It’s all about the open-world exploration of the game’s breathtaking translation of 15th-century Rome, scaling the city’s massive structures with smooth and fast parkour-style movements. And here’s the kicker, and allow me to completely blow your mind: Brotherhood is, in almost all ways, a better game.Īssassin’s Creed: Brotherhood (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360) Īs far as the core mechanics are concerned, Brotherhood sticks to the formula of the previous titles, with the player once again taking on the role of Assassin’s Creed II’s lead, Ezio Auditore.
What Brotherhood is, however, is a deep and rich game experience that builds on the strengths of its predecessor. Instead, it acts more as an epilogue to the story told in Assassin’s Creed II. It’s not a full-blown sequel, either this isn’t Assassin’s Creed 3. Let’s deal with the elephant in the room right now: Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood isn’t a quick cash-in on last year’s massively successful and (mostly) critically-acclaimed sequel.
