Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Auditore Collector's Edition reviews

Assassin's Creed 3 is bigger and better than its predecessors. AC3 is more developed with its missions with missions requirements. You get to recruit and train new assassin's that help you during battle. Also developed is the rebuilding/money making in that you get to renovate all of Rome!!

Whether you get this version or the normal version you will be in awe of all the choices and possibilities available!

Love the Assassins Creed series and Brotherhood is no exception. Lovely and smooth gameplay that can last a fair while. Multiplayer is an added bonus too.

Rather than moving to a new time period, Brotherhood continues directly on from the events of Assassin's Creed II, only with the action shifting almost entirely to Rome. Like with previous titles, the action switches between the current day Assassin Desmond Miles and his ancestor in renaissance Rome, Ezio Auditore. After confronting Rodrigo Borgia and having his mind blown far beneath the Vatican at the end of Assassin's Creed II, the story picks up with Ezio ready for some well deserved R&R. It's not to be. Cesare Borgia – Rodrigo Borgia's son – is ticked off, and mounts a full scale attack on the assassins. The villa in Monteriggioni is destroyed and Ezio loses everything. With this, the entire story is set in motion, as Ezio is now determined to take his revenge against Cesare. The city of Rome is divided in to 12 districts, each of which is overseen by a Borgia Tower. Assassinating the Captain of these towers, opens the district to Ezio and allows him to renovate these areas with blacksmiths, stables and more, all of which, help with to add to his income. Also, in addition to renovating the district, burning down a Borgia Tower, also unlocks an assassin apprentice slot, which will become a distinct advantage for you later on in the game. All in all, Brotherhood is a Visually stunning game that'll leave you hanging on to the edge of your seat until the very end.

I played Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 but this one is a little bit different. Well you have different styles to play for example you have to finish a mission without letting anyone to notice you, or finish it without killing any one of the guards! How exciting!! Sometimes you have to pretend that you are one of the guards and finish the mission!

When I play this game I have the feeling that I'm playing one of the Metal Gear Solid games!

You will never regret buying this game! The best graphic ever, the best music, and will probably will get the game of the year.

Online is just terrific!! There is no downsides in this game ;)

AC:Brotherhood is an excellent follow up to AC2, continuing Ezio's story in Rome. The gameplay is familiar, but also new, with Ezio acquiring a few new tools and gadgets for dispatching his foes.

The size of the game is roughly equal to AC2, so there's always something to do, and if you get bored of that, there's always multiplayer, where you truly have to blend or risk being assassinated by another.

Another epic adventure, this time exploring Rome, more advanced single player which is deeply enjoyable. And more to the gripping multi-levelled story line. Although the ending will leave you once again gasping for more (sorry for the spoiler, but I'd hate to leave you screaming like I was when I clocked it >.< you know, ‘what? you cant just end it there!’)

“Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted”,I have played throughout the entire campaign, as this eagerly anticipated instalment of the AC-Series has been unleashed and has delivered 100% with the countless side quests, goals, storyline and activities you have at being apart of creating!!!!

Presentation/Grap­hics:- 10/10

As far as the Graphical display and enviroment settings, character designs, NPC's etc go The layout of Rome is captivating, from the landmarks to the marketplaces down to the Romulus lairs and the people around Rome all have their own unique style and status/background and cliques. I enjoyed spending time just in between the countless objectives and side missions you receive to explore and have a look at the surroundings while upgrading and taking the time to mould Rome the way Ezio intends it to be. It should not be missed the refreshing “lively” nature of the civilians and interactions with the enviroment in Rome that you do have the chance to reshape.

This is presented well, the detail is amazing and the fact that Rome is designed obviously to cater to your assassins style of roaming makes navigation so much fun and cinematic! Your friends will sit and stare in awe as you glide and swing through roof tops , hoping from horse to horse to assassinate guards via horseback and its hard to explain but once you gain the feel for your enviroment at times a split second comes naturally like a sixth sense to get you out of a bind, they've really made it user-friendly to take on the life and role of an assassin as you Master your craft. I personally feel the presentation is flawless, the camera angles are neat and tidy (where as something like my beloved Final Fantasy the latest instalment FFXIII had ALOT to be desired from its camera work), and as far as the people and the buildings in Rome go regardless of the fact that its ALL BASED in the one location in this third installment nothing feels like “been there done that”.

