ok, first we got the honer of getting call of duty 4 on the little dual screen game system then ninja gaidan dragon sword and now this!:

ITS ABOUT TIME NINTENDO GOT DOWN AND DIRTY(exept for manhunt 2 :O)
sorry for caps but nintendo is being a rockstar this year! hell halo 3 could be next XD  

Ok pros and cons time:
Pros:
-assasins creed on the ds looks graphically beautiful
-nintendo finally gets a super hit game from rival consoles on its little handheld :3
-portable assasinations=ftw
Cons:
-rated "T"?! wtf?!
-with graphics these good, there must be a catch.....short time playing the game perhaps...i hope not D:

its not out yet and according to gamestop it will include:
stylus movement
easy-to-use equipment screen
takes place before the 1st game

and according to rumor and message boards:
new weapons might be included
MIGHT be linear....but its just a rumor

i am scepticle when it comes to DS games, call of duty 4 was great on a DS and hopefully this wont dissapoint :o

you forgot to mention it is the PREQUEL TO THE CONSOLE VERSION

isnt it exciting

I thought the box art pretty much told us that, Niitaka.

I'm not impressed, just a cash-in on (IMO) the biggest letdown of 2007.

considering assassin's creed only real saving grace was the combination of its huge, flowing, relatively seamless and bustling world and amazing graphics, i'm going to go ahead and say this will blow terribly since it is not even really conceivable for it to have either.  i guess maybe the exploration factor might still be there to some extent, but the areas wouldn't be nearly as big and would probably be more like ZONES than one seamless city, and who wants to explore in some grainy, low-res version of damascus to begin with?

but yeah awesome !!!!

ok.....i have been gone way too long -.-
how many sarcastic jackasses are there on this forum now?

ok maybe the DS does not have the greatest graphics but look at games like FFIII, metroid prime hunters, or super mario 64 DS
some titles on the DS look great

Why do so many people hate Assassin's Creed?

Hopefully it won't be the same thing over and over like the original

Go here, kill this man, listen to to this conversation, pick pocket this guy, Make assassination. Repeat.

What else is an Assassin supposed to do?

If the stylus oriented movement and action controls are anything like Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, that aspect of the game could be pretty nice.

that would make the game cool but you would be in dire need of a stylus!
they can be lost easily :O

edit:
current release date confirmed: Febuary 2008 (i have no doubts of there being delays though)

yo this is like the single worst argument in the history of arguments.  well of course it is boring and highly repetitive and totally lacking in variety what do you think being a REAL ASSASSIN is about??? (ps dont you know anything about games absolute realism >>> funfactor and enjoyment)


well aboutasoandthis i somehow (idk how) get the impression that being a REAL LIFE ASSASSIN actually entails slightly more than picking some guy's pocket, listening in on a conversation that's barely above a whisper and hearing it perfectly from fifty feet away, beating the piss out of some guy in public, then wrapping it up with a hasty assassination that was somehow made possible by the incredibly basic information the first three tasks provided you with, and repeating this process throughout the entirety of your career.  maybe i'm WAY OFF THE MARK dude but that is just the impression i get.
