Assassin’s Creed for the consoles was one of the best looking games in the current generation of consoles. Making a mobile version of the acclaimed game is no mean task, since it carries the expectations of the gamers who want the game to be as good on the small screen as it did on their consoles.
The challenge was tough, but Gameloft, the makers of wonderful games like Asphalt, have made sure that mobile gamers can get a peice of Altair as well, without much compromise to the graphics and gameplay.
Assassin’s Creed HD is the best port of a console super hit game to mobile that I have seen in a long time. The game puts you in the shoes of Altair and gives you no less the experience than the console version. In fact, I found the mobile game to be more fun and enjoyable (am a mobile gamer first, after all!) than the big brother, mainly due to its simple and intuitive gameplay, designed perfectly for playing on the mobile. What I loved most about the game was that the actions of Altair- the jumping, creeping up the walls, etc. - have been retained and since these are the most awe inspiring aspects of the game, it is good to see them in the mobile version too.
The game shows how capable mobile games can really be and was a huge treat for Assassin’s Creed fans and mobile gamers. This is no doubt, the Symbian game of 2008!