Gameplay 9/10

This leads us into the question, it looks great, but how does it feel to actually play through? Well its hard to say that any RPG player wont be distracted by the brilliance of how well its set up. Now to summarise you have your main memory triggers for Ezio that are layed out as standard from previous AC games that you can undertake to achieve the main storyline however you will usually find yourself immersed in the enviroment where youll notice a courtesan in distress or a Romulus lair that will lead you one step closer to that legendary armour or an assassination contract that triggers memories of Catarina Sforza (which is a tragic love story to say the least, however very engaging to be apart of!) , a Borgia stronghold that unlocks an additional potential assassin to your brotherhood etc etc you get the point there. There are TONS of stuff to do and objectives to meet although you may feel subjected to so many things to do , it will NEVER be a chore they've designed this in various ways to find the repetitive more exciting in a dynamic and as mentioned earlier cinematic approach e.g: Ezio will have to track someone to obviously assassinate the target but in order to do that he'll have to play as a guard and find your way to that goal without pozing suspicion with the troops! Or Ezio's task will be to achieve certain objectives via stealth killing but have to use your assassins that youve been annointed the task of leading without being noticed by the guards.

Now this needs special mention as I feel its such a fantastic addition to the AC series I wonder if it will remain from the Brotherhood in AC 3? The Assassins basically get given to you as rookies who you acquire by delivering destruction to Borgia towers and settlements stationed around Rome, once doing so it enables you to save certain individuals who have the potential to become great assassins, in which you develop through missions around the world and/or through combat. They are easily summoned and accessible at ALL times, and the balance is right, sometimes they are not needed and sometimes they are called upon to deliver a subtle kill when your in a jam on the side of a rooftop dangling trying to avoid suspicion, to all out war when your completely surrounded so their very handy. Their not invincible as facing Papal guards especially if their not of Assassin rank can prove formidable (yes they do die!) so you get what you put in with your leading the Brotherhood.

Now the weapons are sadly not too different from AC II, however the newly upgraded ability for Ezio to chain combo kills is a added bonus and gives every previous weapon a revitalized outlook on how to use em! Its been complained about in the past that AC games are just counter counter counter, but you can go on the aggressive with stringing together Taunting, kicks and decisive blows to counter-attacking so theres nothing repetitive about it at all, and fighting is always fun to engage enemies in multiple ways

The storylines and side stories which I feel create a more deeper understanding of not only Ezios past but also the history behind the Assassin Brotherhood and their war with the Templars. The reason I dont give a 10/10 is because the Love Story missions for Catarina Sforza are much too short and wont spoil the rest :P

Now I'd be inclined to give this an overall 4/5 (I wish I could do a perfect but it has some short comings as already mentioned.)

I cannot mention the rest, as it may have curiosity spark too much interest into but youll see for yourself once you play through, it is sadly shorter then expected the closing events seem a bit too rushed I felt after enjoying the spoils of everything in the game had to offer but I suppose that is expected.

Overall its definetely a game worthy of anyones cabinet to hold as a keeper. The voice acting is top-notch again I like many others got hooked on some italian here and there repeating while engaged in the game very catchy!! Ezio is older , wiser and very much in the position of power as you take control at reshaping the whole of Rome under his Brotherhood dont miss out this opportunity and take that Leap of Faith to invest in this classic!

Not really sure what else I can say but if you are going to buy a game this year Brotherhood has to be it. This game justed totally rocked

Assassins creed brotherhood is everything you could dream of in the next installment of AC. Brotherhood is most definitly every penny you have saved for your first car or a new computer. Brotherhood is everything you can dream of. To have controll of your creed in a split second is genius. The graphics are awesome. So be prepared for many sleepless nights full of just one more mission, just one more mission.

This is my first time in the world of Assassins Creed, and I've found it thoroughly entertaining.

There are a lot of side-quests to keep you entertained which are not crucial to the plot but enjoyable nonetheless.

The combat system is easy enough… Once I stopped my button-mashing habits, and similar in execution (No pun intended) to Batman: Arkum Asylum, as you can link your attacks to take out a group of attackers.

It's all there decent voice acting, visuals, music score and graphics.

The game catered to my rather erractic gameplay style, in that I ran around the HUGE city of Rome from building to building evading and killing guards with no real goal, then pick up a quest and battled my way through the mess I'd created with my notoriety… It was fun that way and I learnt to battle hide and evade really quickly.

Quests can be completed easily, though perfectionists will see there is an added goal to each quest to achieve that perfect 100%

The Borga Towers can destroyed to help lessen the guard activity within a given zone, just note, some towers are plot critical and as such these areas will be denied you.

Still the game has a lot to offer and I haven't even tried the online componant yet.

I have read opinions Assassins Creed: Brotherhood offered only small nuances from the other two games, I'm guessing its hard to mess with a winning formula. I like the this game and definitely suggest it as a must have to any whom enjoy the action gaming genre.

This is the best game ever.! The story line is excellent!! The graphis are fantastic!!! The multiplayer is a thriller!!!! The weapons are awesome!!!!! The gadgets are even more awesome!!!!!! The campaign is more awesome than being more awesome than awesome!
