Okay so if you've read my review of Assassin's Creed I concluded it wanted to be a triple A game but didn't have the budget for it. Assassin's Creed 2 clearly had the budget because they went for AAA status and earn it. Ezio's costume compared to Altair's is analogous to the first and second games. Where Altair's costume is very plain and functional, Ezio's has all the frills and detail, plus MORE BLADES. There's no…
*As I'm writing this review I've played AC2 , Brotherhood , Revelations * Loved this game, great premise and interesting gameplay. When I heard 'parkour in the 12th century' it seemed odd, surely there weren't that many big buildings? Is this just a developer capitalising on a current trend? Well yes a bit, but it works well and doesn't seem out of place. The castles and villages lend themselves well to this style…
Okay this game would have been a 4 star but I removed 1 star for a glaring bug. There were several points in the game where if I was in cover Max would get stuck and remain in cover unable to move at all until the bad guys shot him,. I had to restart the checkpoint many times. The fact this kept happening after cut scenes make me think this could have easily been picked up. I am sick of games getting away with…
Everyone is going nuts about this game and I have no idea why. After playing it I thought to myself, what is all the fuss. I will more than likely be dismissed by those who loved this game as a phlistine for not appreciating the game as art or some other reason. Here's the thing though, you are looking for a game as art and finding it here but missing something entirely. While this is a beautiful game it is actually…
A little surprising gem to me, I wouldn't have even picked up this game if it wasn't for a quick look on giant bomb. It's not great but it's very enjoyable, there's a lot of influences on show here. Metal Gear Solid series stands out with allusions in the philosophical storyline on genes, memes, AI life etc and definitely in the boss fights. Other allusions to past games were there too but one time where this failed…
So let's start off by addressing the hype for this game, it's a major factor. Some say the massive hype means a lot of people are setting expectations too high for this game, 5 years is a long time though and this game deserves to be judged on the amount of the development time and opportunity it was given. In that respect, it is not good. The game is massively detailed but in all the wrong places, -1000+ cars when…
