Single player- AC:B's story mode is fantastic, tons of stuff to do that took me well past the 20 hour mark of gamplay to get everything and all of the achievments which very few games can give you, yes im looking at you Call of Duty. The gameplay is great, as always, although a bit easy at times. But the game balances out the easy combat with VERY challenging missions. The only negative about the story mode is that the story itself feels a little weak in comparison to AC2.
The game mostly takes place in Rome, with the exception of a few flashback sequences and side missions, and a few segments as Desmond in the present which are easily the best sequences the series has offered yet. The overall story, not just Ezio's crusade for revenge...im talking about Desmond and the templars and the ever approaching doomsdsay...is utterly mind blowing again, just as it was in AC2. Rome itself is easiest the single best envirement ever created in a video game. And thats not an exxageration at all, it is just that good.
Multiplayer- Honestly, AC:B's multiplayer is the most rewarding and satisfying online experiance you are likely to find these days. The idea of being the hunter and the hunted at the same time, amidst spectacular city enviroments and vistas full of detail and differnent things to interact with, is amazing. It's tense and fun and never frustrating as wether you do good or bad, is completely dependant on how you play.
One reviewer said its mostly based on luck and chance....but thats just not true as any SKILLED player will tell you. You dont run around in this game looking for a kill, if you do, you will get taken out quite quickly. You have use stealth and blending methods that you're introduced to in the single player. You have a huge variety of ways to kill your target and gain more points for being hidden or stealthy and creative in your killing with plenty of things to unlock as you level up. Finally a multiplayer thats worth coming back to.
