Exclusive: Watch the opening level of BackStab for Xperia Play

| BackStab

We don't normally film our previews with developers, but we felt we'd make an exception with Gameloft's upcoming Xperia Play exclusive BackStab.

The video below shows the first five minutes of gameplay, with your character Henry Blake arriving in a besieged town with his old rival Kane.

There's a bit of parkour, some good old-fashioned action, and a brief glimpse of an early example of the open-world section to take a look at, so click below to see whether or not I'm right in saying it isn't Assassin's Creed clone.

Please note: the audio is about three seconds out of sync due to an errant video encoder. We've isolated the cause of the problem and will be sacking Will immediately.
