Product Description
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is an epic action game for Xbox 360 set across a blend of present and historical time periods, that places the player in the role of the leader of a Renaissance-era guild of assassins out for vengeance against the remnants of the Knights Templar. Set primarily in Rome, this sequel to the critically acclaimed Assassin's Creed II features returning characters from the previous game and includes new features such as the ability to command members of your guild in combat, a new arsenal of weapons and multiplayer game support in which players can assume different assassin characters.
Story
Live and breathe as Ezio, a legendary Master Assassin, in his enduring struggle against the powerful Templar order. He must journey into Italy’s greatest city, Rome, center of power, greed and corruption to strike at the heart of the enemy. Defeating the corrupt tyrants entrenched there will require not only strength, but leadership, as Ezio commands an entire brotherhood of assassins who will rally to his side. Only by working together can the assassins defeat their mortal enemies and prevent the extinction of their order.

Defeating the corrupt tyrants entrenched there will require not only strength, but leadership, as Ezio commands an entire brotherhood of assassins who will rally to his side. Only by working together can the assassins defeat their mortal enemies and prevent the extinction of their order.
Multiple Ways to Play
Expanding on the game world woven across the first two games in the franchise, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood provides players with multiple ways to play. In single player mode you take on an engrossing campaign playing as Ezio, the hero from Assassin's Creed II, who has now risen to the level of Master Assassin. Here players scour the expansive environment of Renaissance-era Rome, tasked with ridding the Eternal City of the continuing stain of the Templars and in the process ensuring the survival of the guild of assassins. You are not in this alone though. Additional AI members of your guild are at your command, and can be summoned to your aid if need be. In addition to this, for the first time in the Assassin's Creed franchise players can compete with other would-be assassins in multiplayer action. In multiplayer modes players choose from a range of Assassin characters, each with their own backstory, unique weapons and assassination techniques. Choose your assassin character, utilize the virtual reality capabilities of Abstergo Industries' Animus technology and match your skills against other assassins from around the world. There's no time like now to join the Brotherhood.
Deadly Weapons Arsenal
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood features a wide variety of weapons, depending on the mode of play. In single player players primarily utilize Ezio's weapons of choice, the hidden blade and crossbow, while in multiplayer modes players gain access to a wide variety of weapon, depending on the character they choose to play as. Examples of this include: the Axe, wielded by the Executioner; the Fan, used by the Courtesan; the Syringe, the tool by the Doctor; the Dagger, used by the Priest; the Switchblade, carried by the Prowler; and the Claw, used by the Nobleman.
Key Game Features
- As Ezio, a legendary Master Assassin, experience over 15 hours of single player gameplay set in the living, breathing, unpredictable city of Rome.
- Recruit and train promising young Assassins. Deploy them across the city as you see fit, or call upon them to aid you in your quests.
- Collaborate with real historical characters such as Leonardo DA Vinci, Niccolo Machiavelli and Caterina Sforza.
- Use your hard-won currency to revitalize the crumbling capital city. Rally the citizens to your cause and unlock extra factions and missions.
- Swiftly eliminate your enemies using tools such as poison darts, parachutes, double hidden blades, hidden guns, and an advanced flying machine at your disposal.
- Choose from multiple authentic character classes, each with their own signature weapons and killing moves. With richly-detailed maps and a wide variety of unique multiplayer modes, you’ll never fight the same way twice.
Product Description
Ezio Auditore da Firenze returns for the last time, in a direct sequel to 2009's smash hit Assassin's Creed II. For the first time ever in the series a fully-featured multiplayer mode will allow you to compete against your friends, as well as continue the centuries old battle against the Knights Templar.
The multiplayer modes are no simple deathmatch game though, as you play the various different character classes against each other and play the role of predator and prey simultaneously. You won't be working alone in the single player mode either, as Ezio commands a whole team of fellow assassins. Each has their own skills and weapons and it's up to you to train and customise them, as they evolve throughout the game.
You'll need all the help you can get too, with enemy soldiers that are more intelligent and aggressive than ever before, in the biggest and most action-packed historical adventure yet.
Key Features
- Return Bout: Become Ezio the master assassin once again, with a new 15 hour single player epic that lets you take the fight to the heart of the Templar organisation.
- The A-Team: Find, recruit and train your own team of assassins, and customise them to work alone on secret missions or help you track down targets.
- Multiplayer Creed: For the first time ever in an Assassin's Creed game enjoy a host of new multiplayer modes and play as a range of character classes - from blacksmith to courtesan.
- Roman Holiday: Fight to liberate Rome from tyranny in the largest city ever seen in the series. Use your own money to rebuild landmarks and unlock extra missions.
- Weapons Master: Utilise a range of new weapons and equipment provided by Leonardo da Vinci, including poison darts, double hidden blades and a parachute.

Fun:
Once again the makers of the Assassin's Creed franchise have struck gold. The original game was good but repetitive so they improved on it, listened to what players were saying and gave us Assassin's creed two -better than the first yet with a couple of flaws. Brotherhood on the other hand is a further step up the road to perfection.
Graphically it is more or less identical to assassins creed 2, maybe a wee bit more polished in places and eagle vision seems to have been tweaked a wee bit as everything that you are not interested in is darker, so you can't really run around in eagle vision (but maybe that's just my TV brightness set too low since playing Alan Wake again...).
There have been a few tweaks to the gameplay, the controls are basically the same just more fluid and reponsive, the free running is as much fun as ever, in fact more so as Ezio swings from lanterns and up rope lifts without losing momentum. The option to restore shops harkens back to upgrading the town in AC2 but is more prolific and even allows you to choose what sort of group goes where, making the experience of 1500 AD Rome customized to your gameplay style. The side missions are more varied, allowing you to speak to guildmasters or mercenary captains to take them on.
Multiplayer looks amazing, as yet I have not been able to spend much time on it as no-one I know seems to have the game yet - they all bough COD last week so Multiplayer bu yourself is just a bit dull.....
All in all it would seem that makers Ubisoft have done very very well with Brotherhood, once again improving on the last game and since this is to be considered as AC2.5 I cannot wait for the release of AC3, which promises to be an amazing game if Ubisoft continue the way they are going.
Quite frankly - Buy this game, you'll not be dissapointed.

