Review: Assasins Creed 3 - Brotherhood

One of the many good games out nowadays.

The Good

• Huge, beautiful city stuffed with amazing details  
• Lairs and other platforming sequences are fantastic  
• Long, with lots of fun and varied activities  
• Economy is more meaningful than before  
• All sorts of improvements, big and small.

The Bad

• Main story is disappointing  
• Assassin recruitment is contrived and ultimately meaningless  
• Glitches.

The ladies of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood have both bark and bite. If you played Assassins Creed II then you already know Caterina Sforza, the comely Italian countess with a soft spot for sly, rugged assassins. She's not the only female character with an important role to play in Brotherhood, however. Claudia Auditore is no longer just a submissive bookkeeper, but rather a strong young woman who eventually learns to handle a blade. And then there's Cesare Borgia's cunning sister Lucrezia, whose sharp tongue is matched by her severe, almost vampiric appearance. These willful women are ensemble players in the continuing drama of Ezio Auditore, the self-assured star of Assassin's Creed II. His story continues in Brotherhood, which begins directly after the events that closed its predecessor. This follow-up tale doesn't have the same impact of the story that spawned it, but Ezio's world is a wonder to inhabit, filled with amazing architectural detail and bursting with tons of enjoyable content.

The Score: 8.7/10
Award: Good Choice
