| Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood |
But if you fear that a direct continuation Assassins Creed released as soon as you feel rushed or incomplete, is based on the mind: the Brotherhood is a large, high-quality follow-up worthy of time and money.
The Brotherhood does not quite have the same emotional impact as its predecessor, however, fantastic. Again, wear the clothes of the master Ezio murderess. After the battle of the family villa in Monteriggioni, Ezio arch-enemy Cesare Borgia, to steal an important artifact known as the Apple of Eden. With the help of Catherine, and other old friends, Ezio heads to Rome to get rid of the Apple and the city seems to Borgia. It's a little 'drama in which an associate is accused of treason, but most of the Brotherhood of the series plot is simple, and because Ezio growth shows few staff, there is a hint of obsolescence of its adventures. You do not play like Ezio, though: once again the role of Desmond, the modern bartender-turned-lab-rat, which is to relive the memories of Ezio inside the machine called the animus.
The action may be complex, but an excellent cast of characters, it is easy to be invested. One of them is Salai, Leonardo's assistant and a mischievous rascal who likes to flirt with Ezio long as it does play dice. You meet a set of missions called Da Vinci's disappearance, which was released as premium downloadable content for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game Salai mischievous smile and cascading curls make him a great addition, but most of the major players in the Brothers return. You spend time with new Caterina Sforza, Nicolas Machiavelli, and Ezio sister Claudia, although the presence of the most memorable game is a new character: Lucrezia Borgia, Cesare's sister - and love. Lucrezia sharp tongue adapted by its serious air almost vampire, and she is not afraid to test the limits of human decency in pursuit of power. Wonderful voice acting brings all these characters to life.
While the history of the brothers below the standards of the series, its sense of place and time is as impeccable as fans might expect. You spend most of their time in Rome, and while you may lose several cities to explore, the city is still huge and beautiful, full of visual variety and exquisite details such as society believes that as a result of their ancestors. You can walk into a cathedral for a magnificent view tapestries marked by red and gold chandeliers. People wandering the streets munching apples, to bluff at night and flirt with each other behind the pillars. Music enhances the mood with lyrical melodies and cooing soprano horn. The production values are unfortunately undermined by occasional errors. Fight could go to a strange silence, or the music would not kick in analyzing the city from atop a pole. Messages button may not appear when they are supposed, in some machines, the menu text can not be displayed.
In this great world is a ton of things to do. The staples of the series - set of platform on the roof, mingling with the crowd, the silent assassin, fencing, rhythmic - have returned and most have been improved or adapted in any way. It's just as happy as ever linked through the roof and climb to the top of the towers. Elevators, which quickly throw you into a roof garden is a great addition to providing news and other high voltage, although the mechanics of movement are generally the same as before - it's architecture and design levels has been changed to better. Like Assassins Creed, you can search for hidden glyphs on the walls and roofs, and they are visible when you turn the vision of an eagle. Find one you can solve a puzzle, which in turn unlocks a hint of a greater mystery. While most of these glyphs only took minimal effort to find before, many are now hidden majestic history with tons of nooks to explore.
Many of the towers to climb, you can not just go with a little 'care, they need a greater awareness in navigation. In fact, the numerous towers, calls not only for climbing, but it must be burned as well. Borgia have spread their influence around Rome, and weakens the rule, you destroy their buildings. Before you do so, you have to assassinate the commander of the area. Often the goal if they commit themselves to escape the guards around him, so you might want to approach with caution. In many cases, this will give you the opportunity to put a new gun, crossbow, to good use. Not only is it convenient for the collection of these figures, but it is also useful if the amount of charge enemies on horseback. In any case, when you made out the key to an officer, you can climb the tower and the torch next to it.
The elimination of the influence Borgia is important because you then get access to local suppliers, but this access is not imminent. The economy, an interesting feature but messy at the rate of last year, was implemented in smart ways. As before, you have to spend money to make money, but the catalog of the Brotherhood has a lot of big purchases. If you want to access blacksmiths, doctors, tailors and so on, you must first purchase and renovate their stores. Not only to renovate an empty shop window, gives you access to supplies, but also begins to generate income. As you put the money you eventually buys historic building, which cost a pretty penny. In addition, the PC version an investment function online. Holding the spacebar on the map screen, you can see where other players are investing their money. People invest in a company increases the amount of money you earn it, and you gain special items once you reach certain milestones investments.
There is little talk of the Brotherhood of Knights Templar in the countryside, although some of the Templars hiding places to investigate. In addition, a new group of enemies to face: the followers of Romulus. Most of your contact with these terrible, dressed in fur fanatics have their lairs, to take the place of the tombs of Assassin's Creed. Dens are improvements in the tombs, however, because the deadlines are not as central to conclude. It 'also a lot of design variations on them. Together, the fire broke out beneath you, and you must jump to avoid falling into a pillar of the pillars of fire. In the second, jumping all the time for the heights, and creative use of the crossbow to cause a huge chandelier and hit the column. One of the fascinating abandoned lair is a large residence, which is a nice change of pace from the darker vision, the more structured architecture of the tomb.