Fun:
A lot of people were worried that, with AC:B, they would do the same to Assassin's Creed what they did to Halo with Halo: ODST, and sell what was essentially a map pack for the same price as a full price new game. They were also concerned about quality, given the short year-long turnaround time between ACII and this, and concerned it might become akin to Call of Duty of any EA Sports game.
They needn't have worried.
AC:B is very similar to ACII insofar as we have the same engine, a lot of the same characters, same weapons etc., but it's different enough to warrant it's existence. We again follow Desmond and Ezio in search of the elusive Apple of Eden, the powerful artifact from a civilisation many years past, in their bid to keep it from the Templars. Ezio's story also focuses on the fall of the Borgia in Rome and the rise of the Brotherhood of Assassins.
Rome is a huge city, full of instantly recogniseable monuments and architecture, but during the period of Ezio's life it has lessened in it's stature at the hands of the Borgia. Part of your job as Ezio is to renovate businesses and rebuild damaged architecture, adding a new dimension to the classic ACII gameplay. The money you earned in the previous game had no real meaning after a while, once Monteriggioni had been rebuilt, but now you watch your finances more carefully in order to bring Rome back to it's former glory. In order to renovate shops and buildings, you must take down the Borgia Towers, which add more depth to the once-monotonous viewpoints.
Something else that will make players bounce with glee has been added - the ability to recruit your own assassins. This new gameplay mechanic allows you to call on your loyal recruits to aid you in assassinations and fights, and is simply a joy to sit back and watch. It does make things a little bit too easy though, as quite often you do just literally sit back and watch. That said, it has been well thought out, as you can dispatch your recruits to missions around Europe to give them more experience and level up, as well as earning more cash for you.
There are many other additions and extra things that give this game the richness and versatility it deserves - Leonardo's War Machines missions, Cristina memories, Romulus Lairs - all of these serve to give variety to the game and, more importantly for me, tie into the story of Ezio and the history of the period. There is very little here that is superficial, yet at the same time some of it is superfluous.
You get to spend more time as Desmond in this game and more opportunity to try out his assassin free-run skills. The majority of this is in the present-time Monteriggioni, discovering artifacts belonging to Ezio's time, but there's effectively no real benefit to the player in doing this section other than a little fan service. People wanted more Desmond, they got more Desmond. The present-day epilogue of the game though is very important indeed.
Other superfluous elements include the courtesan/thief missions which are there ostensibly to give you a little extra cash and unlock a few clothing items by their completion, but if you play the game well enough then you'll have no real need for this. To be honest as soon as I started the game I was renovating away, then in one of the main missions I was told that I was able to renovate stuff.
The story itself suffers in that it's simply about Ezio rebuilding Rome and ousting the Borgias, whilst the Borgias play out their story according to history, and each encounter with them seems disjointed, merely scenes from their time in the past. The epilogue is fantastic though, and Ezio's story is important in his influence on establishing the Brotherhood.
Overall this is a worthy addition to the franchise, with plenty to do and compelling action and gameplay. Not many of our questions behind the conspiracy of it all are really answered, but more intrigue is produced by the end. Roll on ACIII!
8.5/10
PS I haven't really played much of the multiplayer component, so I haven't considered that in scoring the game.

Fun:
The Assassin's Creed series is just getting better and better. The games have progressed from the overly repetitive first game to this latest instalment from 1500 AD Rome that is an excellently varied game.
The gameplay is the same style as Assassin's Creed II and you play as the smooth talking Italian named Ezio. You are required to complete a series of missions involving the assassination of targets using your hidden blade, the infiltration of buildings and the collecting of items.
The free running is perfectly fluid allowing you to scale the highest buildings or dart up nearby scaffolding to escape your pursuers. The sprinting and jumping controls feel very natural and intuitive making for a satisfying gaming experience.
Other additions to the gameplay include the ability to restore buildings such as banks and shops in the in-game environment. These can then earn you money which can then be spent on items such as weapons and armour. This is a nice addition to the game as it poses the question to the gamer whether to invest and build a business empire or to purchase armour and weapon upgrades.
Additionally you have the option to save citizens which can then be trained up and used to help you in the battle against the opposition. There's a wide variety of other opportunities available to the gamer to keep them entertained - for example you can collect the scrolls of Romulus or complete one of the many side missions.
Graphically Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is very similar to its predecessor. You can expect wonderfully crafted buildings and stunning landscapes aplenty. Clearly a lot of work has gone into the construction of this game to make it look so brilliant.
Another major positive of this game is the excellent multiplayer. Online you can either play as an individual or work as a team to assassinate others. Points are rewarded for how subtly and skilfully you assassinate your target making gameplay very addictive as you strive for the perfect kill.
Overall this game is definitely worth purchasing, even if you have not played the previous games. There is plenty to do and unlock meaning you are guaranteed hours of entertainment.
