The Assassins Creed series is one of Ubisoft's most popular gaming series for the main platforms of Xbox, PS3, and the Wii. With the upcoming game taking place in the United States of America, I decided to make this review in honor of this game. Assassins Creed Revelations is not known as Assassins Creed 4, even though it is the fourth game, because it is part of the second game plot, which includes Assassins Creed 2, Brotherhood, and this game, effectively making this game Assassins Creed two and two thirds, mainly because the next game is known as Assassins Creed 3. In this game, you follow the events of Ezio Auditore, who is the descendant of Altair, one of the greatest assassins of all time. The Templars, who are against Ezio, are looking for what Ezio is looking for too: The keys to Altair's Library. Not only do you have this great story mode to play, but you also have a multiplayer mode where you play as the Templars, which is the opposite of the main game. You also get to experience a free world, in which you can take a break from the main story line and kill some Templars for fun. This stages a huge game that features historical cities, exciting events, and the general fun of stabbing anyone who attempts to kill you. Graphics 8: The graphics in this game are extremely good, but not the best. They don't have the most detailed graphics, but they did a great job at recreating old cities. For example, you can notice that the architecture of Constantinople (or Istanbul, whatever takes your liking) probably is very similar to what it was at this time period in history. Also, the design of the characters in general is absolutely stunning. They created Altair and Ezio in such a way that they look like they could be realistic. Ubisoft focused a lot on the graphics in my opinion, based on how good they are. Sound 10: First off, the way they incorporate the voice actors in to this game is absolutely amazing. I especially like how they made Ezio's voice so cool, because it really adds to the effect of how awesome he is. Then, you get the awesome sound effects that Ubisoft incorporated in to the game, such as the random chatter or distinctive sword drawing. Finally, you get the theme music. I would have to put this theme music before Uncharted 3 and Skyrim in my theme music list, just because the orchestra in this song is so amazing. I bought the song on my iPod and listed to it about once every 2 days. Addictiveness 10: This game is extremely addictive in terms of what game type it is. It may not be as addictive as Call of Duty first person shooters, but it really is an amazingly addictive game. The single player story mode is absolutely amazing in how it works, such as how it allows you to see Ezio "hallucinate" and see what Altair did long ago, which is really cool. Not only do you get that feature, but you get to see how an assassin den would probably work if they were still around today (except with modern guns such as an AK-47 and the UMP45). The multiplayer mode is also amazing in how you get to be a Templar. What you do is you kill a target that is assigned to you, but you also have to make sure that you are not killed by the person that is Story 10: This story is absolutely amazing! First off, you start off the game being hung off a cliff, which goes wrong because you The multiplayer story is existent, but is definitely not as long as the main story. You basically are a recruit of the Templars and must reach level 50 to get to the final quest in the story, which really wraps the game together. Depth 10: This game is so deep in how the two game modes each have their own story. The game probably holds about 10 hours of main game and 24 hours of multiplayer game (for some reason multiplayer is always longer). The depth is very important to this game because you need all this time to fully understand what happens at all times. This game is so fast that you will usually not tell what is happening around you, such as 20 Templars on the rooftops trying to snipe you with the "modern" technology of the time period, which is gunpowder and rifles. You should have no problem losing days in this game (as long as you sleep, or it will take about a day and a half). Difficulty 2: This game is really fun in how easy it is. For example, you have the story mode where it is almost impossible to die, unless you have 100 Templars surrounding you and kill you after one blow from each. The multiplayer mode is a little harder, in how people are actually good at the multiplayer, while the computers are really bad at attempting to hurt you. I would put the main story at 1, and the multiplayer at 3, just based on the difficulty of the two. Overall 10: This is the first game I have given a ten in my reviewing career, mainly because it is really that good of a game. This game also is very unique in how it combines Assassinations and old time cultures all in one game, which is an extremely good combination that you will realize after you play the game. Not only does this game show that aspect, but this game (as well as the series) help solidify the position of Ubisoft as one of the top game developers currently. I would recommend this game to absolutely everyone, especially if you are not bothered by blood and stabbing, and if you are a huge medieval history fan, because you get to experience Constantinople and other old cities in their natural state.

Just going through the games, aren't you? Maybe I should start doing this for the Tour as well. Anyways, pretty good review. The game is definitely addicting. Unfortunately, I have only played it for a few minutes. I wish I had it for my XBOX 360. |

thing1 : I want to see how fast I can meet quota, and I think I am at 150 points, and I need 300. I also want to see how high I can get on the TDV today, just for fun. You really should get this game for your XBOX, because it would be worth every penny. |

mlb789 : Lol. Hold off on finishing meeting quota until tomorrow, if you don't mind? I am trying to get as many points as possible, and starwars has two jerseys right now. But, as of right now, I have more points than him. But yeah, I might. Once I get a hob, and have enough spare change to get it. But yeah, I might.

I've actually played Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 before, but not Brotherhood or Revelations. I should probably let my sister play it first. I'm not sure though. I kind of want to play this game so badly just because I want to play as Altair. Good review man |

starwars293 : You don't play as Altair, you play as Ezio, but you "hallucinate" about Altair sometimes, as shown in the trailer for the game. |
