9/10
A pretty good AC game but not as good as AC 2

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is the follow up to the critically-acclaimed Assassin's Creed 2, this game, while having New features and better combat, isn't as good as the previous game in the series. Here's why this game is pretty good overall.

The story is basically AC 2's plot but With minor changes. Ezio lives a normal life i Monterigionni, until a bunch of Borgia soldiers destroy the town and the son of the villain in the last game Rodrigo has arrived, With the name of Cesare Borgia, he kills Ezio's uncle Mario and Ezio is shocked of what happened and must take revenge for the murder of his uncle, With help by familiar characters and some New ones.

The Modern day story follows Desmond, after escaping the Secret hideout in the last game With the others. They arrive at Monterrigioni and they decide to hide there, until they find Resources of the apple of Eden which they do in the end.

The gameplay is very similar to the last game but it's improved tenfold. Not only does it run smoother, but it Plays better. The parkour system is now much better than it was before, it is faster and smoother. The open world is better too. Rome is a huge world to explore and there is a lot of sidequests to do, from doing assassination missions and more.

The game's newest feature is the Brotherhood Assist System, With this feature, you can use Your trained recruits to kill off a horde of bad guys or silently kill a bad guy to avoid getting alerted in a stealth mission. I like this feature but it seems to make the game a bit too easy IMO.

The combat is improved too, With the Killstreak system being very useful for combat. The weapons are better, the kills are more brutal and the enemies are harder to kill, the combat is great. The Full Synchronization meter is probably the worst part of the game for me, and here is where the problems lie.

It makes the game way too hard and if you fail the second objective, you can't just restart a checkpoint, you have to start the mission all over again, what a bunch of baloney.

The game's ending is a bit tedious since it's a cliffhanger, OK, so there's a goddess who has Control of the Apple of eden who tells Desmond that Lucy is a Templar and then the goddess manipulates Desmond to kill Lucy and the game ends. Pretty rushed but not bad ending.

The game's story is bland and a derivative, revenge, world domination, Family member, plans, sounds familiar am i right. That's what makes the story lacking.

The Music is pretty good but not as good as AC2's soundtrack which was amazing. The Music in this game is forgettable and sounds like a Pirates of the Caribbean Movie.

The multiplayer, which is New to AC, is one of the game's strengths. It's fun, fast and very challenging, there's many modes to choose from and the best one is the Deathmatch mode (i like to Call the mode that), where you have to find the target that is shown on the screen and kill him without being killed by others. The multiplayer is jolly good fun which makes the game better.

AC Brotherhood is great game With a lot of sidequests, great open world, characters, Assassin recruits are useful and the game's combat is the best in any AC game, the story, Full synchronization meter, ending and Music is not that good and the Multiplayer is Awesome!!!. Check the game out, it's not that bad.
