Assassin's Creed Revelations (Xbox 360)

"OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!" I got into the Assassin's Creed line a few years ago and have been very zealous in continuing indulging in the entire concept and world. Absolutely brilliant games and finding each is bringing something new, without the usual strain of a company grasping at straws for some new selling point. The worlds are rich, dynamic and engrossing. The characters suck you into the storyline. The storyline and concept themselves leaves a massive scope for continuation - the producers and writers have built the game from the very foundations, allowing for a variety of simultaneous storylines between the past, present and future - they give enough to keep you hooked and wanting more. Alongside the main story you're given a diverse range of other tasks including recruiting, training and mentoring the next assassin's, expansion of your arsenal and armour, exploration and side quests and stories - notably vast and unlinear world, the way it should be. Hugely eager to get into the next few games and excited to see what direction it takes.

I personally think this is one of the best of the series, it feels just like the rest did to play and if it isnt broken dont fix it. Wierdly enough i actually quite like the tower defense mode and its not to short of a game either overall it is a 5 star game and is worth the buy!

Before I start, I would like to point out my absolute love for the Assassins Creed series. I am a huge fan, thanks to Assassins Creed 2. Ezio, in fact, is my favourite game character of all time (besides Commander Shepard). So, all in all, Revelations was disappointing, but only to the extent I expected it to be - it is, after all, the second spin off game from AC2, and therefore a certain amount of disappointment is expected. I found the addition of the Den Defense mini-game to be a waste of time, and I just waited so I could fight for the Den instead of going through the somewhat tedious task of playing a 15th Century version of Bloons, just without any monkeys. The basic gameplay, besides this, is pretty much the same.The controls were simple and easy to get used to, and that was great.I could never hate the AC series - it just has a certain charm - and despite its downfalls, it was a good game, just like Brotherhood. Once you accept that it isn't trying to be the third AC, and that it will never live up to that, and just treat it as a sort of Brotherhood-point-five, you can have yourself a great time.

This story really ends the tale of Ezio Auditore Da Firenze perfectly, and the inclusion of his new tools is great, it is just a shame that they didn't keep them for future releases. This game is the perfect ending to the Renaissance trilogy, and the cliffhanger is so amazing that it will make you rush out and get the next game if you haven't got it already. The only let down to this is the Minecraft like Desmond sequences where you find yourself building blocks to get across a room, and it takes a bit away from the flow of the game, HOWEVER these sequences ARE OPTIONAL so the game doesn't push you into doing them to further the story thank God. The parts of this game with Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad are also great! I am so glad that his story got a good ending as well, because the end of Assassins Creed: Bloodlines really made me want more! I give this game a 9/10, however because of the scoring on Amazon I have given it a 5/5!

Out of all the Assassin's Creed stories the Ezio storyline from Assassin's Creed II is the one my hubby has enjoyed most. So as you can imagine he was ecstatic when I purchased Brotherhood and revelations for him. They are excellent continuations of the Assassin's Creed II story. The game play is excellent with new maps, weapons, moves, characters and missions. Perfect for any Assassin's Creed fan.

Gameplay hasn't changed all that much from the predecessors, but for something that works, there shouldnt be too many changes. The "train the assasins" mode has been given more depth, however I missed more integration of it in the story. ***SPOILER ALERT*** The ending, leaving things open, not sure if it makes me happy not to be entirely done with the assasins or annoyed by Ubisoft to keep milking the cow.

I purchased this for my partner after he enjoyed the earlier Assassins Creed games. You could happily play this without playing the earlier games but they do fit nicely together. There are also many little side challenges that you can take up or not along the way. The graphics are great and the story line is easy to follow. Also you are taught new skills and moves along the way in little training sessions so the challenge/interest stays high throughout the game. On a personal note I don't like playing games with excessive violence and as modern games go this is fairly good.

The campaign is explicit can not be faulted but when you try to access the multiplayer you are asked for a 'uplay passport'. these cost 800 Microsoft points , that's about 8 quid, so I recommend buying this from the store.

Si, muy bien..

Antiguo pero entretenido. Tiene muchos errores y a veces te rompen la partida. Por lo demás bien, lo recomiendo si eres fan de AC.

El juego es una gozada con las innovaciones que aporta y como final de la saga del Ezzio, pero repito NO ESTA EN CASTELLANO ni en subtitulos....
