Assassin's Creed Revelations - Most Wanted Part 1

Assassin's Creed Revelations - Most Wanted Part 1

Hello once again Hall0606 with another blog post. So basically this little series I call Most Wanted and basically it’s the same thing that I did with my Assassins Creed Brotherhood  videos, which I entitled them as Wanted Mayhem and Manhunt Mayhem. So this is a collection of my Wanted matches from Assassins Creed Revelations embedded onto my blog with some extra notes to go along with the videos.

----------------------------------------

MODE: Wanted -- Your objective is to kill your designated TARGETS and avoid being killed by your PURSUERS. The higher you rank, the more PURSUERS will hunt you. The highest score wins. Quality kills will boost your score through bonuses earned.

    Free for all -- 4-8 players

    Session -- 1 round of 10 minutes

MAP: Antioch

PERSONA: Vanguard

PROFILE SETS: 1(Default 2: Fire Crackers and Disguise)

----------------------------------------

ASSASSIN'S CREED REVELATIONS | WANTED | PART 1 | ONLINE MATCH

 

In this match I am low level and using default profile set 2, which consists of fire crackers and disguise. Now I pretty much only used the disguise since it is the most useful in this mode especially when dealing with pursers cause they will most likely be concentrating on finding the person in the profile picture in the top right, which will leave them exposed for some easy stuns. When using disguise you always have to be careful that your pursers or targets don’t see you using it otherwise you just wasted your disguise ability and any possible advantages you may have had are lost. Now the players in this much are all low levelled and somewhat inexperienced. So one or two surprise stuns and kills I was able to pull off. Now in this match the Knight tends to spend a lot of time on the roof and I try my best to avoid going on the roof because I don’t do so well on the roof tops and also it will cause my detection meter to drop as I’m climbing. I try to use moving blend groups as best as I could to get closer to my targets, furthermore I do have a bit of bad luck in the beginning. However I did try and fight my way back to the top as best as I could.

----------------------------------------

MAP: Galata

PERSONA: Crusader

PROFILE SETS: 1(Default 2: Fire Crackers and Disguise)

----------------------------------------
 ASSASSIN'S CREED REVELATIONS | WANTED | PART 2 | ONLINE MATCH

Another low level player match and much like the first do utilise the disguise ability a fair bit in this match.  Also just like the first match the Ottoman Jester spends a lot of time on the roof tops like the Knight did in the first video. I do get a lot of pursers on me in this match at least 2-3 at a time and it can be very difficult to catch up to your targets while trying to avoid so many pursers but again I try my best to do so. Furthermore do earn all my variety bonuses in this match which helps a lot with the final score and in general it was a very early level enjoyable match.

Dungeon Defenders (XBLA) First Play

Dungeon Defenders (XBLA) First Play

Dungeon Defenders is a tower defence/Action RPG and is a lot of fun alone but even better when playing with other people providing there not jerks. Anyway this is my first play of dungeon defenders and I plan on making videos up to the fourth level. As with most of my videos I’ve added commentary to the two videos I’ve uploaded so far. 

The first two videos are nothing special I start off on the first level which is The Deeper Well. This level begins with two tutorial waves before really starting. Not much commentary is on these first to videos because of the talking narrator during the tutorials. Nevertheless place thumbs up if like the video and join me for my next blog post.

Assassin's Creed Revelations Stun Montage

Assassin's Creed Revelations Stun Montage

Been a while since I’ve updated my blog but videos are still being uploaded to my YouTube Channel. For this post I thought I would add my stun montage video I uploaded last week on My YouTube channel. This montage is basically a selection of clips from some of my multiplayer matches from Assassins Creed Revelations.  It’s the first time I’ve done anything like this, apart from my intro that is. So hopefully if enough people enjoy the video then maybe I’ll do more. 

I tried to find a variety clips involving different stuns like stuns with smoke bombs, naked stuns etc. I was aiming for the video to be at least five minutes but it ended up being a lot longer almost ten minutes. There were so many good clips I just kept adding them till I realised how long the video was going to turn out to be.

