Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is the third instalment of the Assassin’s Creed series.
The Story:
So the game starts exactly where it finished in the last game. Now that Desmond and the modern version of the Assassin’s have discovered a much bigger problem than the Templars, they must find another ‘Piece of Eden’ that is hidden in a lost forgotten Temple that was built by an ancient civilization known only as ‘The Ones Who Came Before’. But in order to do this, Desmond must enter the Animus once again to find the location by re-living Ezio Auditore da Firenze’s memories. Desmond’s Assassin ancestor from the 16th-century in Italy. This time in Ezio’s life we see the struggling fight against the Templars in the form of the Borgia family in Rome.
All your favourite characters are back as well as some new faces and the story takes extraordinary twist and turns that will have your jaw dropping in shock. Once again Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood leaves on another outstanding cliffhanger.
The Game Play:
Now the game play has not changed much since the last game. But just enough to make this sequel seem a little refreshing. The free roaming features and movement have not changed much though this time there seems to be only one huge map. However there are many optional objective maps that you can play. As well as the usual weapons as before there are many other new weapons you can unlock. My personal favourite weapon is the crossbow. Like before, everything can be upgraded. Weapons, health, armour, costumes and abilities. A fantastic new feature that has been installed is the ability to actually requite Assassin’s by helping certain citizens that need help from enemies. You can build up their rank and you can use them to help you out whenever you like. Whether you are in a mission or in free roam. Also for the very first time, Assassin’s Creed have introduced a new multiplayer feature where you can play against other video gamers around the world.
The Graphics:
As usual the graphics have become slightly upgraded. There is much more detail than before and there are also more dynamic environments that challenge the amount of detail and colour applied.
The Music:
Just like before the music is wonderfully created to continue the current Assassin’s Creed theme. As well as keeping the iconic instrumentals the composers have enhanced the previous quality and composed new mood swinging music to help set the feel for this game.
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood – City of Rome
So all in all I think this is a fantastic game and certainly holds it reputation of being one of the best run of games the video gaming world have ever seen. That is why I have decided to give this game 8/10
