Unfortunately, many aspects of the game were too similar to the previous one, Brotherhood. Ubisoft not only copied the strengths of Brotherhood, but also added unnecessary activities such as renovating banks, blacksmiths, and tailors, as well as buying landmarks. While it was a nice idea, there was too much of it. Buying new weapons was also unnecessary as it made no difference in combat. Fighting was easy, regardless of which weapon was used. The bombs were a new addition, and the variety of bombs was impressive. However, the rest of the gameplay was old and repetitive, such as finding and killing targets. The real strength of the game was its storytelling, cutscenes, and soundtrack. The atmosphere was also great, and some missions were epic and well-made. Overall, I may give this game another chance in the future.… Expand

    Ezio and Altair, the most famous assassins in videogames, end their mythical stories with Revelations, stories that are better than any videogame because they are realistic, possible and make us smile and shiver with joy while we play them. If there is one criticism of the title, it is that it HAS AN ENDING for such iconic and well-made characters.

The emotional depth and development of these iconic characters leave a lasting impact, solidifying their status as some of the most influential figures in video game history. However, the side characters in the game lack the same level of depth and fail to leave a lasting impression, dampening the overall storytelling experience. Additionally, the conflict between Assassins and Templars feels somewhat lacking in depth, and the gameplay and side quests can feel repetitive, reminiscent of previous entries in the Ezio trilogy. Nevertheless, the enormous impact of the ending and the closure provided for Ezio and Altair make Assassin's Creed Revelations a worthwhile experience for fans invested in their journeys.… Expand

    Why do I keep playing these games? The Assassin's Creed franchise is garbage and Ubisoft is the garbage dump. I decree that I will never play another Assassin's Creed, or Ubisoft, game again. Die Ubisoft, die Assassin's Creed... please!

    I really like the difference in setting from the other two ezio games.
    It has my favourite story out of the trilogy and gameplay wise its the exact same as brotherhood.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Revelations is a terrific conclusion to not only one of the greatest video game protagonists, Ezio Auditore da Firenze but also a conclusion for the character from the original title, Altaïr Ibn-LaʼAhad. The final game in the trilogy begins with a wonderful CGI cutscene that transitions into a great first mission set to a beautiful score that really signifies that this is the beginning of the end of the story for both of these characters. Although there are some questionable gameplay additions like the very quickly tiring tower defense strategy mission by the end of the story you are left satisfied with how both Ezio and Altair were handled as well as where the future of the franchise is headed.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O jogo se monstra muito interessante no iniciou, mas logo se torna repetitivo e maçante com missões que mais parecem objetivos secundários, comecei com esperança que fosse um jogo incrível mas terminei dececionado, mapa pequeno com pouco coisa a se fazer, história fraca que até começa interessante no iniciou mas logo passa a ser chata, tanto em enredo quanto em jogabilidade, os personagens são desinteressantes, apenas o rapaz com badana na cabeça consegue ser um personagem mediano, mas passa longe de ser um Leonardo da Vinci.
    O jogo trás consigo novas mecânicas, as bombas, objetos quase inúteis, que se não fosse pelos objetivos secundários e trofeus nem usava, ainda bem que não implementaram nos jogos posteriores, a lamina em gancho, que ao contrario das bombas são muito uteis e usadas em todo o momento para o deslocamento mais rápido, pena que não voltam a utilizar novamente, o combate é o mesmo de sempre, fácil e rápido, apenas mais chato por ter finalizações que demoram tempo demais, também temos um novo inimigo com objetivo de dificultar a jogabilidade, o problema é que, um inimigo difícil é um inimigo forte, rápido e inteligente, que requer atenção e não só clicar quadrado, mas este tipo de inimigo só é chato porque ele defende tudo o tipo de ataques, mas é só você contra-atacare-lo e ele se trona um inimigo genérico que demora mais para morrer.
    Á musica tema do jogo é na minha opinião a melhor até hoje, consegue passar tristeza e depressão, coisa que a historia não faz.

