Plot

The game takes place in 1491, in between the events of Battle of Forlì and Bonfire of the Vanities in Assassin's Creed II. Ezio Auditore da Firenze was told to come meet his fellow assassin Antonio, leader of the Thieves guild of Venice. He made his way to Antonio, to find both him and Luis Santangel, a Spaniard who needed the help of Ezio. Christoffa Corombo, Luis' accomplice, had a meeting with Rodrigo Borgia, who was interested in Christoffa's plans to sail west. Luis suspected it was a trap and needed Ezio to rescue Christoffa. Ezio rushed to the meeting and found out it was indeed a trap. However, Christoffa was successfully rescued by Ezio.

Then, Ezio travelled to Spain to rescue fellow assassins who were being held under the guise of the Inquisition, only to uncover a plot by The Templars to discover the New World.

Gamespot rated it a 7/10 on the Nintendo DS. Official Nintendo Magazine (ONM) Australia/New Zealand were more negative on the game giving it 55%, praising the game for the switch to 2D and the character animation, and complaining of Lackluster missions, poor level design and fiddly controls, calling it a a "Missed oppurtunity right the first game's wrongs" and a "By-the numbers platforming experience.
-GameZone's Natalie Romano gave the game a 8/10, saying it is "An impressive game true to the series, Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery is actually an entertaining title that makes the best companion to the console version. That said, the game is far from perfect but it’s easy to look past the flaws when the game is too fun to even want to put down. If you bought Assassin’s Creed II then you really must buy Discovery."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-8">[9]</sup>
