Asassin's Creed: Brotherhood



ASSASSINO!!!!! Hey this is D.A.R. Jr. with a review on AC Brotherhood! As you may already know, the story follows Desmond Miles as he continues to follow his Italian ancestor, Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Unfortunately, Desmond, Lucy, Rebecca, and Sean had to relocate their operation after Vidic found them at the end Assassin's Creed 2. You begin the story with them arriving at Villa Monteriggioni in Italy. From there Desmond must use what he learned from following Ezio to help Lucy find and open the door to the Sanctuary so that they can set up the Animus. From there you follow Ezio has he begins his journey from Rome back to the Villa. When he gets there talks of what he saw and even mentioned that Minerva was talking to a "phantom" named Desmond. Ha Ha!! Anyway the next day Ezio is awakened by the huge cannon ball that was blasted through the roof of his bedroom. He enters the battle and does his best until he was shot twice just as his Uncle Mario was killed and the Apple of Eden taken by the latest villain, Cesare Borgia. From there he escapes with his mother Maria, sister Claudia, and the rest of the people. Later he arrives at Rome, he rescues Caterina Sforza and meets with Niccolo Machiavelli to discuss what will be done about the Borgia influence. And that is what leads to Ezio destroying Borgia towers, recruiting assassins whom you can summon at any time while in combat, renovating buildings, shops, etc. All to remove the Borgia influence and rebuild Rome. There is even more to do besides the normal story. Since most of Ezio's memories are vague and partially encrypted, you must complete missions under a certain circumstance to fully synchronize the memory. There are also "Cristina missions". These are missions named after Ezio's old girlfriend Cristina Vespucci. The missions are memories of what happened between Ezio and Cristina and must be complete to help the synchronization with Ezio. Also, feathers have returned, and you can also remove Borgia Flags. That's pretty much it for the story mode, now I wanna tell you about online. First of all...It's pretty DAMN CRAZY! There are more than 2 game modes...sorry I haven't played all of them yet (online characters are standing behind Ezio in this picture). One game mode I have played is called "Manhunt". Here your whole team is dressed as the same person and the opposing team is dressed as a different person. The objective is to kill members of the other team, or hide if your team is being pursued. My favorite one is called "Wanted" where you are given a contract to kill a player while simultaneously being pursued by 1 or more other players, depending on your rank. It's a REAL RUSH!






Ok that's all I have to say for now so until my next post...SEE YAAAA!!!!!!!