    After my first playthrough AC Revelations didn't surprise me too much. I loved the Altaïr storyline and I liked the background information about Desmond and Clay but the konstatinopel storyline wasn't that great. After a second playthrough I saw more value in it.

    Like it's own protagonist, Revelations feels older, slower and a bit tired. That doesn't stop it from being a decent send-off for one of gaming's greatest characters and combined with cool new setting and a few new mechanics, Revelations just about manages to stick tha landing.

    I think Assassin's Creed: Revelations is unnecessary game. Ubisoft wants use Ezio's charisma to sell a game. There is no other explanation. The most important thing on the game is Altair's and Desmond's story. And if u buy "The Lost Archive", you can learn Subject 16's story.

    We have 2 main mission tree. First one is, in game called "Main Missions", fight with templars. Second one is, in game called "Sofia Memory", find Altair's key. Main Missions are few boring. Sofia Memory is better than Main Missions in my opinion. You are finding keys, and play Altair's story. The way to find keys are same. When you find 2 keys, thats being boring.

    Scenario is not quite good. The bad man is not interesting, The only interesting part of the scenario is the Janissary events in the first sections. Sofia's part is also good because love is good lol.

    Characters? I can remember few characters. Ezio, Suleyman, Ahmet, Tarik Barleti and Yusuf. No more.

    Openworld is not good. I have never seen a palm tree in Kostantiniye. Cappadocia is in the middle of Anatolia and has no sea coast and we are going with ship. TF? At that time, there should be two minarets in Hagia Sophia, but there are four minarets. As a Turk, they caught my eye.

    Sidemissions? We have Den Defense, and they are boring. We are rebuilding Kostantiniye, but i didnt because we dont need to develop Ezio. Really. Also we are collecting Animus Data Fragments to play Desmond's Story.

    Modern day is completely wtf. We are doing nothing. When we are playing as Ezio we are collecting Animus Data Fragments. We can play 5 part of feels like stolen from Portal games, disgusting puzzle things i guess. And Desmond talking about his life before first game. Disgusting.

    Combat system is completely gone. When we kill an enemy, we can kill enemies with one hit.

    Parkour is more interesting because we have hook! Yep, it's one of the few innovations that the game adds and works properly.    … Expand

    "Revelations" is a nice finale to the Ezio/Altair era of "Assassin's Creed". It's entertaining, but there's very little new that has been added to the formula. Most players will agree that this fourth entry is weaker than its two predecessors. I liked it, but it's not a very innovative entry. I would give this an 8.2 out of 10.

    Far and away the worst game in the series. Everything that made Brotherhood bad and then some.

    The game is about as broken as Unity in some of the same areas.

    The game is about as broken as Unity in some of the same areas. Most of the time the climbing controls screw up and have Ezio trip or actively throw himself off a tower to his death, because he figures he might as well kill himself before he gets too old or something. That's if they even work at all, because Ubisoft just threw a bunch of squares into a sandbox without thinking about how the climbing engine would handle a ledge that's slightly too short for Ezio to properly climb up so he'll just wall-climb on the air and not grab the ledge, or have Ezio cross a 1 foot gap by dropping to a lower ledge instead of just hopping over it like a normal person would.

    They also decided to screw the combat because enemies will all attack at once and Ezio's counters and chain kills take about 5 minutes to execute so all the enemies can just shoot you while you're waiting for the enemy to slowly slide off your sword in the time it takes to cook a bowl of perfectly fluffy rice, and the game will straight up refuse to attack the person you're actually trying to aim at because why not. You can't air assassinate anymore, either, because the game will forget how the animation works and just leave you to die once you hit the ground right next to the guy you were trying to kill.

    It's the same thing that breaks New Vegas in that they added more BS onto an engine that's already overworked so it completely destroys the entire game. Only with New Vegas you can just play on PC and have a really good fun time and with Revelations it's **** on all platforms. I'm convinced that Ubisoft just didn't care with Revelations. It's DLC for Brotherhood that they sold for 60 bucks when Brotherhood was DLC for 2 that they also sold for 60 bucks. Doesn't add anything good and what they do add breaks an already tired formula. This game is why they reworked the engine for 3, because the game is the most painful experience to drudge through save for maybe clipping your nails with a paper guillotine.

