    Достойное продолжение истории Эцио. В этой игре всего стало больше контента: мир, задания, дополнительные квесты... Даже вышек стало больше.

    Continua com um enredo brilhante, porém, inferior ao antecessor, as mecânicas foram melhoradas, deixando o sistema de batalha ainda mais fácil. (seria isso bom ou ruim?)

    Ну це все той АС 2, який бонусом розвивав тему ордену, як сюжетно так і геймплейно, добавив багато нових фіч.

    Although i love this game story becomes non-sense as you progress.
    Still good if you look as a part of the whole series (1-4)

    The new added brotherhood system is very good addition and the multiplayer was so good and addictive. Still a little worse then the second game.

    AC Brotherhood is probably the best out of all the AC games, I can say that because I have played almost all of them, and so far, it's looking pretty good. If you want an AC game, where you actually can be an Assassin, where the Gameplay is satisfying, even from today's standpoint, where the story is more than just an incentive to go from point A to point B, this is a game you will veryAC Brotherhood is probably the best out of all the AC games, I can say that because I have played almost all of them, and so far, it's looking pretty good.

    Although the graphics didn't age that well and the replay value is basically 0, this is still one of the better AC games in my opinion.

    После великой второй части эти две, даже вместе взятые, не дают и половины сюжетного контента своей предшественницы. Не заснуть помогает лишь разнообразие второстепенных квестов, но ненадолго.

    -Though, it ends up being way too similar to AC2
    -Story execution is weak IMO
    -Some (though not many at all) levels seem to be designed to just be unfairly difficult, just because of "Artistic" e.g. bad camera angles which drove me crazy at times.
    -Multiplayer is dead, but.. Oh well, it's been 8 years.

    Brotherhood is a terrific game. No arguing there.
    Only reason, for me at least, that it gets 9 and not 10 is the somewhat lack of originality.
    What I mean by that is the Brotherhood looks pretty much like AC2 Revamped - in both good and bad ways - It takes everything that AC2 did well, keeps it, and makes better the tiny rough edges that were there. Graphics feel slightly upgraded, combat is more fluid (though simple), and there are plenty of stuff to do and engage yourself in besides the main story.
    Still, it really all feels like been there-done that, in almost every aspect. The story is essentially the same as in AC2, in my opinion, and for me it was the weakest point of the game. While the "Big" story is to my likings (the whole Abstergo stuff and intertwining the the past etc), the execution is extremely mundane, as you can easily lose grip on what's actually happening between one killing and the other, and the whole bit that actually matters only comes in the very end of the game...
    Speaking of story, while it is cool that Desmond can parkour too now, the out-of-the-animus moments became redundant and more like a chore, as you go running around doing the same thing over and over for quite some time each time there was such sequence and or optionally getting out of the animus deliberately to "read emails" which turned out to be mostly boring and not too exciting or informative. (I still believe that the FIRST AC did very well the out-of-the-animus phases and that the entire series probably ditched completely the concept of making those phases actually relevant, storywise, besides the very ending or beginning of each game).
    The ending, by the way, was very much to my liking as well although it was somehow banned by many from the little I've seen, but I really think it what keeps me still motivated to go on to Revelations and find out what's next.

    That's a lot of digging around the probably most least cared for point in the game, but really, I think that matters and this only shows that story is slowly ditched in order to make a mainstream game.
    Brotherhood, like its predecessor, becomes quite repetitive towards the end and just makes you want to get it over with.
    What was done way better than AC2, is that there's much more diversity this time. There are many different kinds of missions or memories, and they're usually quite versatile - for example, the "tomb-raider" like levels from AC2 which felt pretty much all the same now feel a bit more unique and stand for themselves, each level has a somewhat different way of playing, etc.. So better job with diversifying gameplay.

    In short - this could've been a great AC 2 remagination.

    I'm making this review now since I only got the chance to start playing it now (almost a decade later), but in any case, I feel that Brotherhood is overall a positive, enjoyable step above its prequel. There is a lot of running around, repetition, and predictability, but the story and large map is good enough to keep you engaged and interested, and doesn't feel particularly boring to playI'm making this review now since I only got the chance to start playing it now (almost a decade later), but in any case, I feel that Brotherhood is overall a positive, enjoyable step above its prequel. There is a lot of running around, repetition, and predictability, but the story and large map is good enough to keep you engaged and interested, and doesn't feel particularly boring to play through. Fast travel and horse travel significantly helps reduce the amount of time you have to spend moving around.

    The game as a whole feels somewhat easy and you can ignore a lot of the optional mechanics in the game like buying upgrades, investing, assassin contracts, and so on since they don't particularly affect the main story. Unfortunately, the requirements to fully synchronize certain missions is incredibly unbalanced, meaning that certain missions will be too long or too tedious to fully synchronize and are just not worth the trouble to bother with.

    Overall, I'm giving the game an 8/10 mainly because of the story and how the game isn't a chore to play. In some instances I do quit to stop for the night because I get bored of errand running, but you're not supposed to speed run this game anyway. The game might realistically sport a 7/10, but keeping in mind that it was released in 2011, since games were more primitive back then, I loosened up my expectations a bit.

    I think my only real disappointment with the game is probably with The Truth. It was amazing in AC2 because you could actually watch an interesting cutscene, but that wasn't in this game. There was no point whatsoever with the ending. It was a genuine waste of my time and was completely underwhelming.

And I can tell you even though many others felt this game should have been an expansion rather than a whole game, I can tell you that it does not matter, and i will fight tooth and nail anyone who says the story execution or game play was bad.
    Ezio's character. his charm, his smack talk immediately drew me into the game. The amazing Roma Atmosphere and architecture was so breathtaking when i climbed my very first viewpoint sync that I cannot help but be a little biased in my review.
    I became crazy repairing the architecture around the entire map, it made me set aside hours dedicated to just stealing money from the local populace and guards so that i could rebuild the city for them, It had an amazing Robin Hood feel.
    As for the technical. The free run/climbing mechanic which is now a staple may have put others who played previous games off, but for me it was such a novelty I immediately fell in love with everything this game had to offer.
    The story was satisfyingly well executed, Though abruptly starting a continued story line from ACBrotherhood was a bit jarring for me personally when the climax rolled around, but never the less made me more than interested to know what the Lore was behind The Apple, Ezio/Desomnd, Templar's/Assassin's, It was compellingly written.
    It was one of the most pleasant and enjoyable game experiences of my lifetime.
    Recommendation from me.

    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.

    The addition of the 100% mission sync requirements was a bit frustrating at some missions, not sure if it was a necessary addition.

    Small criticism is that there was so much side-content to complete that it started becoming uneasy at times. In many flag-collectibles for example you had to figure out the path to them and you had to search for it in a long distance because you had to climb a wall from far far away to get to it.

    The main story missions were once again magnificent and the music dressing too.

    It is another 10. Maybe it would have been a 9,6 or something similar but it rounds up to a 10.

    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.
