I was told that this was one of the best Assassins Creed games out there and it truly is. I played the first Assassins Creed and thought it was good, then I played Assassins Creed Brotherhood and LOVED it, then I heard this was really the one to get and it truly is amazing.
PRO's:
- This game is b-e-a-utiful! The structures during the renaissance in Italy are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen, and you get to climb all over them! The amount of detail and accuracy put into this game is truly astonishing.
-The story was great, even though it lulled at times, it was intriguing enough to get me through 30-40 hours worth of gameplay.
- The gamplay itself was terrific, although the story can be completed in less then 20 hours there is soo much more to do in Italy, you can go on assassination missions, buy property to get better armor, weapons, money, or allies, the game really makes you feel like you can level up your character without actually leveling up, save for getting more health. Its also a ton of fun to evade enemies when that is what tends to happen after completing an assassination story mission.
- The controls are really well done, in the first one they were difficult, but this time around they are much easier to master so you can really get into the game. I only had one problem with throwing the 3 daggers, but other then that everything else seemed to work well. In the first one it was difficult to approach a building sometimes, but this one its near perfect.
Con's:
NOTE: Although there are some flaws the game is too great for them to really take away from it.
- Sometimes the controls will work against you, especially in race missions. Sometimes you want to just jump up to another building and instead he'll dive into a pit of hay or drop to the ledge, its rare but it can happen.
- Sometimes you don't know where to go next. Towards the end of the game, when you start running out of things to do you will find yourself searching for a final objective. Story missions tend to occur when you enter a specific city or speak to a specific person, when you don't know who that person or where that place is, in as large a game as this, it can be a little frustrating. I tend to do all the side missions I can to level up my character so by the time I go back to the story I forget what I need to do, so that may be on me. If anything just look up where you need to go in a walkthrough, its better then throwing your controller through your tv screen.
Conclusion:
If you want a fun, cool, historical assassination game this is the one to get. I actually recommend all of the assassins creed games considering they just get better and better.