    A sequel to the previous Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and the final in the Ezio Auditore trilogy. This takes place years later after AC:Brotherhood which makes Ezio Auditore by now an old wise man with his skill still intact though a bit rusty.
    A few glitches and bugs here and there but not game-breaking.
    Story is fairly decent.

    As the final game in Ezio's Story, 2011's Assassin's Creed Revelations rounded off the acclaimed trilogy that helped set the standards for video games of the 7th console generation. However, it had a lot to live up to in order to be on par with it's predecessor.

However, it had a lot to live up to in order to be on par with it's predecessor.

    The story feels more laid back than previous games. Ezio is on the hunt for the secret keys to Altair's (the protagonist of the first game's) secret library. So he sets of to Constantinople (Now known as Istanbul) to locate them. He comes into contact with the Assassins there and helps out with their fight against the Byzantine Templars, but this really serves as just a way to pad out game time. It lacks much purpose or emotional drive, and just serves more as a way to end the Ezio Trilogy. Not much happens here and it feels as if not a great deal of effort was put into the story (apart from the present day sections, which are probably some of the best in the franchise). What ends up saving this are the characters. None of the characters (apart from Ezio) return from both 2 and Brotherhood, however the characters in Revelations are probably just as good. People like Sophia, who helps you find the keys and eventually becomes your love interest, and Yusuf, the leader of the Turkish Assassins is just a great and quite funny guy to be around. The characters here are just as great as the previous ones were and fill their roles in the game nicely.

    If you've played any of the previous Ezio games, then you know what to expect here with gameplay. Gameplay is near identical to Brotherhood with a few minor changes. The two major ones are bomb crafting and the hookblade. The hookblade is useful for scaling buildings faster and evading enemies, and there are plenty of bomb crafting recipes which create some creative and fun ways to confront a situation. They are genuinely entertaining to do and a welcome addition to the game (it's just a shame this is the only game that either appear in). There are three problems I have with the gameplay. It feels are bit more 'broken' than Brotherhood's, which feels like a big step back. The notoriety system has been significantly butchered, you now gain almost 25% notoriety for almost ANYTHING you do, and you lose a very, very small amount of notoriety when you bribe someone or kill an official (there are no posters to tear down) which can make progression tedious and annoying. The final thing is the tower defence mini-game...just....as long as your notoriety isn't full, you won't even need to bother with this. It's bad and doesn't really matter. The same thing can really be said for missions. They're pretty much the same styles and objectives as Brotherhood, but slightly less enjoyable and a bit more tedious with gameplay complications and the objectives you're given.

    The last thing to talk about is the visuals. for 2011 they're fine. That's it. Just fine. It's nice to look at and immersive enough to keep the world alive enough. But not as much as Brotherhood, or 2 for that matter. Like everything else it feels stripped back and lacking. It doesn't visually grab you as well as the other games do which is a shame because the other games (even the original) does this so well.

    All in all, Assassin's Creed Revelations is the textbook-definition of 'playing it safe'. It's a serviceable inclusion to the franchise but definitely lacks the punch that Brotherhood had. It's upsetting because one of the most iconic trilogies of the 7th console generation ended with more of a wimper than a bang. It's fine and good game, but feels like it should've been better than it originally was.

