ESRB rates new DS Assassin's Creed

It sounds less like a direct sequel to the first Assassin's Creed DS game and more like a companion piece to the console Assassin's Creed II, a belief based only on the fact that the ESRB content description notes that it is "set during the Renaissance." The only other useful information in the content description is that it's a "side-scrolling action game," which could mean the same kind of mostly side-scrolling play found in Altair's Chronicles.
We're not surprised that Ubisoft hasn't said or shown anything related to this game. The company was similarly reticent about the first DS Assassin's Creed game -- after announcing it in October 2007, we didn't see a single screenshot until January, a month before its release.

The first one sucked... just in case anyone forgot.

The DS one sucked, but the iPhone-version seems to be rather good.

Isn't the iphone game and the DS game the same?

I actually liked the first one for what it was. I didn't expect it to be AC (360 style). It was short and super easy but I thought it was better than half 3/4th the DS games out there

The 1st one was pretty terrible, but I'm sure it won't be rated M and lots of parents will end up buying this for their 11 year olds like the 1st one. I'm hoping the PSP version is decent but Ubi has kind of a dreadful reputation on handhelds.

Assassin's Creed: Discovery? Awww...they should come up with a good "S" word so they can do that lame double meaning initial thing so many DS games have. Like Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword or Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
I vote for Assassin's Creed: Discovery Semite. You play as a tomb raiding Jew!

probably will be ported to the iphone for way cheaper like the first one on ds...

A bit excited, but no high hopes for it. I will be keeping an eye on it though. Lets see if Ubisoft can learn from their mistakes.

Actually, I heard that the DS one was pretty good, but like Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword it suffered almost the same exact criticism: Too short of a game for how much they wanted to charge.
Which is sort of why the iphone version sort of took off well.
