 Rating:  - Fun game for all ages....Story Line Concept, not a big fanThis is a fun game to play. My three year old son has really enjoyed beating up the bad guys with his sword. It has some reading, but it really isn't necessary to be able to read, since you just follow the arrow to where you need to go. He has really enjoyed it so far. The story line is that you are basically on the other side of the crusades and the Templers are the "bad guys". So you are an assassin killing off the Templar. Not exactly the "team" I really would be on, so it is probably best ... Read More Rating:  - Better than expected.I got Assassins's Creed when it was on sale for $15 a couple weeks back, so if you can find it for cheap, than it is worth it, but i wouldn't waste $30 on it. After reading all the mediocre reviews, I had pretty low expectations for the game, but it defintely isn't as bad as a lot of people are saying it is. I, too, have yet to play the console version, so i can't compare, hoeever, you can't really compare a handheld version the console versions, its not really fair. So far, i think it's ...

I picked this game up a few weeks ago when it was a Gold Box deal, I figured it was worth a try for the price. Overall I found the game enjoyable, but felt that it ended too soon. I got to the final battle and found myself saying "that's it?" I felt very cheated by the outcome of the game. I would have liked for it ... Read More Rating: - Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles Very good, better than i expected from a handheld game, obviously does not measure up to original, but much better than expected, good gameplay, interesting plot, if a bit sketchy, some glitches, but nothing major, very good game over-all Rating:  - Unenjoyable.I simply did not enjoy this game. I expected a portable version of the console game, and I was largely disappointed when I played a mediocre platformer. The controls are clunky, and while the graphics push the DS to their limits, the unrealistic death scenes, cheap deaths such as hitting the water, and overall clunky controls with the D-Pad are just lame. It felt like a platformer from the Nintendo 64 age. And while the mini-games are fun, the lower-half of the DS is sparingly used, and ... Read More |
