Assassin's Creed Altair's Chronicles DS

MODEL- 16339 VENDOR- UBISOFT

FEATURES- Assassins Creed: Altair's Chronicles DS
Assassin's Creed Altair's Chronicles takes you into a world where
you instigate chaos and become a vulnerable, yet powerful, agent of
change.
As the direct prequel of the critically acclaimed console title
Assassin's Creed, discover more of the story of Altair as he must
find "the chalice," an object of such power that whoever is in
possession of it can end the Crusades.
Altair will explore a fully realized 3D world traveling through four
cities of the Crusade's Middle East. The game, like its console
counterpart, will feature acrobatic moves and exhilarating combo
attacks that mix sword skills and kicks.
The setting is 1191 AD. The Third Crusade is tearing the Holy Land
apart. You, Altair, intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing
both sides of the conflict.

Reviewed on 2008-07-19 Fun game for all ages....Story Line Concept, not a big fan This 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 my son can't read just yet. Other than the storyline, the game itself is fun. The graphics are good, the game play is good, and it is overall a fun game. Just be aware of the story line. This story line could be very touchy especially in today's world with the strife still going on in the Middle East. Now the assassins strap bombs on themselves and blow themselves up in crowds of people, hoping to take out their targets. The "holy war" still continues today, unfortunately. This is why I had to give it a lower grade then it would have received from me. [...] I hope this helps with your decision to buy this or not. For some the story line may not be a big deal and just want to play a fun game, for others it could be a big deal. So I wanted to make you aware of it all.

Reviewed on 2008-06-07 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 a solid platformer, and I have yet to run into any of these so called glitches or anything. It's not quite worth 5 stars, but it does deserve a better rating than what it has now. Its probably worth 3.5-4. Heres to hoping Assassins Creed DS 2 is a little less of a platformer and more like the console versions.

Reviewed on 2008-05-09 Can't compare... I think I'm one of the few people who hasn't played this on the XBox, so I can't compare the two different versions (but there seems to already be plenty of those reviews). 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 to play out a bit more. So now, it has me thinking about buying the XBox version now, so that I can find out what happens next. I think it would probably be a good introduction to the XBox/PS version of Assassin's Creed. I know some other reviews mentioned having difficulty control Altair, but for the most part I found it fairly easy - possibly because I have never played the other version, so I didn't have to learn a new set of controls. There were some weapons that I felt they could've done without. I didn't find the posion daggers or smoke bombs to be effective at all in a combat setting. I mainly relied heavily on my sword, and occasionily the crossbow (which comes up later in the game, but isn't available all the time).

Reviewed on 2008-04-09 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

Reviewed on 2008-04-05 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 the graphical effects beyond the textured 3D are just unimpressive and unimaginative. The game lacks the stealth components and free-roaming game-play that made its console big-brother great. I was hugely disappointed and it was a waste of my money. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody.