Gráficamente es un lío ya que tiene downgrades y upgrades importantes que arruinan la experiencia de Constantinopla.
    A diferencia de "Assassin's Creed II" y "Brotherhood" esta secuela se desarrolla varios años después de los hechos de la última entrega, un Ezio adulto se embarca a las tierras de Constantinopla con el fin de hallar Masyaf, el templo donde Altair inició el Credo de Asesinos.
    El juego sigue con la filosofía "Si no esta roto no lo arregles" por lo que el juego es lo mismo en un 80%, se añadieron nuevas mecánicas como bombas, siendo posible armar diferentes bombas con distintos materiales permitiéndote tener señuelos y armas de distinto tipo, además suma una mecánica de tower defense para proteger los territorios apropiados y la posibilidad de usar a Altair en pequeñas misiones secundarias.
    Otro de los elementos que se cambió fue los mensajes ocultos del Animus, en versiones anteriores tenían una mecánica de puzzle con elementos reales para narrarnos una historia conspirativa sobre el gremio templario, se lo sustituyó por una sección de plataformas en primera persona para conocer más sobre Desmond, para mi fue una gran decepción perder esa parte de la historia.
    En conclusión "Assassin's Creed: Revelations" es más de lo mismo con un par de cosas nuevas, pero se nota que ya están utilizando sus últimos recursos para la narrativa de la serie.    … Expand

    After AC II and Brotherhood Ubisoft definitely underachieved with this game. The story isn't really interesting anymore. Ezio is charming as ever, but the story isn't. And once again the game is quite short. Also the game's present day is getting weirder and weirder.

I can't even count how many times I had to restart my system from this game freezing, and I have a very healthy PS3 system. Recruiting assassin's just didn't give me that feeling of unity that Brotherhood did, and I don't remember one time that I actually used the new bombs that I received apart from times where I had to for the advancement of the story. Although the hook blade was fun to use while hooking onto lines and zipping through the city, it made climbing tall buildings way too easy, as I could just jump the whole way up instead of following the path that I was supposed to.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Being the forth instalment of the series, Assassins creed:Revelations brings some beautiful elements to the table, but leaves a bitter taste at the end.

    First of the graphics have been improved over Brotherhood. Also the story seams more engaging than Brotherhood. Some neat elements have been reintroduced like capturing territory, training assassins and sending them on missions across the Mediterranean sea. Two combat related element has been introduced: the hook blade and granade construction. One mechanic does seem to cause some matter of discontent across players......the den defence system..

    The story takes Ezio on his last journey. Storytelling is great for the most part, but some missions tend to feel forced and some dialogues aren't as good as in some of ACR predecessors. The ending seamed rushed, but well explained.

    The combat more or less stayed the same....Easy.    … Expand

It's a fun experience, but rather than taking any risks with the series or adding anything new the developers decided to give us more of the same. Combine that with the admittedly weak story and you have a game that feels like filler meant to hold you over, rather than the next big game in the series.

    While the writing is overall solid Ezio's part really didn't need to be told. It's a rather uninteresting chapter, and the only thing it actually serve to do for the universe is let people know who he settled down with. Honestly it could have just focused on Altair as his story elements are actually interesting, although sadly brief. They also serve to move the fiction ahead, as well as show some real character moments. Something Ezio's does not.

    The modern day part of the series suffers from the same thing as far as writing goes. It opens gamers up to a little more of who Desmond is as a person, but that's about it. It's a filler story just like Ezio's. However they make up for that by including some interesting gameplay for the modern day sections. Some interesting first-person levels that rely on light puzzles and navigation obstacles. It's the first time this series has done anything interesting gameplay-wise with the modern day tale. However the need to track down collectables in the assassin chapters in order to access these levels may turn some off. I personally found them worth it.

    As far as the core gameplay as an assassins goes it's almost entirely the same experience as Brotherhood. The only real new additions are a "hook blade" that enhances platforming ability and a pseudo-tower defense mini-game. Nothing else really new here. Same goes for the multiplayer.

    This lack of change means that it's still guaranteed to be a fun experience for those who enjoyed the last entry, but it also means that there's nothing all that exciting going on here. I didn't do any of the side-content because I had already done it all before. This lack of change means that this feels more like an expansion pack to Brotherhood, rather than another full-fledged entry in the series.

    In conclusion this is very much a filler chapter in the series. There is no innovation here and the majority of the plot elements feel throwaway. However that does not mean it's a bad game. Quite the opposite really. The core gameplay that makes the series so enjoyable for so many is still in place, so it's always a fun experience. One that any AC fan should play. Just don't expect anything you haven't seen before.

