8.0

Harris is pretty lenient, but still, I have my hopes up. Gripnote is hit or miss, in my opinion.

The game looks interesting. It might be worth it. It is too bad I don't have a 360 or PS3.

His review is biased when he says "I was one of the few reviewers that legitimately enjoyed the first Assassin's Creed on the Nintendo DS". The first game was an absolute mess so for him to have liked it speaks volumes. Not to mention that nobody else is giving AC2 that kind of praise/score.

A review is always an opinion. If you know you don't like Craig Harris's reviews then you have an even bigger reason not to take them uncritically. Unless you find you have perfectly matched taste with a critic then you should always look at multiple reviews and read the reasoning as well the score. The review has done enough to pique my interest, but then a fast-paced Prince of Persia game is right up my street. If it sounds like it's not for you, then don't bother. I'll probably pick it up further down the line; if it doesn't suit you, fine.

I know its his opinion but what I'm saying is...other critics more or less said the first game was a 3-4 hour broken game. Yet here he states that he "enjoyed the first AC". Whats that say for his opinion on the second? I suppose if you liked the first and/or agree with his reviews then this is all irrelevant. For what its worth...I've purchased over 250 DS games and the first Assassin's Creed DS is the only game I've ever regretted buying.....but this guy liked it.

Indeed *points at 360* Though it is interesting for DS with the side scrolling view.

It's not a different version so much as an entirely different game.

Like the new perspective in this one compared to the Assassin's prior outting. Looks pretty good overall!

Reviews seem to be all over the place so far. I think this is the same version the iPhone is getting - I'll wait for it to hit the App Store and save some money.

I'm one of the only people I've seen who liked the first one, even thought it was waaaay to short. Glad I didn't pay full price. It's like $7 now.
