I've been wanting to get this one,but i just wanna know if it has any REAL historical figures in it.Because that would mean me not picking it up.

HUH?! what does the "historical figures" have to do with you not wanting to buy this game or not? <-----a little confused...please enlighten me.

historical figures? who gives a cr@p, you should just buy the game if it's fun and interresting, I know i surely will be, this is a great game with awesome graphiques, great gameplay and a good story, now I've just given you three good reasons to buy it!

sony get the sequel as an exclusive you blithering idiots.

and ultimate machine dont be a complete prat. buy this game regardless of wether or ot it has historical fugures the whole map is historical based on jeruslem in the past and yes there is some historical figures which king richard in it est.

Well, how many of these numbers ar from the PS3?   I don't know if these numbers help the argument that it should be PS3 only. 

Assasins Creed was NEVER ps3 exclusive. PSU stop this nonsense.

psn id: gingo.... ^ actually you are both wrong, assassins creed was once a ps3 exclusive but ken kutaragi refused to take it on board and help development because he didn't see its "selling value" or some crap like that so it wasn't all to do with microsoft dealings well in this case anyway

I hate Microsoft for buying all of the PS3`s exclusive, F you Ubisoft and Microsoft!

Assasins creed hasnt sold 5million its sold 2.5 million. The article is misleading.

Yes, it should indeed be a wake up call to Sony. I like this game, even if the reviews aren't the greatest. Hopefully this means Ubisoft will be delivering more quality games to us in the future.

Don't you think its lame to live in the past Sarad? Can't contemplate the past, you can only look at the present and future outcome. Overall, Ubisoft is capitalizing on this game and people seem to generally like it regardless of what console is on.

Could Sony possibly think about making AC2 exclusive?  Should they get into talks with Ubi now? I THINK SO.

micro soft has no oringnal developers SOOO THEY NEED TO STEAL UNIQUE EXCLUSIVES... y do u think ppl buy the 360... its a rip off ps3

all the guys u assasinate are real historical figures that disappeared in 1191ad but that not a reason 2 get the game its too repetitive!! this makes it really boring

ok umm am i the only one here who thought this game wasent that awsome ???

i mean every single mission is the same thing... and im tired of ppl saying you can do tihngs diffrent everytime and not get bored.... wrong u got 2 options go in killing or stealth ... yea this is a fun game... but man was it boring...

if it was exclusive it'd get crappier reviews and everyone would hate it.

Well,thanks for the replies guys,and i know you guys are confused so i'll put it this way:Family Acceptance,if they don't approve,then i don't buy(unlike many here,NOT the head of the family)Well,as far as i know,it's not some alternate history thing so i'm picking it up.Thanks for the help

its only 2.5 million, quit misleading people.  And it only sold that many copies because it is for PS3 AND 360.

IRONMAIDEN hit the nail on the head

I think the PS3 version will do well in the UK as the TV adverts are only showing the Playstation 3 logo at the end.

these "journalists" need to do some ACTUAL research, then just copying and pasting

if this game were ps3 exclusive it wouldnt do a fraction of what it did.  and why the heck is this pile of rubbage selling so well, man mainstream people are ret4rded.  i wish we could go back to gaming being a small niche for us nerds.

I gotta say, didn't think it was going to sell that well, especially with it's mixed reviews.  Maybe a million but 5 dang, at least it's a new IP and not a sequel I say.

This game comes with a new type of playing experience, and for me it is one of the best games for this year.Infact every hardcore gamer shouldn't miss this one.About the ps3 exclusive issue I don't really care that much since the game seems to sell better on the ps3 than on the 360.Keep going Ubi, hope u deliver us some exclusives next time.

Not even Ubisoft predicted this game to sell this many this fast!  As for the sales figure, everyone else seems to know the real numbers...5million is what Ubisoft is predicting for the 2007/2008 sales figure, not the total right now! (wait till the pc gets it aswell).

Great Game! Ubi should consider sequel and enhance battle system.

the game is very repetitive no lie which can make it extremely boring but I must say it did get interesting towards the end. They definetly will have to put more innovation behind it if there is a next sequel for AC to do well, but I know ubisoft can do it.  They should implement the case of being able to change clothes and blend in with the crowd a little better. Use NPC's to be apart of your mission like distractions ( one idea is like starting a riot that would be nice.) or buying poison from a character and slipping it in the targets drink. Theres many possibilities they just need to get creative.
