Reviews: Assassin’s Creed 2: Discovery
Ezio does it, but not very well.
Assassin’s Creed: Altair’s Chronicles on DS was the feeble little brother to Assassin’s Creed’s good looking next-gen bully, and the little brother promptly found itself the victim of a massive wedgie in the middle of the schoolyard. Still sulking, and wearing tighter trousers, Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery has learnt its lesson. It’s pinched the plot from its bigger brother, but that’s about it. The third dimension is shunned, Discovery preferring to play it safe as a speedy side-scrolling action-platformer. The problem is, it’s decided to abandon imagination in case it gets caught out again and what we’ve got is a walking shell of a game lacking in real thrills.
