    Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood decided that the series needs more fetching quests. They introduced shop quests where you hunt for hard to find items in exchange for better equipment.

They introduced shop quests where you hunt for hard to find items in exchange for better equipment. Problem is that once you got the items you need for that kick ass bastard sword you were far up enough in the game to buy much better one from the shop.
    Few welcome breaths of fresh air was the fact that you actually were in command of an assassin's guild and you could call your minions to help you by snapping your fingers. You best not help them fighting though, because if that friend of yours happens to jump in front of your bullet, they die. The developers tried to make you have some kind of affection to the recruits by giving them names and different faces. You also had to watch through their recruitment ceremony (unskippable of course). After having watched 3 of these recruitment ceremonies you went to grab a drink while the same cut scene is being shown.
    Single player was okay, but wasn't as good as Assassin's creed 2's long campaign that spanned through many cities. What issues I have with it is mostly nitpicking, but what I really bought the game for was the multip layer, however the matchmaking in PC is just awful.

    Usually you spend more time finding people to play with than to play the game. You cannot grab a server and join in. You have to be inserted in a group and server by the computer. During the progress computer voice keeps telling over and over again you how it's searching for more players. Can I have my server browser now computer, now that you find how this console port automated match making doesn't work?
    Slowly by raising the search area from your street to your home town you might find 8 players to play with. Then wait for a server to open beings... Once you get a server two people have ragequitted from the lobby.

    If you are lucky you get to play the real game for few minutes and your quarry is jumping on a roof somewhere instead of blending into the groups and trying to act natural. It gets better once you get the hidden gun and throwing knives... When the groups are good the game is playable, but do not bother with the less popular game modes, there are never enough people to play with, unless you have half an hour to waste to actually play the game for 10 minutes.    … Expand

    Superb Multiplayer, buggy Singleplayer (especially when using WASD controls), a horrendously cheesy script and poor characters. Doesn't advance the series in much other than storyline, so if you're a fan of the previous games it's worth playing. If not, checking it out for the impressive Multiplayer doesn't warrant the pricetag.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game was far too short in comparison to AC2. Only 9 sequences in total. I know from reading elsewhere there is alot that goes on between the last two sequences that was left out. :( Gameplay was good, but in order to get 100 synch you had to complete objectives with specific circumstances, which ultimately took a bit away from the game. Music composition was good as always. Kudos to Jesper Kyd. Side missions were very very repetitive (Towers). A bit sad that this maybe the last we play as Ezio as the main character and to leave it on such a note is... dissapointing. Hopefully AC3 we can play as him more. Who the hell does he conceive a child with? I mean he's pretty old according to the timeline at the end of ACB!… Expand

In all honesty I felt a little let down by 'Brotherhood' as I built up this crazy idea that the multiplayer would be something incredible, which it wasn't. Instead it ended up being very repetitive after a couple matches and was rather easy as well, as maps are quite small, giving your enemy nowhere to hide. On the other hand, the single player doesn't fail to impress, once again another fantastic storyline from Ubisoft and following the small taste of the modern age at the end of the last Assassin's Creed, we get to play more as Desmond and use the skills he's learnt by watching his ancestor Ezio. The one downfall to 'Brotherhood' is that the free running over vast scenery had to live up to the last sequels beautiful Venice, but fails to do so. 'Brotherhood's' map soon becomes boring and you will find yourself putting the game down before you complete it, unlike the other two. With all this being said I am rating Assassin's Creed Brotherhood with a 7 because it is a decent enough game to buy and play, but just make sure you don't pay full price for it as you may be disappointed.… Expand

    Not a bad game at all! Feels more like a big arsed expansion, I do hope they do some more of niles' story. The cities are just awesome looking, love going from rooftop to rooftop. Nice and fun like the other AC's

The melee system was worth something now (sorry, but the final fight in AC2 wasn't worth much, hardly an epic final fight), and they threw a whole lot of new weapons into the game that made it quite a decent change from AC2. The Assassin recruits were a very nice addition, though at times it didn't feel much worth it. That being said, there are a few other things about this I didn't like.

