When I first heard about Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles on the DS I think I said what most gamers did ... "Huh?"

How do you take a game that existed at the level of Assassin's Creed and turn it into a handheld game? On the DS no less!

Over time we've seen a few pictures as well as some box-art but now it's time to check out some gameplay footage. When I first saw this I instantly thought about how underwhelming it was - then I remembered it was a DS game. Truth be told I'm a bit impressed thinking about this on the two DS screens - the question remains though ... is it any good?

I've yet to see a review but I'll be sure to share one if it turns up. Take a peak at the video yourself and let me know what you think.
