The Da Vinci Disappearance by exterminat ©2011 Nicholas Laborde Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is a fantastic title, embodying some of the best traits of this console generation . Whether it be completely dynamic fights, open-ended exploration, larger-than-life building scaling and traversal, intense...

When kidnapped by an unknown assailant and forced into a machine with the purpose of retracing the genetical memories of your assassin ancestor to learn the location of an unknown item from the year 1191, it's hard to say no.

* Unique and interesting storyline; * Immersive and convincing through amazing graphics; sound and presentation; * Sword fights and assassinations are a lot of fun

* 1-2 hours in and you know what you'll be doing for the rest; * Questionable control over Altaïr's mobility; * Transportation can be a bit lengthy and over-used

Taking place 15 years after the conclusion of Assassin's Creed 4 you play the role of Adèwalè, first mate of Edward Kenway and Quarter Master of The Jackdaw. Sometime during the 15 year gap, Adèwalè has joined the ranks of the Assassin's and become an exceptionally proficient assassin.

Assassins Creed is best approached with no preconceptions whatsoever. If you play it with an expectation of greatness, then an unfair emphasis will be placed on the in game issues and that does not do the game justice.

Taking the leap of faith.

This game is very fun to play but it becomes very repetitive after the 4th assassination. Its just go to the town clime a tower find some people learn about the bad guy and them kill him, in return you will get new abilities.

stunning visuals; great climbing abilities

gets a bit repetitive

This is a one-weekend experience.

The next generation of open-city gameplay! Some of the best animations out there; Gorgeous graphics and starts out very exciting and fun

Becomes very repetitive and the story depends too much on there being a sequel

Embedded deep in the depths of The Redemption , the third and last installment of Ratonhnhaké:ton's journey to depose a power-mad George Washington, are the seeds of an Assassin's Creed experience that surprises and delights: naval battles that pile on enemy ships, thought-provoking conversation...

+ Naval battles provide some real meat; even if your efforts ultimately don't count for anything; + Bear Might power is mindless fun

- Full of (admittedly easy) busywork; plot is as cliché and hole-ridden as ever; still a few bugs, ? How did Ratonhnhaké:ton's mom break into Washington's throne room without spirit powers

For years now, Assassin's Creed remains one of Ubisoft's most popular video game series. The original showed terrific potential, although it suffered from repetitive mission design. The developers have been improving the gameplay mechanics and building upon the story of Desmond Miles ever since.

Ubisoft finally nailed the fighting mechanics; maintaining the flow of combat is one of the best aspects of the game; naval conflicts are fun as hell; an authentic representation of sea and land battles that took place during the American Revolution

Missions feel unrewarding and uninteresting at times; Connor's no Ezio (or Altair for that matter); initial release crammed with technical issues; there are many elements in the game that just seem useless (like hunting)
