‘Assassin’s Creed’ and ‘Donkey Kong Country’ sequels new this week
New video game releases this week:
“Donkey Kong Country Returns.” — (available Sunday) Retro Studios continues the long-running Nintendo series on the Wii with this side-scrolling adventure. Donkey and Diddy Kong can team up for special moves in co-op play modes and players are given the choice of using the Wiimote and Nunchuk controllers, or to play with a Wiimote held sideways. It’s meant to be a big, colorful, action-packed romp and, based on the short time we’ve had playing it, it definitely delivers. Rated E for Everyone. $50, for Nintendo Wii.
“Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood.” — Master assassin Ezio returns to Italy, this time trying to unlock the secrets of a dark conspiracy in Rome. The game allows you to collaborate with Leonardo da Vinci and Niccolo Machiavelli, among others, while training your own band of young assassins. It’s also the first “Assassin’s Creed” game to feature multiplayer modes. Rated M for Mature. $60-$100 in Standard and Collector’s Editions, for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
