First Screenshots of "Assassin's Creed" for the iPhone

IGN just posted the first exclusive screenshots of Gameloft's upcoming title "Assassin's Creed" for the iPhone. The game will hit the AppStore in a few weeks and the price is speculated somewhere between $5.99 and $9.99

As the master assassin Altair you must explore the bustling metropolises of the Holy Land to uncover "The Chalice," a sacred artifact held by the Templars. According to your superiors at The Order of the Assassins, stealing the Chalice has the potential to end the Crusades.

You must rely on a medieval form of parkour — think urban gymnastics with minaret flair — to clamber up walls, scurry along rooftops, and generally avoid detection from numerous guards, thugs, and vicious Templar knights. Altair's acrobatics are controlled with on-screen virtual controls that look quite a bit like the successful set-up from Gameloft's Hero of Sparta.
