Assassin's Creed (WP) - $4.99 / £3.99 $2.99 / £2.29

The benchmark of action-adventure games on next-gen consoles for your smartphone!

Jerusalem, 1191 AD. The Third Crusade between the Crusaders and Saracens is tearing the Holy Land apart.
You are Altaïr, a Master Assassin sent by the Order of the Assassins on a quest to steal the Chalice from the Templars in order to end the Crusades. The fate of the Holy Land depends on you...

Plunge into this direct prequel to the critically acclaimed Assassin's Creed™, offering rich gameplay and a well balanced mix of stealth, chaotic action, and puzzle-solving exploration in the midst of the fully 3D-rendered, historical Middle Eastern environments of the Crusades.

- Incredible variety of acrobatic moves for a very rewarding gaming experience.

- 6 weapons for both close combat and long-range attacks: swords, daggers, grappling hooks, and bombs.

- Skill-based mini-games put your patience & dexterity to the test: perform pickpocket maneuvers and make informants talk.

- Unique dramatic tension, intensified by 3D cinematic cut scenes and character voices.

- Collect orbs to upgrade health and weapons.

- Highly polished 3D graphics providing full immersion into a true-to-life Medieval Middle East environment.
You can find the game on the Marketplace here.

This game is supposedly really bad in that it has frustrating controls.

I got this when it was 1.99 and it wasn't worth that. The controls are garbage.

Controls are pretty frustrating at times but still a fun game.

I'll get round to finishing it at some point laugh

I got it on last years sale myself. But it doesn't even get near the AC console experience. I got annoyed at soo many dumb control parts. But I got it because of combination of on sale and 100% all AC games..:P

The controls aren't the best, but they make up for it with generous checkpoints, so patient gamers should still have some fun with this.

This.

I actually liked the game because it looks and plays like the 360 versions (well, at least from what I saw in the demo) but the controls just weren't doing it for me. And I was expecting it since it will be hard to make a game that is known for scaling walls and jumping across roof tops so smoothly transfer into a touch control screen. Maybe if they lower the game to $0.99......lol

Protip: CHANGE THE CONTROLS TO 8-WAY. It completely transforms the game and makes it 100% more playable.

I'm Captain "No WP Games Besides Final Fantasy Is Worth More Than .99" but this is one of the very few games that actually was worth full price to me. At 2.99 this is a steal and a half!