Anyway the video is embedded below for all to see if you have seen it already. If you like the video leave a comment and give the video thumbs up.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Wanted Mayhem Part 4

Gameame Mode: WANTED
Map: FLORENCE
Persona: Thief
PROFILE SETS: Smoke Bomb & Poison, Mute & Smoke Bomb

ASSASSIN'S CREED BROTHERHOOD | WANTED | PART 8 | ONLINE MATCH

So in this wanted things start off well but I do make one huge mistake in the later part of the match. As always I take my time and blend in a lot with moving crowds as that is something that works well for me. I try my best to stay off of roof tops as that is something that doesn’t work for me but you’ll see a lot of my targets using the roof in this match. There are a number of good moments when I was able to escape and get a number of stuns on my pursers, which is something I seem to be getting better at.

Gameame Mode: WANTED
Map: PIENZA
Persona: Thief
PROFILE SETS: Smoke Bomb & Poison, Mute & Smoke Bomb

ASSASSIN'S CREED BROTHERHOOD | WANTED | PART 9 | ONLINE MATCH

For me personally this has to be my favourite wanted match. Everything just fell into place nicely. One thing I finally realised by the time I started this match was that blending in with moving crowds causes them to move towards your target. Now I blend in with crowds a lot but this is something I never took much notice of, which is way it is such a surprise to me when I finally did realise this fact. Anyway another thing for me in this match I was able to spot my pursers a lot easier and was able to plan on how to take them out, which worked well for most of the match. So along with all the stunning gameplay I was able attain a number of kills in this match gaining a number of bonuses especially the hidden bonus. As always my to favourite profile sets Smoke Bomb & Poison, Mute & Smoke Bomb I switch between and use pretty well during this match. Anyway this was one of my better match videos I think and I hope everyone that watches enjoys.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Wanted Mayhem Part 3

Game Mode: WANTED
Map: ALHAMBRA NIGHT
Persona: Prowler
PROFILE SETS: Mute & Smoke Bomb, Disguise & Poison

ASSASSIN'S CREED BROTHERHOOD | WANTED | PART 6 | ONLINE MATCH

A much slower paste match this time around, furthermore not a lot points being earned by anyone in this match. The players in this match are all high level players between each 40 -50. The finish to this match was very surprising and bit of luck I suppose was involved. As usual blending in with crowds works well for me at certain points in this match, however I don’t put my abilities to good use and pretty much waste them.

Game Mode: WANTED
Map: MT-ST MICHEL NIGHT
Persona: Thief
PROFILE SETS: Smoke Bomb & Poison

ASSASSIN'S CREED BROTHERHOOD | WANTED | PART 7 | ONLINE MATCH

Another decent match, however it is on my least favourite map Mt St Michel. Also to add further frustration it is the night version of this map. This map is just a giant maze for me and I never really do well on this map. It takes me ages to reach my targets a lot of the time when play on this map and bad things just always seem to happen to me on this map. For this match profile set is smoke Bomb and poison, which provides good defensive and allows for high score kills if used well. The officer in this match also seems to have my number as I have a few encounters with him during this match.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Wanted Mayhem Part 2

Game Mode: WANTED
Map: VENICE
Persona: Thief
PROFILE SETS: Smoke Bomb & Poison

ASSASSIN'S CREED BROTHERHOOD | WANTED | PART 4 | ONLINE MATCH

During this match I used the smoke bomb and poison profile set throughout the match. The poison comes into play a few times against the Executioner who I mistakenly call the Butcher. Also I do call the prowler a hunter. Blending in with the crowds worked well against my pursers who for most of the match were making themselves obvious anyway. There aren’t very many High level players in this match there are about 3 or 4 between level 30 and 50 and the rest are 1 to 10 in levels.

Game Mode: WANTED
Map: SAN DONATO NIGHT
Persona: Thief
PROFILE SETS: Mute & Smoke Bomb

ASSASSIN'S CREED BROTHERHOOD | WANTED | PART 5 | ONLINE MATCH

For this match I use my defensive profile set of Mute & Smoke Bomb which comes in very handy against my pursers which throughout parts of the match I get three pursers on me. Also blend in more as usual with crowds and get some hidden bonuses. As always I take my time throughout most of the match which is something that works well for me and is something that I will keep sticking to in these wanted matches.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Wanted Mayhem Part 1

