   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just finished the game. It was 2am in the morning. The ending was so I have no words to explain well it like playing Batman Arkham City I was completey immersed the story and as if I was Ezio or Altiar in the game. . It completely blew me away. The ending made me so excited for AC3. Those who though Assassin Creed Brother was AC3 not its not technically it AC2.5 and ACR well I don't know 2.5.5? I would say Assassin Creed Revelation is the best of the Assassin Creed Series. First the story is Epic you learn more about Ezio and learn about what happened to Altair. Yes I know there some fans complaining about the fight mechanics but it still satisfying doing long streaks. I loved the new additions in the game but den defense was bit off but there was great improvement in how the assassin apprentice progress. The idea of master assassin mission is a huge improvement. This gives a picture how new assassin are trained. Also the notorious first person mode for Desmond. Yes I know it very random but actually I found very fun. I liked more about Desmond pass. The multi player also improved greatly. I loved how the added the bombs and new perks. The top thing I loved about in ACR are the new secret locations It huge improvement from AC2 and ACB locations. The small stuff I get didnt like was loss of horses from ACB I loved them but the zip lines was very good idea. Also when fighting I found using bomb and easy to kill enemies which made the game a bit to easy but there where times i actually needed to survive. Yes the counter moves are pretty much similar from before but they a lot of new counter moves to Ezio you just have to wait and see what new epic move he will do. This are small problems but DON'T LET IT STOP YOU FROM NOT HAVING A GOOD TIME IN THE GAME!!!!!! Honestly it just a small problem don't make it ruin the whole game. Also the last thing I was going say is please for those who haven't played a single Assassin Creed game play the first three games before think of buying ACR. This will give whole story because some people who give a low score. The reason is because they just look at gameplay not story because probably they didn't understand what is happening in the game. The story is reason why I give this game a 10 and I ignore all the small problem :D. I am very excited for Assassin Creed 3… Expand

Now, does a game that adds minor improvements to previous great games (in this case, AC2) mean the game is better, worse, or is it on equal footing? Nonetheless, despite not making the leaps AC2 made, it's pretty great. Unlike some of my contemporaries, I enjoy the tower defense.… Expand

   The only new additions to AC's gameplay with this instalment add very little to the experience (if anything, they detract from it) and everyThe only new additions to AC's gameplay with this instalment add very little to the experience (if anything, they detract from it) and every other aspect, carried directly from Brotherhood, seems somehow more sluggish and unworkable then they were before, Ezio himself moving even slower than in ACII (Am I crazy to think that the fourth game in a popular series would be an upgrade instead of a downgrade?). The character of Ezio has certainly seen better days, and the plot that surrounds him in 16th Century Constantinople is even more paper-thin than Brotherhood, the city itself is poorly designed and lacks the flow of cities in previous titles like Florence, Venice and Roma, and its even more scaled down than Roma as well, a fete which I thought impossible, given how tiny Roma was to begin with. The supporting characters however, in particular, Yusuf Tazim, do tend to bring life to an otherwise dead script whenever they are involved. Desmond's story is the complete opposite, with regular updates coming in regarding events in the real world and Desmond's own personal journey to free his mind from the animus, within which he is trapped, with yet another great supporting character, Subject 16. The Multiplayer carries its bulk from Brotherhood, but, unlike the single-player, refines the experience rather than weigh it down underneath an ever-growing pile of unnecessary **** If you're an Assassin's Creed fan, of course you should buy this, Desmond's plot is really coming together, and if you can ignore a ****-load of average gameplay, you'll feel very rewarded at the end (if nothing else, this game ended well). If you're looking for some original, ingenious multiplayer to break up the testosterone overload caused by mainstream shooters, again, you should buy this. If you don't fall into either of these categories, I would advise you to stay away. Hey, it's still better than AC1, but that isn't saying much :|… Expand

   Il est assez rare lorsqu'on fait autant de suites à une licence renommée de maintenir un bon niveau mais Ubi Soft y parvient malgré tout avecIl est assez rare lorsqu'on fait autant de suites à une licence renommée de maintenir un bon niveau mais Ubi Soft y parvient malgré tout avec ce quatrième (!) épisode d'Assassin's Creed. Nouvelle ville bien sûr dont l'ambiance est radicalement différente des précédentes, une légère amélioration des graphismes et une maniabilité encore en progrès (les deux roues des armes sont un vrai plus et permettent d'utiliser bien plus efficacement toutes les compétences de notre (maintenant) bon vieux Ezio.
   
   C'est toujours aussi beau ou en tout cas dans le haut du panier des jeux de ce genre même si les AC mélangent avec toujours autant de talent pas mal de genres (GTA, de I'infiltration, Tomb Raider...). Les énigmes du sujet 16 ont disparu (pas un mal surtout depuis ACB) et ont été remplacées par un délire à la Portal mais sans téléporteur : un peu curieux mais il faut reconnaître que ça fonctionne assez bien.
   
   Un bémol pour quelques séquences qui se laissent aller à des tics unchartiens qui n'ont vraiment rien à faire dans un jeu de cette qualité, idem pour une ou deux scènes à la limite du QTE merdeux. Cela reste rare heureusement.
   
   Tant qu'on est aux griefs, n'oublions pas les séquences du type "tower defense" à deux balles (lorsqu'on perd un repaire) qui tombent comme un cheveu sur la soupe. On note aussi quelques soucis d'IA (les gardes qui attaquent sans raison alors que la notoriété est très basse ?...).
   
   Pour le reste, VF toujours de très bon aloi, musique agréable même si Jesper Kyd est moins inspiré que dans AC Brotherhood (il faut dire qu'il avait particulièrement brillé dans l'opus précédent), et narrativement parlant AC Revelations est sans doute le meilleur épisode de la série combinant cette fois les histoires réelles et virtuelles sans se prendre les pieds dans le tapis. Il reste bien entendu encore moult inconnues dans la grande équation, car à chaque réponse apportée, une nouvelle question apparaît : la Vérité est ailleurs...
   
   ACR fait donc partie de la meilleure trilogie des AC, derrière AC2 et AC Brotherhood certes mais bien devant AC4 Black Flag.… Expand

The story has improved very much, and I won't say anything but it's really immersive and profound. BUT. The gameplay, voice acting and all those important stuff did not change a bit. It's the same controls, same assassination methods, same counter attacks and the same voice. It's fine for the obssessive AC fans, but really? I'm kinda tired of doing this **** all over again. Don't get me wrong; it's a good game for the AC newbies, but guys who played all 3 AC games, it's decent.… Expand

Compared to the original, that's about how different this game is from it's predecessors. Just like MW3..it's the SAAAAAAME thing over and over again so they can have a yearly release with nothing new being offered to the customer. BOOORING.… Expand
