While playing through Assassin's Creed, players are sure to rack up impressive kill counts. The assassins hunt down their targets, trying their best to only kill the target. Meanwhile, the Templars will do whatever is necessary to complete their task, including putting citizens in harm's way. Players have the ability to play as both factions, killing many targets across the games.