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Wanted Mayhem Part 1

So it’s been awhile since I've updated my blog with anything, but I have uploaded a lot of new videos of games mostly ACB online matches, which I've gotten back into recently. So I'm calling this series Wanted Mayhem and I've started adding commentary to my videos because I think for most videos it’s not enough to just add gameplay videos on its own. So I’ve got a new mic and in a few of my earlier commentary videos I was using a Logitech mic to record my audio commentary. However I felt that I needed a much better mic to record my commentary. Mainly because the Logitech mic was never really meant to be used as an audio recording device it was meant for online player chat, but when you’re recording commentaries you need something more relevant for that kind of thing. The main problem with the Logitech mic was the usually popping sounds with certain words and it also pretty much picked up sounds from the background and even the sounds of the headset moving where picked up. So I ordered a new mic that is well worth the money and it is the Blue Snowball mic. It is one of the best affordable mics I've used and is well worth the money.

Anyway enough about that it’s time to get to my ACB videos. As I was saying I've started adding commentary to my videos that I'm uploading now. Mostly the ACB online matches at the moment but as I get better at doing commentaries I'll add more of them to my other videos. So I'm calling this series ACB Wanted Mayhem similar to ACB Manhunt Mayhem and it’s just basically my videos embedded onto my blog also with a little more insight to the videos written into the blog posts. So I hope you enjoy I am getting slowly better at doing these videos and I want my videos to be enjoyable to watch and I mostly want to share my single player and multiplayer experiences as a gamer.  

ASSASSIN'S CREED BROTHERHOOD | WANTED | PART 2 | ONLINE MATCH

Game Mode: WANTED
Map:FORLI
Persona: The Footpad
PROFILE SETS: Smoke Bomb & Poison

In my first Wanted match in a long while I have a pretty rocky ride in this match. I get killed a fair bit by the nobleman in this match, but the quality of my kills makes up for it. I'm also using smoke bomb and poison to try and maximize my score as best as I can. The smoke bomb comes in handy when my pursuers run in close to me. So apart from being killed twice for every kill I get the match ended pretty well. There were moments where I thought there is now way I’ll finish in first place or second or even third. So I was a bit surprised with the ending result. Hardly any time spent blending with crowds for this one, which is mu usual and most preferred style of playing. In turn it kind of made things harder for me to try and stay alive long enough to reach and kill my target. Anyway its good watch so enjoy unfortunately this video doesn’t have commentary as I uploaded it before I got my new mic.   

ASSASSIN'S CREED BROTHERHOOD | WANTED | PART 3 | ONLINE MATCH

Game Mode: WANTED
Map: CASTEL GANDOLFO
Persona: The Thief
PROFILE SETS: Smoke Bomb & Mute, Smoke Bomb & Poison, Disguise & Smoke Bomb

So this is my first ACB video with commentary recorded with the Blue Snow Ball. In this match it was my first match back playing ACB after about three months. So in this match I listen out more for the whispers, which is something I never really did in my past matches. And it is something that really helps as it lets you know when your pursers are close to you. Take more time and care then I did before I blend in more with crowds. There also a couple of interesting moments with my pursers in this match also. Also at one moment I thought the Officer was my purser, but after watching the video again I realised that it couldn’t have been my purser because one no chase was initiated when he was running at me and, two there was no red triangle above his head when he was running and three the Prowler was my purser.

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Rank Fights Part 3

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Rank Fights Part 3

Ok just one video this time around and in this battle I’m taking on another player that is slightly higher ranked than I am. Player is a 9^th scout and uses a team consisting of DeadPool, Dante and Hulk. Early on I was doing really well I managed to take out both Dante and Deadpool. In a quick twist of fate a red Hulk on x factor proved to be nearly fatal for me as my opponent was able to take both Ryu and Deadpool in just a few hits. Luckily with Dante I decided to block rather than try and attack when jumping in. After that I quickly activated x factor and executed the usual Dante combination of attacks for the win as my opponent left themselfs open when they tried to attack.

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Rank Fights Part 2

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Rank Fights Part 2

Looking back at this video it contained a decent set of matches. As usual I stick with my favourite team of characters which consist of Dante, Deadpool, and Ryu. The video contains three ranked fights two of which are against the same player. At the time going into the first fight I was on a win streak of two and by the end of the three matches I was on a streak of five. My first opponent on the video used a team of Wolverine, Dante and Zero. After the first match I was matched up with the same player this time he swapped out Dante and Zero for Taskmaster and Magneto. Finally my second opponent used a team of Ironman, Spiderman and Wolverine. I have to say that I enjoyed all three matches and not to mention each match had a decent finish. As usual I put the hyper combos to decent use, which help a lot in wining these fights.   

MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3 RANKED MATCH PART 3

In these next set of fights I continue my win streak. In the first match its all most a mirror match as both me and my opponent use the same characters apart from I was Ryu and my opponent was using Akuma. In first fight we both lose Deadpool and then go on to lose Dante. Finally comes down to Ryu and Akuma. My opponent leaves himself open during his first attack which causes them to lose a lot of health after I unleash Ryu’s Hyper Combo attack. After that it pretty much goes further downhill for my opponent from there. The second match is against the same opponent and it starts off well for me as I was able to take down two of his characters. They fight back till once again we are both down to Ryu and Akuma this time it’s a battle of Hyper Combos I manage to get the upper hand and unleash two Hyper combos for the win. The third match in this video is against the same person this time they manage to get the upper hand beat me. I do rank up in this fight which is good even If I did lose.  The final match is against a different player and there isn’t much to say about this one all my characters survive and it was a pretty easy fight compared to the previous fights on this video.

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Player Fights Part 1

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Player Fights Part 1

Here with more Marvel Vs Capcom 3 online matches. These videos are of player matches I've had from the time I got the game. Still sticking with the team of Dante, Deadpool and Ryu. After playing a number of player matches the game is very enjoyable online at the moment, but at the same time I find that if you ever wanted to try and take this game more seriously you’d be hard pushed to do so. The game is very accessible for newcomers requiring minimal effort to pull off something that looks pretty cool and pretty punishing.

Anyway these were my first few player matches and they pretty enjoyable and funny as you can hear the other player swear and complain about everything. Not to mention saying other random things such as zero frame block?????? All of a sudden they have become a pro…………

WARNING: Video contains some swearing thoughout parts of both videos from the other player over XBOXLIVE. pretty funny though.

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Rank Fights Part 1

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Rank Fights Part 1

Marvel Vs Capcom 3 has been released and it brings all sorts of insane fighting styles. Once again you can team up Ryu, Wolverine and whoever else takes your fancy and go up against some of the world’s greatest super heroes and villains.

The game does play a little differently compared to the last Marvel Vs Capcom game. It’s a little more accessible than the last game to new comers, but still uses a four button layout with two additional assist buttons. In the previous game you had two weak buttons and two heavy buttons with medium only being pulled off with two presses of the weak punch button. In Marvel Vs Capcom 3 you have one light, one medium, one heavy attack and one special button, which will also act as the launcher to send your opponents into the air for some air combo action.

The roster has also been sizably reduced getting rid of clone characters and ones that are less known. But the game still boasts a roster of 30 plus characters with possibly even more to come.

Moving on the videos show first few rank fights I've had so far. I've been playing a number of player matches compared to rank matches. Mainly because the quick match option doesn’t get me much result apart from failed to join or some other connection issue, however simple turning on fight request in either training or arcade mode and waiting for a challenge to be found while playing netted better results. The first video contains my first three matches.

The first and second fight did contain some lag which was unfortunate but didn’t last long so the match was enjoyable. I stick with the team of Ryu, Deadpool, and Dante and so far they have worked out pretty well for me. Standard combos are pretty simple to pull off with the characters especially Dante’s combos, which can be very pushing and flashy to look at. At the moment a lot of people are new to the Marvel Vs Capcom so there aren’t many skilful players yet, but ones I've come up against so far are doing a lot more than I am.

MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3 RANKED MATCH PART 1

Second video is a short one and only contains one match. We both use Dante as one of our characters in this match, which is always interesting to see how another player uses a character that’s the same as yours. This person also uses Chun-li and X-23 who both can be quite punishing Anyway it’s another decent beginner much for me and hopefully my skill will improve as time goes.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Manhunt Mayhem Part 3

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Manhunt Mayhem Part 3

Once again one of my early matches which was far from decent. In the first round spent a lot of time running around and didn’t have much of a chance to hide. Second round didn’t go so well got a few kills but spent most of my time being stunned and not sticking with any of my other teammates, which was my biggest mistake. Sticking together as a team is the most important thing in these team based modes. Anyway this was properly one of worst matches in Manhunt and there wasn’t much excitement over the two rounds.

