  1. While being an okay game, the DS version doesn't quite live up to his bigger next-gen brother.
  2. 70
    A surprising result on what could have been an afterthought, given the minimal presentation, low lifespan and side-story plot.
  3. Fair play to Ubisoft for playing to the DS's strengths, but this is a lightweight offering.
  4. 45
    Ubisoft, you've tried it twice on the handheld. If you work on a third, let's go back to its basics. Leave the stylus alone.

  1. No doubt one of the best games you can get for your Nintendo DS. Intense levels, a great storyline, hardcore mental challenges, and a sword, what can be better. Each level will take you to across to a place full of dangerous foes and obstacles that will require split second timing to get past. A perfect game for kids and preteens, even if they didn't like the movie. Expand