    Obviously the amount of time it takes to beat the main storyline isn't all too great when compared to AC2. The side quests did feel a bit repetitive at times, but it could have been easily overlooked. The assassin recruits got a bit annoying at times, and a lot of the time you would hardly use them. Of course, I did like some things about the game aside from what's already been said.

    The customization options were nice, freerunning was slightly tweaked for the better, being able to carry around heavy weapons was fun for a while, the kill animations felt more satisfying, and killing a whole bunch of guards was no longer a chore. Hell, it felt like Ezio could slay an army at times in the game.

    The only major complaint I have about this game is the machines Ezio has access to at times. For example, the bomber sequence was quite honestly annoying, and I found myself playing it multiple times just to beat it. I question the wisdom of whoever put Leonardo's Machine Gun into the game, because it honestly felt too much like a FPS, and the cannons were essentially useless. I could have liked this things, but they are (for the most part) only used in one or two sequences! Great, I had to learn the controls to flying the bomber, but I'll never use it again? Ugh.

    All in all, I do like this game. It's worth the buy, but definitely get it for a console, unless you're willing to put up with a few bugs. For me, this kinda feels like the comparison of Fallout 3 to New Vegas when comparing it to AC2. New Vegas tweaked a few things missing or damaged from the first game, but it left some things behind, and forgot to fix some of the bugs in the meantime. The same goes for this game. It fixed the bad melee system of AC2, modified the combat system to make it less tedious, and let you use heavy weapons or long weapons for more than one fight or two. It's good enough to play, just try to ignore the one or two faults and you'll love this game.    … Expand

    While the game is certainly MUCH better than its HORRIBLE predecessor, it still doesn't come out on top.The combat is very choppy abd very annoying when little tweaks plague you.The assassinations require you to not be seen, and some have a time limit.EVERY assassination goes like this, besides the final one(No further details will be given).A good game, but not that great.

I also felt more of a sense of urgency in AC2 with the Templars always present etc, but Brotherhood didn't have this feeling at all. The story in AC2 was quite linear, but with this game, I think they've made it a little more like Grand Theft Auto by focusing on extra activities. I like this in GTA4...but for some reason in this game I would've preferred a more linear story line...it lost the immersive feeling that AC2 had.... not a bad game at all, but I was a little disappointed and it didn't live up to the previous one.… Expand

    With overall improvements over everything i have mentioned in my Assassin's Creed II review, there is something that i feel that it needs to be pointed out, Brotherhood seems to have more glitches & bugs.

    These "glitches & bugs" aren't really small ones, but are actually ones prevents your progression in a few missions/sequences. If you play over 60hz and have vsync off, you are going to run into them. Unfortunately for this, and the frustration caused for me, deserves an even lower score than AC or AC2.

    Other than that, i need not mention the pros and cons as they were similarly mentioned in my AC2 review.

    Note: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood also features the free Da Vinci Disappearance (DLC), obtainable via UPlay for 0 credits. It's a well worth and fun DLC with a few extra hours to put into the game. As it is going to take place after the main story, i recommend playing this DLC only after you've completed it.

    Now take nothing away from it, the gameplay is marvelous. Fighting has never gotten easier than in this game. The story is decent and in this one I did want to kill Cezare Borgia (mainly for the same reason why Star Wars fan boys want to kill Jar Jar Binks). However like all Assassin's Creed games the ending really sinks what could have been a great game.

