Strangely enough, Altair's Chronicles feels more stealth-centric than its console predecessor. [Mar 2008, p.87]
A fun platformer that ends up feeling more like Prince of Persia DS than Assassin’s Creed. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as the DS could use more action games like this. Sadly, the adventure lasts about a weekend, and there are no real unlockables after beating the game aside from an extra difficulty mode.

Игра средняя. Игра интересна: лёгкими головоломками, изучением локаций, боевкой. Если не играл в первого Assassins Creed, то не поймёшь всей сути игры. Игра хороша но не идеальна.

Impressive in some places, but downright clumsy and unpolished in others. Proof that trying to squeez a 'big' console game onto the DS isn't always gonig to work. [Apr 2008, p.91]
The three-dimensional game world is basically linear, but a brave attempt to add verticality adds some scope.
Nothing to see here. [May 2008, p.65]
Even though there were some issues in the execution of the game, it was still an enjoyable ride, albeit short.
AC: Altair's Chronicles is a title that I feel was ambitious, especially for the time. However, the ambition did not age well.
Visually, the game looks really good. It has a neat concept considering the DS's limitations and it does a fairly good job of working the gameplay around that. I think many of the minigames that Gameloft implemented come off as gimmicky and unnecessary.
The combat is that titular classic AC style. Block, counter, block, counter, block... you get the idea. The moderate satisfaction you get from that is ruined by the frame-rate which is just horrid. While alone, you get 20-30 fps. When you come into a busy scene or combat, the framerate tanks to single digits and it felt like I was playing a slideshow at times.
I think the game on the DS showed potential and that was recognized by Ubisoft when they released other AC Chronicle titles.
Due mostly to the abhorrent frame rates I cannot recommend this to anyone.

The gameplay it’s... ok: some parts are so boring and frustrating, you can literally kill every basic enemy with X+X until you get Y+Y+X, nothing else is needed in order to complete the game, the spikes insta-kill the player and some jumps are odd and the history is mostly interesting. In matter of bugs and glitches, there is some invisible walls that you can climb, and parts when those walls can leave you out of bounds. I did not have fun while playing this game, but it’s really ok for being a 2008 game released for the DS and mobile.

Horrible frame rates, and combat system. Minigames are pretty bad. Storyline is too simple. But I guess it is a good one, to its prize.
