The Good: Constantinople is an excellent new setting, bombs and hookblade add a layer of depth to combat and exploring, epic main missions, long asked questions finally answered, great storytelling and voice acting, superb visuals, amped up multiplayer
The Bad: Now there are new questions, smallest play area in the series, hardly any side missions, bombs can't be used as much due to lack of missions, Desmond's Journey is awkward, boring, and out of place
Ezio Auditore da Firenze. When most gamers here this name they think of one of the best video game characters ever made. Ezio went down in-game history the way he did for a reason. Assassin's Creed revolutionized the action/adventure genre with assassination skills, and a whole new take on stealth gameplay, plus awesome parkour gameplay. Revelations is the conclusion to Altair and Ezio's story, but just another chapter for Desmond Miles. Desmond is stuck in the blackness of the Animus and is in kind of a coma. His brain can't tell his personality apart from Ezio and Altair's, so Subject 16 (yes you finally meet him), helps you a little bit here. There isn't much of Desmond here because this is the two assassin's story, in fact there is only three cut-aways to Desmond through the whole game.
Ezio's story starts with him trying to find 5 keys that Altair hid, but the Templars are also after them. Altair has some secret hidden library under Masyaf, so it's a race. This is the shortest AC game to date, but that doesn't mean it's worse. There is a new layer added to Ezio's personality because he's 50 through 62 in this game. Playing as an old man is pretty awesome though. Ezio is now wiser, smarter, and a master assassin. You even play as Altair through his old age up to 92 and he still kicks butt! This should be more like Geriatrics's Creed. Let's go ahead and start with side missions. The same one's from Brotherhood are kept, but others from past games are cut. Templar Dens replace Borgia Towers, you can recru
