Assassin's Creed II: Discovery

Game » consists of 2 releases. First released on Nov 17, 2009

Assassins Creed II: Discovery is the Nintendo DS tie-in to the Assassins Creed II story line. The game will play much like its sideview platform/action predecessor on the DS Altaïr's Chronicles.

Concepts

Assassin

Assassins are people who are tasked with the action of violence against peoples, though their general aims are to be discreet and as minimally violent as possible in order to remain discreet if necessary.
Assassin Order

A secret order that fights from the shadows against the Knights Templar to protect mankind's free will.
Christianity

Christianity is a religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus. It is also the largest religion in the world.
DSi Support

Games that play on a regular Nintendo DS but that have exclusive Nintendo DSi features.
Historical Figures in Fictional Settings

Nothing helps set a game in a specific point in time more than having a few famous faces from history drop by to say hi.
Islam

Islam is a monotheistic religion articulated by the Qur'an. A text considered by its adherents to be the word of God given to Muhammad, considered by the Muslims to be the last prophet of God.
Italian Accent

Characters who speak with an Italian flavoured accent, usually second generation immigrants.
Jump

It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto building, onto platforms, or onto skulls, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
Midquel

A game that takes place concurrently with the events of a previous game in its series.
Piercing Weapons

Piercing weapons are designed primarily for stabbing and puncturing to cause damage rather than slicing or cutting. Examples include knives, daggers, spears, lances, needles, shivs or improvised weapons such as ice picks.
Priest

A master of ceremonies who performs religious duties. A common character class in RPGs.
Secret History

Designed as non-fictional, relating to real or known history, and to claim or reveal that these events actually happened, but were deliberately forgotten long ago.
Side-Scrolling

Side-scrolling games present the world as viewed perpendicular to the direction the characters are facing on screen. With a heavy focus on lateral movement, objectives are often met by moving from one end of a stage to the other.
Stealth

Using stealth often requires the player to accomplish their objective without being detected by enemies. Methods of detection can vary from game to game, and can be based on an enemy's line of sight, how quiet the player is, or even how the player interacts with the environment.
Third-Person Perspective

The player character is seen at a distance from a number of different possible perspective angles. There is generally a movable camera but it can also be in a fixed position. It most commonly refers to a viewpoint behind the player character.
Time Travel

The concept of a character leaping forwards or backwards in time.
