Assassin's Creed: Revelations - Xbox 360

Easily a top 5 Xbox game in our extensive collection...

I enjoyed my time with AC:R and would recommend it to fans of the series, if just for some of the story content. The great part is it closes out the Ezio Trilogy, and shows him in his later years in life. Still, the amount of familiarity you experience is a little disappointing - and you will have to have played "Brotherhood" to completely understand the mechanics. You play in a new city, interact with new characters and a "new" story yet I rarely felt that I was doing something that I hadn't done multiple times in the previous games. To put it bluntly, the game play is starting to get stale. There were some frame-rate issues, but we are late in the XBOX's life cycle, so that is to be expected. Bomb crafting is new to the series and I will be concise. It can be cool at times, but it feels forced and is overall completely unnecessary to succeed in the game - and I rarely used the bomb crafting mechanic ever, especially considering the vast amount of options you usually have (hiring factions, ranged weapons, calling in assassins). Mediterranean defense returns but once I promoted Master Assassins to guard my dens, I never bothered with it again. "Missions" take only a few minutes and you eventually realize you're spending a lot of time sending your assassins out to do things that don't really pertain to the story and the game. The multiplayer has been greatly improved over Brotherhood, and it is worth it for the experience and variety. It is a nice change of pace from your standard first-person multiplayer shooter, but it still doesn't have that spark that would keep me playing for more than a week or two. For the price that the game is right now, this is definitely worth the price of admission, and you can definitely get 10-30 hours of game-play out of this game, depending if you are a completion fiend or not. Not the best in the series, and I would say it is a 3.5, not a 4.

My fav game in the series, classic! Would love a remaster

I am a big assassin's creed fan so I picked this one up as I hadn't yet played it. I thought it was another fun entry in the series, though the story didn't quite equal some of the others. It followed the same basic formula of course, with more of a focus on the development of new assassins as well as a few new features. Overall I'd definitely recommend it to fans of the series or someone looking to pick up a fun and cheap game!

Fourth game in the assassin's creed series, fills in what happens after brotherhood and before assassin's creed 3. I've been told that this game works to recap past story lines and prepare gamers for later titles if they didn't play past ones