    My total score for the game is a 7.5/10.    … Expand

    Unfortunately for all intents and purposes, Revelations feels very much like Brotherhood. The story feels a little vague at times, but mainly stays consistent.

    Very little has been added. The hookblade allows you to slide along ziplines and the Den Defense mini-game is frustratingly difficult.

    The musical score deserves praise for maintaining the tone of the game and the characters both remain historically and contextually relevant.

    Altair's role in the game is another point of interest, although his missions are slightly over-simplified.

It was definitely rushed to meet some sort of deadline, either that or they deliberately made it short and empty to build up hype for AC III. Because the game *is* short, while all previous installments where at least 20 hours long I barely spent hours on it. The first big problem with Revelations is the severe lack of actual assasinations - I don't think you actually get to assassinate more than four people. While this was also the case in the ACII and Brotherhood, at least there you had the "Assassination contract" sub-quests which were interesting and gave you something to do outside the main storyline. They are no assassination sub-quests in Revelation. The level design isn't perfect either - in at least two occasions I found it easier to die in the middle of a mission because the game respawned me at a convenient location and/or guards were missing. The "Den defence" tasks are okay I suppose but they kind of feel like a chore.

    Another big problem: the game looks positively weird on the PS3. You'll notice it immediately -it looks like some weird kind of fog at first but it turns out, buildings and roads actually reflect the sky. Literally. There's no other way to describe it. It's like the city is a lake, and you can see the clouds and the color of the sky in it. It looks like a giant mirror and the result is super weird. There are audio bugs as well - sometimes the sound stops for a second. The game even crashed on me twice and I lost good progress - this is unacceptable for a console AAA title.
    Overall this game is a disappointment and the worst of the series so far. That's not to say it's a bad one. If you've played the previous AC titles you kind of have to play it, and you can find it pretty cheap these days.    … Expand

    Revelations follows master assassin Ezio Auditore as he walks in the footsteps of his legendary mentor, Altair, on a journey to recover five ancient seals that hold the keys to the future of the Assassins brotherhood. It's a perilous path - one that will take Ezio to Constantinople, the heart of the Ottoman Empire, where a growing army of Templars threatens to destabilize the region.

    A rather needless entry in the series, served mainly as filler in order to get their game-every-year quota out. The new mechanic of tower defence is an unnecessary side quest, and the "out of the animus" sections as Desmond serve very little purpose bar scraps of information on his past.

Skylanders is a major cash in and COD has been lacking innovation since MW2, but every Assassin's Creed has been amazing and addictive. Revelations is no exception.

    It kicks off with a beautiful cinematic, that sees an aged Ezio travelling to Masyaf to uncover the secrets of his ancestor Altair. Captured and about to be killed, he makes a brave escape and so begins the most memorable first level in series history, which gives us an assassination in the first hour. Once again, story is high priority. The present day sections are very disappointing (first person puzzle levels should be left to Portal), but Ezio is as entertaining as ever. This time he's in Constantiople (the smallest open world in series history, but also the most believable and lifelike) and he's got a few tasks to complete: he becomes embroiled in a war between two factions, is still after the Templars, is managing his duties as Master Assassin, is chasing down mysterious memory discs and is wooing a new woman. Busy fella! The story is longer than Brotherhood's and is more effective, even if there really isn't a main villain and way too many supporting characters.

    The gameplay has barely changed. The economy is simpler, but more refreshing, the combat hasn't really gotten any new features (weapons are all that changes the gameplay) and the free running is still as fluid, even if Ezio is about to pop out a hip bone. The hook blade is a great weapon though and zipping around town is a brilliant experience that thrills. So what is innovated- the brotherhood mechanics mostly. Gathering an army of assassins still feels empowering and levelling them up and giving them new gear is rewarding in its own little way. The base attacks are just plain bad though. The new tower defence mechanics are pretty polished and work well, but why are they in Assassin's Creed? It really feels like Ubisoft was scraping the bottom of the barrel for new ideas before the innovative third numbered entry. Thankfully, I rarely had to do any.

