Assassin's Creed 2: Discovery is a Platforming game. Platform games task you with getting from point A to point B. The world you journey through is usually based on different levels, and populated with enemies, switches and lifts to be negotiated. As you work through each level you pick up various collectables that accrue score, special abilities and access to hidden areas.

Frugal Gamer review Fri, 13 Nov 2009

Assassin's Creed 2: Discovery for the Nintendo DS gives you the chance to play a separate adventure in the life of Ezio, the Italian Assassin, fifteen years after the events in the main game as a supplement to the story to Assassin's Creed 2 on 360 and PS3. This 2D, side-scrolling adventure keeps the action moving quickly with a good range of stealth-based gameplay and hand-to-hand combat. With the addition of some climbing and jumping mechanics, this is a more arcade-style interpretation of the Assassin's Creed franchise which makes for a refreshing and satisfying change.

Differing completely from the 3D-action mechanics of the main console games, Assassin's Creed 2: Discovery for the DS is a welcome change of pace from the usual handheld ports of the big PS3 and Xbox 360 games. Instead of trying to replicate the main Assassin's Creed experience this DS version strips down the gameplay and turns it into a 2D side-scroller that's as fast and as frantic as a Sonic the Hedgehog game.
