Assassins Creed review for Nintendo DS
Speak to any person over the age of 60 and they'll tell you – almost certainly at great length – that life was better in ‘the olden days'. Back then you could apparently leave your door unlocked, everyone was always polite and mould on any foodstuff was ‘the best bit'. But the times of yore of which they speak is clearly not 1190, the time of Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles, because here pick pocketing, blood-fuelled sword fights and torture are the name of the game, and a damn fine game it is too.

The original Assassin's Creed was very highly rated on its Xbox 360 and PS3 release, and although this DS version is naturally very different in terms of graphics and its lack of a true 3D world, most of the enjoyable, engrossing and tricky gameplay has been retained.
