where do i start......an absolutely great game, some of the best graphics I've ever seen. some of the cinematic videos are as if its real footage shot with real people. from start to finish it is a masterpiece. we follow Ezio Auditore through his never ending quest for more knowledge of the past and Altair Ibn-La'Ahad. the main objective of the story lies in finding 5 keys to open Altair's library. we are taken on infamous "dungeon" sequences much like the Lairs of Romulus or Assassin's Tombs, these epic excavations take you on wild rides such as journey through damp caves and fantastic chases alongside rivers.
After finding each key we are taken back to relive memory's of Altairs life and realise the similarity's between Ezio and Altair and the differences. we also have a helping hand to find these keys, Sophia who helps Ezio decode and locate books that give clues to the ware abouts of the keys.
we also have a new arson of weapons including bombs and a quite handy hook blade which not only helps with climbing and grasping and using zip lines but also gives us new fighting moves with "hook and run" to "counter steal". There are lots of diff rent combinations of bombs to be made from your simple smoke bomb, to cherry scented bombs to distract, to deadly trip wires (like a mine) to splinter bombs and other deadly bombs.
There is also a new button lay out that makes it easier to choose and use your secondary weapons and your primary weapon. making it much simpler and quicker.
As in the previous assassins creed we find are selves with parts of the city to take back from the Templar's. but not only do you have to try and catch those shy den leaders, but whilst your away following the story you can find that one of your dens is under Templar attack and you have to go and defend it. here you control other assassins located on the room top and place barricades on the floor to help defend the den. This all stops once the assassin that you place in charge of the den becomes a master assassin and defends it from any Templar attack.
there are also new incomes. a new book shop on the street and also on the assassins missions in the Mediterranean there are missions that gain you an income from that country and also experience and ingredients for your bombs.
all in all a brilliant game-
