After testing the App Store market last year with a series of language-learning utility apps, console publisher Ubisoft has launched its first major game title for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery ($9.99) is an original entry in Ubisoft’s stealth-action franchise, ported from the Nintendo DS.
Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery features many of the same gameplay elements that defined the franchise’s console titles, and adapts them to fit in the context of a side-scrolling platformer. Players use an analog control bar to sneak protagonist Ezio past his pursuers, with context-sensitive action buttons controlling jumps and attacks.
Like the Gameloft-published predecessor title Assassin’s Creed: Altair’s Chronicles, Discovery serves as a side-story to the core franchise, and promises to reveal new details about the Assassin’s Creed universe. Discovery features eight missions in all, and includes a selection of gameplay-extending unlockables and special features.
