Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

eurogamer.net review
It's one of many finishing touches to a game that started life as what sounded suspiciously like a fund-raising stopgap conceived on the back of an overdrawn chequebook and blurted out during a conference call. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is anything but that, however – it's one of the best games of 2010.

Brotherhood lacks that generational leap we saw from Assassin’s Creed to Assassin’s Creed II, but it more than makes up for that with a full-bodied single-player experience teeming with interesting gameplay additions and a risky multiplayer component. Even more surprising than the single-player experience is the addition of a competitive multiplayer game that, through some downright acrobatic contrivances, manages to make the cat-and-mouse core of the single-player work with live opponents. For fans of the series Brotherhood is no optional sidebar; this is as significant an entry as either of its predecessors. It’s also about as fun as Assassin’s Creed has ever been

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood also includes multiplayer for the first time in the series' history. The public servers aren't up in time to properly evaluate them for this review, but the sessions we played before the game's release were quite fun. Most of the modes have players all tracking each other through levels filled with NPCs. And since each player looks like a common NPC, it can be tricky to tell who is and who isn't an assassin. Having multiple assassins in a level all trying to kill each other without looking like assassins really tests your hunting and hiding skills to the limit. The single player portion of the game is still the main attraction, but multiplayer is a nice bonus.

It seemed to be an impossible task for Ubisoft to turn around a year after the release of Assassin’s Creed II and deliver such a polished follow-up to a game that many critics were calling one of 2009’s best titles. Yet, against all odds, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood exists in 2010, and it not only lives up to the hype, but it manages to completely outclass its predecessor. Brotherhood is a game that Assassin’s Creed fans simply cannot afford to miss, and one of best games this year.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is about as far from being a cynical quick-fix cash cow as you can get. It's every bit as detailed, beautiful and sublime as its predecessor, but with the added bonus of multiplayer, which in itself is effortlessly compulsive and huge fun. If multiplayer isn’t your bag though, Brotherhood still has a typically expansive Assassin’s Creed single player experience to get your claws into, with plenty of new mechanics, toys and tools of the trade – the crossbow for instance – to make life as a master assassin as rewarding as it’s ever been.