    Multiplayer returns, with new modes, new missions and new characters. It still feels out of place in AC cannon, but at least it is better than those first person puzzles (I really don't like those). Some great moments can be produced, but I'd rather chase collectibles, assemble my factions and complete side missions in the main game.

    Don't believe the reviews because Revelations isn't the weakest entry in AC. It doesn't deserve a 7.5 or a 6, because it is still highly polished, with good graphics, great sound and plenty of content. Enjoy it for what it is, not what it could be!    … Expand

    For one, the horse-in-town feature of Rome has now been dropped in favour of a 'hook-blade' which allows you to traverse the rooftops quickly in various different ways. I personally didn't enjoy this as much as previous ways of exploring games, and found the speed-climb mechanic to a bit unpredictable and frustrating at times. However, it's manageable and doesn't break the game, so changes the pace enough to be new. There are still tunnels - ala Brotherhood - for internal fast-travel but found the game was so close-knit that long distance wasn't necessary until going for the 'extra collectables'.
    I found myself missing the Glyphs, and Puzzles which were ditched for Polo Symbols side -missions, which weren't challenging or particularly rewarding.
    The over-arching narrative of the Animus is basically an after-though for most of this game. With interaction with Subject 16 which gives very little in terms of plot development, and over-hearing the 'outside world' which gives even less plot development.

    The ending more than makes up for the downfalls of the game. and while I found the main story of the Saladin and co a little uninteresting, the story of Sofia and the new Turkish 'brotherhood' kept my interest.

    The addon features of this game is vast and cluttering of the game. Instead of shop quests we now have bomb making, which is interesting, but barely needed, aside from a single mission there is no need for these bombs at all, and with the continued methods of distracting guards, there is no real need for bombs as distraction techniques. However, I found myself using them just for the sake of it, and definitely prefer this to Shop Quests, but would prefer neither.

    Then you have Assassin Defence, which is just a Tower Defence mini-game, which would've worked better as an Android/iOS game than a mini-game, as again, aside from the force game mission introducing it, I never saw it again. The only way to trigger it is to keep your Templar Status at max for a long period of time, but this makes the rest of the game unnecessarily harder, and then just serves to distract as you're left running around defending the dens. Similarly the Assassin Recruits being sent to to capture and defend various cities around the world is a weak and under-developed feature of the game, and aside from 'levelling up' Assassin Recruits, it just serves as another poor mini-game, which can't even be completed 100% without being forced into the weak multiplayer world.

    Templar Tombs are basically dropped from this game, and Ezio's charm is watered-down a lot in this game. But again, the ending makes up for the short-comings and is still definitely worth playing.    … Expand

    More of the same for the second time. Which isn't a bad thing considering how fun the Assassin's Creed games are and how interesting their unique story is. The new setting is the only refreshment to be seen here though. Oh, almost forgot to mention the weird tower defence minigame. That's definitely something new, but... wth?

    Once again Ubisoft delivered another superb title which expanded after Brotherhood and Assassins Creed 2. I bought this on PS3 once again and gave it a 9.5 out of 10.

    Assassin's Creed vuelve exitosamente por la cuarta entrega de la saga, y les digo que es un juego digno de jugar como los anteriores títulos, si bien para mi gusto no supera a las últimas dos entregas, es un juego como siempre totalmente divertido y un sand box imperdible con animaciones y gráficos punzantes.

    Sadly Revelations is probably the worst in the series, it is still a better game than 1 but, unlike 1 it lacks innovation. To it takes steps back words in combat i found it worse than Brotherhood. the story is an improvement over Brotherhood at least. All the additions in this game failed to be any good, tower defense, Desmond sections. It was pretty disappointing,

    Assassin's Creed: Revelations Good Points:
    A wiser and beautiful new side of the great Ezio Auditore. HookBlade, it can be useful at times to escape quickly or scape with the zip in the rooftops. SoundTrack just can't get bad in this series and Jesper Kyd retires the franchise (for now) in an excellent way. Yusuf Tazim, just...him.

