User Rating: 7 | Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles DS
By Aquabfan | Review Date:
I came into this not knowing what to expect being as I have never played Assassins Creed for any console. Although I believe that Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles is a fun game. It took me about 8-10 hours to beat the game, and that's one of the cons about this game, it seemed to be way to easy for my standards and reminded me of something like Call of Duty 4 DS or Star Wars: Lethal Alliance DS length and difficulty wise. I also did not care for the lack of voiceovers, everything is basically told with text. The 3-D gameplay and its visuals look pretty good for the DS's Standards.

The gameplay is not all that bad. I don't really mind the platforming style of this game. The map on the touch screen helps also although this is not a free-roaming game like I originally thought it was going to be. But I can't take anything away from the game or my official rating just because of that.

Now, overall I do not think this is the best or one of the best DS games ever created. You most likely will not replay it just as you wouldn't do to other games similar to this, unless you are a die-hard fan of Assassin's Creed. I know I'm probably going to take some heat for saying this but I do not think that the game itself is worth the $30 I payed for it. You would be better off waiting until it gets into your bargain bin. I basically just bought it because of all the hype, like I did with so many other DS games such as Call of Duty DS. I will probably be sticking to games that are developed by Nintendo for now on.

Also if people are having trouble deciding on whether to purchase this game or not. I would much rather suggest something like Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, but games this short should not be purchased for $30, and I could say the same for countless other DS games.