Although it is not terrible, but the obvious just push it out the door, print it, print it now!, comes clearer with Brotherhood more than any of the other games. I might as well start with the problems that the game has. Well the main problem with the game is the auto lock-on camera which is down right frustrating, like during huge missions your running to flee from an area or whatever and it locks you on to someone who tried to attack you, even though they missed and it makes you go out of track. OMG and the next one. One of the enemies, and im not even joking, is at times invinsible. you know the light armor guys. they can litteraly jump backwards any time you attack them, even if they're by a wall the sword just goes through them or they dodge it and if you try to kick them that doesen't work eighter, this becomes especially true when during big timed missions where you have to kill a bunch of guys in a time-limit. OMG and this next one is actually "GAME BREAKING" During a mission where you tail a missionary to the coloseum, "spoilers". you have to kill 2 exact guys that look identical to the other. and then the real problem addears, because you have to kill 2 more random guys again and the real problem here is that they have a pretty high chance of fleeing like a little chicken and because "Spoilers" you now have the apple of eden which kills whatever it wants, but only one guy at a time, randomly, but see why is it a problem that they flee you ask? Well because there is a barrier you can't go through, its like a invisible fench that prevents you from going futher and the problem is that they can actually surpass that "Fence" by a few feet or like 4-5 meters meaning that if you let them surpass that barrier then your basicly **** and see it's actually really hard to not make them surpass the "barrier" you might as well restart the memory, which means that you have to tail the guy and everything all over again. Now the Next problem is more of a annoyance than annything else, but it's still a thing that draws you out of the immersion. the voice acting is often eccoed in really low volume or it's not there at all, and the voices are there sometimes but it's really only in big scenes. the controls are also nothing to brag about, they are definitely designed with a controller in mind and also the way Ezio moves feel kinda sluggish like he has bad agility which for an assassin is extremely weird .i think i got everything that is negative about the game, now on to the good stuff. first of all the game has an exellent soundtrack, at times it's a little too much but usually good, not much to say on that one. and secound the climbing and the overall feel of being an assasin is really good. the world design as there is no quote on quote level design is actually really good, in fact it's amazing. the story is also very interesting, which i guess only apply to people who is generally interested in history as myself. the game has got amazing multiplayer and aftergamecontent meaning that you can be stacked for a few weeks after playing through the story. overall i'd say that this is definitely the worst Assassin's Creed game in the series. a 7/10 should do it justice. i might even be a tad bit too kind to it though. it's worth purchasing though on a market if it's on like 50% off +.… Expand

    In any case, AC2 Brotherhood is quite literally AC2: the Cut part.

    The game starts less than 3 mins after the ending of AC2. The plot barely changes an inch, and everything is the same.

    Brotherhood could just be an uninventive extension to a game that was really good but sadly outstayed its welcome. However, it's actually a worse game than AC2 in my taste, simply because AC is not about the gameplay, or the plot: it's about the interactive postcard, about being part of History and enjoying the feeling of traversing a proper medieval city or great time of the past.

    And the thing is, AC2 relied on Venice and Florence. Brotherhood is about Rome.

    Rome is, as Tywin Lannister would put it, a blasted ruin. The city is plainly UGLY. Kudos for the effort of making a really credible half destroyed wreck of a city, but bluntly put, I didn't like anything about Rome. The whole game is in Rome.

    The gameplay? Same problems, the crossbow makes things even easier, the run/jump controls still are unpleasant. The fights are the same. Some infuriating moments when some guards in heavy armor somehow manage to catch up to me and beat me when I'm forced to run away.

    The Apple of Eden segments are all terrible.

    On a good note though, I really loved the mechanic of the Towers and the captain you have to kill. Infiltration, planning, failing, running, killing guards, it was all very fun. Slightly abhorrent when sometimes the captain you must target can run into an untouchable place in 8s, but overall very fun.

    Still, if you play Brotherhood, it's more AC2, with a far uglier city, a plot that is less personal and involving as in AC2, less developed, with more money and property minigames, more of the same ideas, more of the same gameplay, more of the same.    … Expand

    After several hours of gameplay the game looks like nothing compared to the other two titles. So far is the worst, yet I did not get to play Revelations, III and IV. (PC does not lead more to continue the series). The end left me a little surprised because it is very strange. However there is a very poor way but worth playing.

    Пару лет назад появилось желание пройти заново все части Assassin's Creed. Настало время для Brotherhood, в который я раннее не играла. AC2 является для меня одной из самых памятных и любимых частей серии, и было приятно обнаружить, что ACB является геймплейно улучшенной ее версией.

    Что понравилось из нового: + Набор в гильдию рекрутов. Очень удобно, когда на тебя устроили облаву, за    Пару лет назад появилось желание пройти заново все части Assassin's Creed. Настало время для Brotherhood, в который я раннее не играла. AC2 является для меня одной из самых памятных и любимых частей серии, и было приятно обнаружить, что ACB является геймплейно улучшенной ее версией.

