Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Review

Post by TheSold3y »

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is a historical third person, stealth action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in November 2010, and was released for Microsoft Windows in March 2011. The game is also available through OnLive. The game is a direct sequel to Assassin's Creed II, with Ezio Auditore da Firenze and Desmond Miles returning as the main protagonists, and it takes place right after the conclusion of the previous game's story. It is the first game in the main series to feature a multiplayer mode.
In the following review, I'm going to deal with the following topics about Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood:
  • • Graphics
    • Gameplay
    • Story
    • Sound

Graphics
Game graphics vary depending on which system you're playing on, but all in all they are good. You have tremendous foresight over Rome and the textures in Rome are really beautiful. Get your own experience here:
The grapics of the Computer are even bettern than this! Higher Resolution and greater foresight make Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood one of the best looking games 2010/11.

Gameplay
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is a third person action-adventure video game with main emphasis on sandbox style gameplay in an open world. Like the previous installments, the gameplay's core mechanics are based on parkour & climbing movements, crowd stealth, assassinations and melee fighting system. The combat system features several improvements and for the first time in the series.

The game introduces a brand-new management system: the player can recruit new members by destroying any of twelve "Borgia towers" around Rome where troops are stationed, then rescuing threatened citizens in their districts from harassing guards. The player, as Ezio, can then send them to missions around Europe or call them for support during missions by pressing "T". The assassin recruits are also able to provide arrow support for the player. Tasking the Assassins is necessary to make them gain experience. Assassins can die on missions, from which they will not return. Ezio gets new gadgets, such as Leonardo da Vinci's parachute, which can be used when jumping from tall buildings. The player is also featured by getting poison darts, a faster acting poison, a crossbow, and the ability to hold and throw heavier weapons like axes.



Within the story line of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Ezio needs to destroy Borgia towers which prevent Ezio from renovate all the stores in rome. There are 12 towers to destroy. When you destroy a tower you are able to renovate all the stores that had been in this area to gain money from them in time periods. Later in the game you won't have any money problems because of those stores that give you the needed money.

Moreover there is another new feature in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. You can ride horses now inside Rome. This is really necessary because otherwise you would spend about 20 minutes to run from the one side of Rome to the other. The horses are a really nice idea because additionally you are able to fight from the top of the horses and they even help you to escape from several missions.

You may ask now how Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is motivating you to do all these things. One of the best things of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is the mission design. The most people will think that you are doing the same all the time. Basicaly this is ture but I've never seen the same thing so amesomly suited like in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. You are going to eliminate many people in ACB. For example you need to find a banker of the borgia family. During the mission you are climibing up the pantheon, slip in the role of a roman officer, cover in the crwod and much more.

Story
Using the Animus 2.0, Desmond attempted to relive one of the late memories of his ancestor, Ezio Auditore, hoping that it would reveal the location of the Apple. However, instead of entering the 1507 memory, he was forced into a different one, occurring during a battle in Viana. From there, as Ezio looked upon the besieged Viana Castle, he recalled the similar events of the siege of Monteriggioni, subsequently forcing Desmond back further, into a memory from 1499.
Then the story of Ezio is being told in the next 15 hours. Desmond only appears in the endgame again. Ezio lost the Eden-Apple and now needs to recover it. Because Ezio wants revenge from the attack on Monterggioni by Cesare Borgia, he now founds a brotherhood to destroy the finance system of the Borgia because Ezio wants to make the troops of Cesare Borgia revolt. Cesare, who isnt in Rome because of his Conquests around Italy, comes back after Ezio cut down the borgia influence around rome. Then Ezio tries to confrontate Cesare for the next 5 years.

Sound
The soundtrack of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is one of the best ever created. In any situation the music fits very well. Also the music itself makes yourself feeling epic. Additionally all the effect sounds of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood are original and not artificially.
Rating: 10/10
__________________________________________________________________
Overall Conclusion
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is one of the best games I played the last years. The story and the gameplay are great. The multiplayer works & the graphics of the game is really good looking. With sweet graphics, and awesome combat play, I'd definitely say this game is worth buying. The sound of the game was also nicely done. The music and sounds fit very well with the game play. Last thing to say: If you want to understand the sotry about Desmond Miles, go and play Assassin's Creed 1 & 2!

Some sentences that still sound a little jerky, but overall a good attempt at a review, especially when it comes to the structure.
But as with Ironhide and his review, you're a little too generous and optimistic. For example the graphics are easilly one of AC Brootherhood's weak points, as the textures look flat at times and the character models and lighting look pretty dated. Sure it looks good if you overlook an enitre city, but when you get uplclose the engine shows it's age.