ASSASSIN'S CREED BROTHERHOOD - MANHUNT (ONLINE MATCH)PART 5

Now I do a lot better in this match then I did in my last. I start off hiding as always and get off to a decent start. I’m equipped with the morph and smoke bomb abilities and I hide amongst a group close to where I spawn and I activate the morph ability. One of my pursuers ends up killing a number of civilians before they finally kill me for the first time. I managed to spend a lot of time blending in with stationary groups in the first round. In the second round my team pretty much dominates the other team, which to be fair was pretty one sided since for most of this match it was four against two, but 2 other players do join in later to even things out. I manage to get the overachiever achievement in this match which is a great bonus.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Manhunt Mayhem Part 2

Ok I haven’t updated this blog in some time so I thought I’d get back to putting my YouTube videos on the blog. I’ll start with transferring all the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Multiplayer matches first.

Looking back on this early match it was pretty ok. I stick to my favourite abilities the disguise and smoke bomb. These two abilities I still use today I find them to be the most useful of any of the abilities. Oddly enough I have the lose streak perk extra precision, which is pretty useless in Manhunt I think when watching this video. Anyway it was still one of my early matches not a lot of kills but my team still takes the lead and I place second in my team at the end.

ASSASSIN'S CREED BROTHERHOOD - MANHUNT (ONLINE MATCH)PART 3

Yeah not one of best matches I make ay to many mistakes I think in this match. In this match I spend the first round not doing much mostly blending in collecting fifteen points for few minutes. Again not too many kills and stuns too in this match. At points in the second round I do kill the wrong target. One notable kill mistake was when I was on the roof top I waited too long before pressing the ‘X’ button and I end killing a civilian. What I should have done was lock on to my target so that it wouldn’t of switched. Anyway I’m not perfect just trying to enjoy the game and you have to make few mistakes if you ever what to learn anything right?    

Oh there is also a pretty funny part towards the end as one of targets jumps in to a stack of hay and then me and my team all jump in to kill him. Of course only one of us can get the kill but that guy in the hay was raped.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - Manhunt Mayhem Part 1

Ok so this is my first post of my Assassin's Creed Brotherhood online matches. If you have read my review you’d already know that I prefer the team based modes. So it’s no surprise that my recordings are of my team matches, only both Alliance and Manhunt.You can check out my YouTube page for all my videos as usual but I’ll be embedding them here as well.

I’ll start with the Manhunt match videos first and then the Alliance match videos. Out of the two team based modes Manhunt is definitely my favourite. I’m still learning but there have been so many great moments that it’s hard to tear myself away from the multiplayer. Anyway the first three parts are listed below and if you haven’t seen them yet check them out now.

ASSASSIN'S CREED BROTHERHOOD - MANHUNT (ONLINE MATCH)PART 1

This was my first Manhunt match previously I was only playing Wanted till I got use to the game. After a few matches of Manhunt I much preferred it over the Wanted mode. The idea of taking turns being the Hunter and hunted is great as it really allows me to spend a lot of time perfecting both roles. Something which I find hard to do in Wanted as I’m playing both roles at the same time and found myself being killed a lot soon after killing my own target. After a while I was wishing that the time limit could be increased for each round but to be honest the strict five minute time limit is what works for this mode. Having longer time limits would drag on the matches to long and the maps them self’s aren’t the biggest and I found myself wondering around the same parts of most maps.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Multiplayer) Review

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Multiplayer) Review

Review: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Multiplayer)
Released: 19th November 2010 (UK) (Out Now)
Platforms: XBOX 360 Also: PS3, PC

I admit right now that I hardly had any interest in buying Brotherhood on day of release, mainly because I've bought the previous two and have yet to play them. So what makes Brotherhood different? It added a multiplayer component that interested me greatly after watching numerous beta videos of the multiplayer. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood multiplayer is pretty much the best and most addictive multiplayer I've played in ages and it’s not even a first or third person shooter. The thing about the multiplayer is its actually unique since there is nothing like it out there (I think) and it’s just one of many things it has going for it.

