Description:

The setting is 1191 AD. The Third Crusade is tearing the Holy Land apart. You, Altair, intend to stop the hostilities by suppressing both sides of the conflict. As the direct prequel of the critically acclaimed console title Assassin’s Creed, discover more of the story of Altair as he must find "the chalice," an object of such power that whoever is in possession of it can end the Crusades. Altair explores a fully realized 3D world traveling through four cities of the Crusade’s Middle East. The game, like its console counterpart, will feature acrobatic moves and exhilarating combo attacks that mix sword skills and kicks.

Nintendo DS games use a proprietary solid state ROM DS game card format resembling the DS memory cards used in other portable electronic devices such as digital cameras. DS game Cards currently range from 64 Megabits to 4 Gigabits (8-512 Megabytes) in size (although the maximum capacity is unknown) The DS game cards usually have a small amount of flash memory or an EEPROM to save user data such as game progress or high scores. However, there are a small number of games that have no save memory such as Electroplankton. The DS game cards are 33.0 mm × 35.0 mm × 3.8 mm (about half the breadth and depth as Game Boy Advance cartridges) and weigh around 3.5 grams (1/8 oz).
Based on an IGN blog by the developer of MechAssault: Phantom War, larger (such as 128 MB) DS game cards have a slower data transfer rate than the more common smaller (such as 64 MB) DS game cards;however, the specific rates were not mentioned.