    A wiser and beautiful new side of the great Ezio Auditore. HookBlade, it can be useful at times to escape quickly or scape with the zip in the rooftops. SoundTrack just can't get bad in this series and Jesper Kyd retires the franchise (for now) in an excellent way. Yusuf Tazim, just...him. The map looks like Google Earth and it's really helpful for you to know where, exactly, are. We get to see what happened to Altaïr after the events of Assassin's Creed. The opening sequence, it's just incredible. The Places in the game, Capadoccia and Constantinople, are done with a lot of detail. Desmond's side, in this game we REALLY get to now him, and you begin to understand him. Synchronization to a 100% keeps being a challenge, and you'll have ton of fun accomplishing it. Voice acting doesn't get bad in this game, and fortunately, Roger Craig Smith was able to evolve into the older Ezio and make him feel, aged. The Sense of the Eagle, it's really cool and it helps for a few challenges.

    Bad Points: Crafting Bombs, it feels totally unnecessary and a pain in the a**. Den Defence (tower defence) is horrible and really frustrating, you are all the time wondering when it's going to end. Gameplay it's the same in every aspect, to Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and it doesn't feel fresh. Horse Riding is taken away, although it was not very comfortable in Brotherhood, it did help you get faster to somewhere, now you have to run through all Constantinople. It's Length, it is very short and not every bit of it is very fun. There's no "villain", like Cesare in Brotherhood or Rodrigo in Assassin's Creed II, so you don't feel like you know where you're heading next. It doesn't feel much like there were any major "revelations" in this game, except from Desmond's side. There are no more than 3 outfits, and although it is a minor bad point, it's just too few.
    Final Score:
    Assassin's Creed Revelations is and Okay game and doesn't really change from it's predecessor. It is very short and I wouldn't really recommend it, although, if you're a fan of the series and you want to now what happens buy it.
    Average Score: 7.8

    Revelations is a good game and a few gameplay changes have been made for the better such as the hookblade. In addition the combat is refined and the Janassary guards offer a good challenge.

    I must say I was expecting more in Ezio's last chapter in Assassin's Creed but I was satisfied playing the story, a few new features that Ubisoft tries to present as improvements prove to be little more than annoyances that made the game less entertaining

    If assassins creed brotherhood was AC 2.5 then this is AC 2.75. The jump between this game and brotherhood is minuscule and many of the new ideas introduced are unnecessary or annoying.

First off the reason I give this game a 7 and not a 5 or 6 is that assassins creed 2's gameplay holds up very well and is still very fun. I also like the hookblade even if it just makes free-running more fun. The multiplayer is improved slightly but it has less of a jump between brotherhood and this game than most call of duty's do. The main problems come in the fact the game goes through periods of amazing action set pieces such as chasing a chariot or escaping burning ships and boring missions where you simply follow someone around for a while and fight a couple of enemies. This made the game drag on and bore me at many points. The story also while tying up altair's story from the original game, ezio's feels unfinished and to see the true finale you have to watch a short film sold separately. Also the tower defense portion of the game while being extremely unnecessary did not annoy me as I only had to do it once for the tutorial so I don't think its as much of a problem as most reviewers make it out to be. Desmond's sections however are boring and out of place portal style puzzles that have no place in an assassins creed game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The voice of Q from star trek as Desmond's father was somewhat enjoyable to me given the nature of the game being similar to the Q time continuum. I must say my game came with a copy of Embers which is why I have marked it down to an 8 out of 10. To see Ezio die on a bench was pretty annoying especially since in a metal gear solid 4 kind of way he decided at the end of revelations to live his life and find love but in embers he still had regrets ect. I must say Revelations was a very good game and I did not see the twist coming with Ahmet being a templar, i found that very interesting.

    Though not quite as compelling as the previous Ezio adventures, "Assassin's Creed: Revelations" is still a fun entry into the series and a fitting, poigniant end to the Ezio trilogy.

    The game adds few new gameplay features to the series, but it's ok. This is clearly a game made for the die-hard fans of the series (of which, I am one) and the die-hards will find a lot to love here.

