- DirectorSylvain BernardShea WagemanStarsRoger Craig SmithKristen BellNolan NorthDesmond Miles is trained to become a modern-day Assassin through the resurrected memories of ancestor Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who uncovers a massive Templar conspiracy in Renaissance Italy leading to the new Pope.Probably the biggest fan favorite, this game took the elements that were good from the first one, and added the elements the series needed. A better story for both the assassins and our modern hero made the game remarkable and a best seller. The open world just felt well more open. You could upgrade, buy weapons, and the people of the renaissance didn't feel like rag dolls just walking by.
- StarsKristen BellPhilip ShahbazNolan NorthA man enters a machine called the Animus that lets him relive the memories of his ancestor, a 12th century assassin named Altair.I wasn't a fan when this game was released. I thought the entire mechanic of the game was a clunky mess. I didn't feel like i was playing an assassin. Actually it felt more like i was running around like a knight. What ubisoft nailed was the parkour of the game, something they had done previously with prince of persia, and something later games like Uncharted and Arkham Asylum would be heavily inspired by. I replayed the game this year, and its not so bad actually. What saves it is not the stealth mechanic (Which lets face it has never been this series strongest side), but rather the story and the open world itself. Remember when i said it wasn't so open? Well by that i meant the interactivity. Besides collecting feathers and rescuing maidens, the game didnt do much else on the front. But riding through the middle eastern desert, hunting down templars. It was satisfying.
- DirectorSylvain BernardStarsRoger Craig SmithKristen BellNolan NorthDesmond Miles continues to travel the memories of Ezio Auditore, bringing him to turn-of-the-century Rome with Ezio rebuilding the assassin order to bring down the tyrannical Borgia rule.Now this is how you do a spinoff. Brotherhood built upon the established universe of Assassins creed II, but gave us what we really wanted from a spinoff, more stuff to do in that game. I agree that this would be much better as an expansion to assassins creed II, but i had a lot of fun.
- DirectorFrançois DaubetShea WagemanStarsNoah WattsNeil NapierRobin Atkin DownesThe American Colonies, 1775. It's a time of civil unrest and political upheaval in the Americas. As a Native American fights to protect his land and his people, he will ignite the flames of a young nation's revolution.This one disappointed me massively, but damn does it start off good. We immedietaly know from the first cutscene that a lot is at stake. And i was simply thrilled when i first got to control Haytham Kenway. The character was awesome, Sarcastic and witty, but yet with some sort of heart. Then after two hours of really getting to know the character, he is thrown away for his son Connor who is the actual main character. How is Connor? Well he's boring. Complaining and grumpy throughout the game (And i know this is to be expected, the guy lost his mother to the templars), but did ubisoft have to make our character so unlikable?
The story didn't flow well either. Its all nice and dandy to take part in the american revolution, but what you want to take part in, isn't actually yours to take part in. The battle of gettysburg? How about Connor moving behind the soldiers, to assasinate some unimportant british coronel, with the really old and tired stealth mechanics of the series? Yay! Just what i wanted. That being said though, assassins creed III did build on what ubisoft established in the second game. The interactivity of the world. A big + for that.
And let me just add that the Ship gamemode, where you steer a ship through dangerous missions like a pirate is one of the best ship simulators i have ever played. No wonder Ubisoft jumped away from assassins creed III to Assassins Creed IV. It was simply awesome to be able to control a real ship like that. Smooth controls and great mechanics. - DirectorAlexandre AmancioStarsRoger Craig SmithCas AnvarNolan NorthEzio travels to Constantinople, at the peak of the Ottoman Empire to discover the truth behind his Ancestor, Altair, which will help him retrieve a powerful weapon hidden within Masyaf, the ancient assassins' fortress.Meh. This is that spinoff game which every series has. Play the hero in a story that doesn't really affect the main story of the series. Travel through a brown and boring open world. Do the thing that all assassins do: Kill people like a loud soldier. Thats the assassins way. Im going to be honest here, i never finished Revelations, so feel free to get angry at me. I just didn't like it that much.