    Что понравилось из нового:
    + Набор в гильдию рекрутов. Очень удобно, когда на тебя устроили облаву, за тобой бежит пол Рима, ты вызываешь братков и они быстро помогают тебе в битве. Также они не раз помогали в стелс-миссиях или в миссиях, где нужно было убивать на скорость. Такого нововведения действительно не хватало. Не скажу, что это делает игру легче, скорее становится меньше рутины. Где-то на форуме читала, что новобранцев тяжело прокачать до ассасинов, с чем не могу согласиться, все мои ребята быстро достигли 10 лвла, особенно те, кто ходили на сложные задания с прокаченными. К концу ты даже привязываешься к ним и помнишь каждого по имени.
    + Расширился ассортимент оружия. Арбалет - лучшая вещь на земле.
    + Быстрые переходы и езда на конях по городу.

    Минусы заключаются в сюжете и подаче.
    - Действия, не считая пролога с эпилогом, не выходят за пределы Рима и, по сути, всю игру мы бегаем только за Чезаре (а во время финальной битвы, где чтобы победить, нужно было раздевать его, пробило на смех, серьезно). Дезмонд, как всегда, унылая скотина, и не было вообще никакого желания выходить из анимуса и слушать по одной-две несмешные шутки от его товарищей. В игре не было ни одного интересного персонажа, ни врага, ни союзника.
    - Сейчас будет немного вкусовщины, но лично меня никак не вставило бегать на перегонки с бомжами и ломать поделки Леонардо. Пулемет был еще ничего, но вот после бомбардировщика я сказала этим миссиям "до свидания", нервы и время дороже. Спасибо хотя бы то, что это побочные квесты и можно их с чистой совестью пропустить.
    - Также я не вижу особого смысла в покупке всяких лавок, достопримечательностей, выполнении заданий торговцев, т.к. денег на оружие и костюмы хватает с миссий и рекрутов, а получать деньги за то, что ты их тратишь, кажется здесь бессмысленным.
    - Если так подумать, то пропуская все побочки, не собирая сокровища, забивая на костюм Ромула, забыв про архивы, то игра проходиться катастрофически быстро. Наверное, за парочку часов. Сложно понять, а когда конец игры, ведь каждая миссия проходит в одном городе. В AC2 локации менялись, из-за чего ты хотя бы понимал, что скоро покинешь то или иное место. А здесь лично я не ожидала, что миссия во дворце будет конечной и не успела пробежать все в городе, что хотела.

    Вердикт такой: играть приятно и удобно, игра проходится относительно быстро есть не выполнять все на 100%, сюжета нет. Лучше ли эта часть игры AC2? Наверное, нет. Это, я бы сказала, не отельная часть, а аддон.    … Expand

    + Possibility to use assissins as NPCs
    +/- Very varied, but after a while there are to many side missions (overload).
    - Pursuit missions get annoying after a while
    - Savepoints are badly done in some missions, so you have to start from too far back again
    - Some crashes because of Ubisoft Connect
    - A few graphics bugs

    Im Vergleich zu Assassin's Creed 2:
    + FPS Lock wurde aufgehoben
    + Controls beim PC-Port mit Xbox-Controller sind besser
    + Upgrade bei Kontrast, Schatten und Licht
    + Möglichkeit weitere Assissinen als NPC einzusetzen
    +/- Sehr abwechslungsreich, aber mit der Zeit kommt man gar nicht mehr allen Nebenmissionen nach (Overload)
    - Verfolgungsmissionen nerven mit der Zeit
    - Savepoints sind in einigen Missionen schlecht gemacht, sodass man von zu weit hinten wieder anfangen muss
    - Paar Abstürze wegen Ubisoft Connect
    - Ein paar wenige Grafikbugs    … Expand

    Buggy mess but still enjoyable. Some missions are so great but most are so boring. Tailing missions make me wanna die.

    Polished conversion of the console version cannot be labeled as an add-on. This is an excellent full-featured game with interesting multiplayer mode. Period. [Issue#203]

    Built on the shoulders of Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood is the most polished and robust execution of the Assassin's Creed formula yet.

    Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood isn't as much a sequel as a completion to the second game, and while this is certainly the best game of the three so far, you probably don't want to jump into the story without having played at least the second game first.
