    finished the game for 17 hours. I like the story but i find ac 2 better. The controls are clunky most of the time i find it frustrating and annoying. I dont like the new features introduced from ac 2. And the puzzles are not as original and fluid. Overall i enjoy the game i seldom get bored to it.

    Im not a very big fan of AC games but this one was rly good. The gameplay, though easy is very engaging. The Same with stealth. Its also one of the only Ubisfot games where the world actually feels alive. However I. can't give it a 10 because it was a meh story with boring characters. Also it has a lot of filler in content. Otherwise it is a great game though.

    The sword combat has been improved again and finally I can say its pretty damn fun this time around with the introduction to execution streaks. One shotting enemies one after the other and parrying anyone who tries to break your combo is badass. Visually the game looks great, much improving upon its predecessors in most ways. However due to the size of the environment that the game prominently takes place in, a lot of obvious pop in can occur while travelling around on horseback.

    Speaking of pop in, the game is poorly optimised, constant frame rate drops plagued the experience throughout my entire playthrough, occasionally the game froze momentarily during these frame rate dips. The huge scope of the world means there is more empty space. Galloping about on a horse is slow and boring, and there is just not a lot of things to do in the environment that maintained my interest, there's a lot of content here, but it is all the same copy and pasted content I've come to expect from the AC series. Tailing missions, being the worst part about Assassin's Creed 2, return in full force in Brotherhood. Around 70% of the game's main story missions are either tailing missions or escort missions and again they are the absolute bottom of the barrel garbage "gameplay" sections, slowing down the pace of the game to a screeching halt. These are easily the biggest offender that impacted my enjoyment of the game.

    There were a few times I was playing Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and having a blast, mainly during dungeons and sword fights. But a majority of the game's content and playtime is spent doing the same side quests repeatedly and incredibly tedious tailing missions. Unfortunately, I was not having any fun at all during most of my playtime with this game.    … Expand

    Por ser uma continuação direta do Assassin's Creed II, o jogo não contextualiza quem não jogou o anterior, mas ainda consegue divertir.

É uma conclusão satisfatória do confronto Auditore-Bórgia e traz melhorias a elementos do jogo anterior, como combate, parkour e personagens. Nós vemos todo mundo do outro jogo nesse, e eu senti que todos os personagens tiveram bons momentos e não foram mal utilizados. Como no outro jogo nós conseguíamos acessar diversas cidades, a ausência das mesmas faz falta durante a gameplay, Roma me cansou rápido. A soundtrack, que também tem músicas que vêm do jogo anterior às vezes é mal implementada, músicas com no máximo 4 notas ficam em loop e pode acabar enchendo o saco. O que mais brilhou nesse jogo foram as side-missions, muito fodas. Elas respondem dúvidas do passado e do futuro de Ezio e muitas vezes são mais elaboradas do que as missões principais, pra mim foram perfeitas. Ainda no tópico das missões, uma coisa muito bunda são os objetivos opcionais das missões, que em outros jogos do Assassin's te fazem jogar de maneiras diferentes e se divertir mais, enquanto nesse jogo, o primeiro a implementar isso na franquia, esses objetivos podem acabar completamente com momentos divertidos no jogo. O jogo é bom, mas a atmosfera faz ele parecer curto. É necessário jogar o II pra ter uma experiência completa.… Expand

    Where Assassin’s Creed II was a huge upgrade over the first game, I feel that Brotherhood does the final touches and improvements on the gameplay that truly defined what these early Assassin Creed games were. The tweaks to combat really make our character feel like a Master Assassin rather than the learner he was in the previous title.

The tweaks to combat really make our character feel like a Master Assassin rather than the learner he was in the previous title. The story feels more focused than the previous two games and because you are already familiar with the character they immediately grip you into the narrative with one of the greatest openings to a video game that I have ever played. On most days Brotherhood is my favorite from the Assassin’s Creed Franchise.… Expand

    I think Brotherhood is an improvement to Assassin's Creed 2 in only gameplay. There wasn't any annoying missions, combat felt smoother and better from the start. The parkour was also improved. The story is what I wasn't really interested in I just couldn't really get into it, though I liked the endgame where things kind of got faster and actual interesting things happened.

    Sensational... Brotherhood manages to extend the legacy of the franchise and innovate with details that make the game more "tasty" to play. Ezio evolves as a character, and the events of the previous game continue to influence his personality, along with the storm he has to go through in this game, making him a more experienced assassin.

    Roma was incredible as the only city in this game, and it didn't bothered me to have only one city, at all. Ezio matured and was at his very prime. The story went full circle, in the past and present. Friendships and relations between the characters were great. Side missions were more interesting than ever. The brotherhood really meant something. Nah, for real, this game looked incredible.

    The main reason I don't give it a 10, is that it also looked... a bit too much like AC II on many points. Again, don't get me wrong : AC II was such a success that not continuing and focusing on giving a great sequel would have been a bad idea. But it honestly kind of felt that they had to copy and paste many things in order to have Brotherhood released less than a year after AC II.

    A lot of things were reused, maybe a bit too much, and I did not felt that I was living a "lifelong adventure" as much as AC II. Besides, it marked the start of the yearly release of AC games, which led us to embark on the downfall of the saga.

    But still, I feel like AC Brotherhood was where the saga peaked at maturity. It had everything Assassin's Creed should be all about, and it's a must-play for sure. That's why he's only short of 1 point from the perfect rating!    … Expand

    Recommended to fans of the franchise and also to newcomers. While the single player campaign is entertaining and offers a lot of content, the multiplayer mode is only average. It's a nice goodie, nothing more. The atmosphere, the localization and the videos are pretty well done, which let the player forget time and play hours.

    Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is a more than a worthy addition to the series canon. The similar setting of renaissance Italy will trick folks into assuming this is a half-arsed expansion, but honestly, this feels like Assassin's Creed 2.99. Don't be fooled by Brotherhood's cunningly familiar disguise. Mark it as a fresh target, pounce and take it down. [January 2011 p66]