Obisoft has done some great things in developing the series since the first iteration, which I think most can agree was disappointing. The greatest part of these games are historical details that are included. Exploring the great ancient cities and seeing the large sites and sounds was what I played for. Sometimes just wandering the streets until I found another "tourist attraction" to learn about. This game has brought that but the lustre has gone.
    THE BAD BAD: They have introduced a system where you must defend your clan bases from the Templars attract. This amounts to a simple, and yet frustrating, tower defence mini game. THIS IS THE WORST PART OF THE GAME. The only other negative I have found is the lack of good change this game provides. This game feels too similar to the past versions for it to stand out.

    Ezio comes back - he's much older, more tired and almost weary of the journey that was chosen for him. His path leads to Constantinople, an exotic location but strangely familiar ground. Here, he will embark on another adventure, different and known at the same time.

Though not free of bugs, they seem to be only minor imperfections and nothing else; Revelations offers excellent playability and a must-have experience to any AC fan. Furthermore, I couldn't agree less with those accusing it of being everything but fresh - after stale Brotherhood, this is the very definition of a fresh turn. Don't listen to mean reviewers - there's nothing tragic, rushed, meandering or dissapointing about Revelations.    … Expand

Renovating shops, buying landmarks, recruiting assassins...the whole game feels pointless. The entire story is pointless too. Basically, Desmond has to "clear up" his mind by viewing Ezio's last memories so that he doesn't go insane. That's the most laughable plot of a video game I have ever heard. The combat system is THE EXACT SAME as brotherhood though Ezio has a some new killing animations. Also, for a game that is supposed to be about an assassin brotherhood, there aren't many assassinations going on. In the whole game there were like 1 or two assassinations and you did not get to stealthily kill them. It was linear. They basically challenged you to a sword fighting duel. Remember the targets in the previous games. How you had different ways of getting close to your target, kill him and then walk away quietly? Well, all that is gone. Instead its an all out war between a "secret" brotherhood and armies of tempers. That is where den defense comes in. Basically, hundreds of Byzantine tempers attack your "hideouts" and you and your loyal assassins go to the roof tops and kill them.......This...is....NOT ASSASSIN'S CREED! Where are the guards? How can armies of Byzantines invade an Ottoman city and openly take over buildings and the city guards do NOTHING about it! I could go on and on but its really not worth it.

    A good gameplay, even though there is not much good improvement outside of the bomb crafting. The graphics also begins to need a revamp. The story also felt like chronicles to Ezio's story more than a sequel. The big thing about this AC is the multiplayer, in fact: more game types, and less glitches than the Brotherhood version. In the end, buy it for the multiplayer, rent it for the singleplayer.

    Perfect game, it can even outshine Batman: Arkham City. There are no flaws, everything works well. Combat is easy but still interesting, story is amasing, stealth is good, parkour knows no equal.

Another new feature i really like that has been catching a lot of flak from other reviewers is the tower defense mini game they have put in the game. Good times. The fighting is better than ever, with many different enemy types that employ a variety of different tactics during battle. The counter kills are BRUTAL in this edition my friends. Even though there are a million more games out there with more graphic gore and blood, i feel this is some of the wildest violence i have seen in a game. Some other cool things are the missions you undertake with a friendly AI assassin, capturing templar "dens", and the altair flashback missions. I did have a few issues with the game though. I encountered several minor bugs throughout the game, nothing major but i feel i have never encountered any bugs, at least noteworthy bugs, in other AC games. Sometimes getting ezio (your character) to do what you wanted was not easy or not intuitive, and sometimes the game would take away certain abilities without reason. one example that comes to mind was a time when i couldnt use poisons. also the game is packed with content which is awesome except that some of it just felt like filler (finding hidden books, sending your assassins to other cities on missions). while sending your assassins on missions levels them up, i felt that they could have found a better way to implement that. but at least the filler content is optional. the multiplayer is not something i spent a lot of time with but it is fun and def different from what other m rated multiplayer games are offering so thats a plus.