Manhunt game mode

Alliance game mode

There are four gameplay modes Wanted, Manhunt, Alliance and Advance Wanted with the last two unlocked after reaching a certain rank. The idea behind the multiplayer is the same across all four modes with slight variations with how things play out. Basically you are given a target to assassinate but you are also at the same time someone else’s target who they must assassinate. It’s like one big chain everyone has a target but everyone also has someone that is assigned to assassinate them. This basic idea goes for both Wanted and Advanced Wanted gameplay modes however Manhunt and Alliance change things slightly as they are both team based game modes. The idea is essentially the same it’s just that now you’re in teams. In Manhunt there are two teams of 4 and two rounds taking turns being the hunter and the hunted. In round one you are either the hunter or the hunted and in round two you switch. Now you can work together or go out on your own but of course this is a team based mode and the best results come from working as a team. I haven’t spent much time with the Alliance mode but it is a team based mode with three teams of two. Each team has an assigned target which is one of the other two teams. Out of the two team modes this is the harder version and if you don’t work as a team you will find yourself in third place throughout the match.

Blending with the crowd

Jumping out in the open isn't the best idea

The different modes really do encourage slightly differently playing styles and there are loads of things for you to do depending on whether you are hiding or trying to find your target. In Wanted and Advanced Wanted you want to find your target without giving away your whereabouts to both the target and the hunter assigned to assassinate you. You could climb up to rooftops which would help find and kill your target quicker, but also makes you more noticeable and easier for your hunter to kill you. You can also take the other approach and stay low, blend in with the crowed taking it slow but this takes time. The main difference between Wanted and Advanced Wanted is that the latter is a lot more difficult. What makes it difficult is the compass at the bottom of the screen which helps locate your target doesn’t give away their exact location. It only tells you if you are close to your target, but doesn’t indicate in which direction they are or whether they are higher up or lower down from your current location.

Smoke bombs work a treat

Profiles for every occasion

Each map contains a whole town of NPC characters wondering around. Each player can blend in with other NPC characters that look like the ones they are playing as. Talking of characters players can pick from a range of characters before starting each game. There isn’t much difference between the characters in terms of what they can do but they each have their own unique appearance and assassination animation. Players can pick from a range of characters such as Doctor, Blacksmith, and Soldier etc. One the things that I didn’t notice or realise at first is that some of the characters blend in better on some maps then they do on others, which in effect adds another layer strategy to the game. It’s not just blending in with the crowd and climbing rooftops the game gives players new abilities, perks and streak bonuses as they level up. So the more you play the more experience you get to level up and gain access to new stuff to help kill your targets and hide from your hunters. There are a range of things to unlock such as smoke bombs, throwing knifes to take out targets from a far and the ability to disguise yourself as another NPC character for a short period of time.

The controls for the multiplayer are also straight forward and easy to get use to, along with decent tutorial to walk you through the basics. “X” allows you to assassinate your targets while “B” allows you to stun those that are hunting you. You move your character with the left analogue stick pressing “A” allows your character to walk faster and climb. Holding “RT” causes your character to run, while holding “A” at the same time allows your character to run faster. When you unlock abilities you can assign and use them with the press of the “LB” or “RB” buttons. I've barely played any of the previous games and to be able to jump into the game without any trouble is fantastic.

Graphically the multiplayer looks great and with some great looking environments. There are a variety of maps to play on with each one very detailed and unique.

The good Doctor

Maybe it’s due to me inexperience or maybe it is because there are a lot players that are better than I am, but if there is one gripe I must pick with the multiplayer it is that as soon as I kill my target the person assigned to assassinate me is right there behind me ready to kill. It is something that I find happens frequently within the Wanted game mode. Apart from that I love the Manhunt and Alliance game modes. The blending in gameplay mechanic works a treat while trying to find your target and avoiding the person assigned to kill you. Add to this the use of abilities and perks, which create some great intense, satisfying and memorable moments.

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood Breakdown

GAMEPLAY

Tutorial makes it easy to learn how the multiplayer works and with straightforward controls. I find the multiplayer stands out amongst other games simply because there is nothing else quite like it.

GRAPHICS & PRESENTATION

The setting does this game justice it looks fantastic and is highly detailed. I have found myself looking at my surroundings during rounds, which I don’t recommend doing for a long period of time.

LONGEVITY

The multiplayer will last as long as you want it to. I could play it all everyday and I have since it came out. Some may not take to it but others will love it and come back to it for a very long time.

AUDIO

There isn’t much music playing during the multiplayer apart from on the menu screen and the high beating music that plays during a chase.

FINAL OPINION: MUST PLAY / REFRESHING MULTIPLAYER