Many of the standard functions should be familiar to fans of the series: he was the target of your crawl from one year to the next group of people (it's great that you talk to each other, engage in a conversation are you doing now, rather than staying silent), to fight a series of invaders, or go to certain places, so you can eavesdrop on important conversations. But even in these tasks, there is a lot different. In one case, you must infiltrate the Passion and identify the right target before she could poison the contact information. In seconds, you can flirt in the middle of a series of drunks. Missions surrounding da Vinci's inventions, however, perhaps the most memorable. They look like a flying machine to escape the task of transporting and Assassins Creed only, but this time, you get even more toys to play with an impressive and exciting periods of the manuscript. Some activities do not reach the same level.
Assassins Creed: The Brotherhood The most remarkable news is not introduced until several hours to be in. In a call to the original Creed citizens, Murderer at risk can be attacked by soldiers loyal Borgia. Save a fact that he or his followers to their cause. From there, you control the destiny of this subordinate, sending several missions in the region, and even call for help in the battle. These tasks are performed through the menus when you visit a dove. You can choose a contract or award of an enlisted recruiting, and we hope to succeed. By completing missions, the Rookie level, and you can improve your armor or weapons. Over time, are filled with murderers and even celebrate its new status in a ceremony.
This aspect of the Brotherhood is another way to give something to do with the game already filled with content. At least, it's fun to appeal to our brothers and sisters, and watch them do the dirty work for you. Eventually, however, it does seem pointless and pretentious. This is due in part to combat the lack of challenge. Fencing is tuned to a better direction, but the move, which allows you to assemble a bar to kill to keep it so difficult that it should be changed to other killers to gain a strategic advantage. More importantly, it's never a payoff to spend time improving the subject. The existence of a growing number of murder implies a general purpose computer - Grand Final Battle, or some sort of fee for assembling the fraternity as effective as possible. But there are a reward, which makes the whole process seems busywork.
Tomb Raider multiplayer component also carries a unusual, that does not produce continuous excitement, but there is an option satisfactory to many shooters on the market. There are different types of searches, including the murder and released on a table space disappeared Escort Da Vinci of the pack. Most of the Brotherhood of modes are variations on this theme: you have to chase the target set (individually or in groups), while trying to avoid the player to kill you. This is not as easy as it sounds. For a general indication of your target location, and you know what the target looks like. But again, many non-player characters look exactly the same, if you're smart, you move slowly and stay close to your look-alike to throw Hunter off the track with their eyes open and signs that reveal another player.
Young people experience high Ezio Streetwise cunning murderer was one of the greatest pleasures is Creed murderer. The Brotherhood gets to flash his winning smile many opportunities, but his character arc is not as exciting as it could have been. However, this adventure has a great time looking for the magic that attracts with its sheer beauty. Additionally, some games are a pleasure to spend just one place to another, if you're galloping on horseback, fly in the sky from rooftop to rooftop, or dive into a haystack hundreds of feet above. As Ezio himself, Assassins Creed: The Brotherhood does not have the growth we might have expected, but its charms are impossible to resist.
It has a more important role in the Brotherhood, as the previous two games together, and the endgame of his actions will lead to a final surprise, which competes with pure shock value of Assassin Creed is.
When Claudia takes her bullying brother, feels the power of his voice and see how he grew up. Lust is open might make you squirm Salai, but the charming voiceover to give sparkle too cunning you can never lose patience.
How people can suddenly display pop can be distracting - how can an occasional frame rate hitches during the cutscenes. Also framed a series of tasks, such as flashbacks, with Ezio is due to appear in different clothes. However, if you have special armor sets included in this release, can not appear in the right clothes for these tasks. These are small, but obvious flaws is a game that otherwise looks and sounds excellent.
Expect to make a greater effort if they hope to reveal more of the conspiracy, who leads the series. Fortunately, not in vain: ledges and outcrops with care and intelligence place, which makes it a pleasure to climb these structures, whether you choose the keyboard and mouse, or prefer to connect the controller.
Then you'll automatically leap of faith in a haystack or a car leaves ideally placed, while melodramatic organ agreements signal the importance of your efforts.
You'll also find these cases (beads, diamonds, bottles, leeches), when the corpses and looting treasure chests, and deal with pickpockets away. These items can be offered to designated providers in exchange for high-quality weapons, tougher armor, and so on.
CREDO murderer loose mechanical movement are wonderfully adapted to their way of free climbing rocks and so-called social stealth, but is less ideal for tasks that require precision. This can lead to frustration in the missions will fail automatically if they are discovered, or ask you to hunt and attack their target. Fortunately, these are rare exceptions, the overall structure of the Brothers' mission is based.
Assuming you have not sent the entire cache of recruits on the missions, you can use a couple of battle, which they either raining arrows from an invisible point of view, jumping boots hay, or goods on horseback and engage their target.
Sure, it's a fun busywork, and it means that Ezio is a director fully in ascending order. However, the feature does not make sense, it is as if you've spent hours leveling up RPG, except that it ended without a deadlock conditions.
To complicate matters further, can level up and earn special powers, such as temporarily disguise, or use the eagle vision to spot his victim.
