Assasins Creed Brotherhood Quick Look

Did you see the amount of tasks on that map after 11 hours of gametime wtf.

Combat is still the same old **** but I enjoyed AC2 anyway.
 
Looking forward to it, don't really care about the multiplayer all that much as all I want is the story. But I imagine it will be a good mess around for a few hours. But I'm not too optimistic about the multiplayer.

But the singleplayer I am very positive about, they seem to have fixed a few minor issues and added in some more excellent additions. In regards to combat though, some reviews state it is fixed others say its still broken. So it looks like its going to be a case of either love it or hate it.
 
The combat has never really bothered me, since I play the game as a platformer with combat like I did with Prince of Persia.
 
I thought they'd changed it this time so multiple ones attack at a time and the combat is more about flow.

They said that for AC2 and all you did was one hit counter kills over and over. Shouldn't expect anymore from ubisoft with these games PoP games are the same. Dire combat but great platformers.

I will wait to see how many hours it takes to comlete before deciding whether to rent or buy.
 
Review up on Gametrailers. Looks like a pretty good game tbh and the multiplayer looks interesting. Looking forward to Friday :D

Hmmm watching that review not sure I will bother at all tbh.

MP looks ****.
Combat is the same but easier.
Same old counter kills.
Gfx pop in looks awful and they say the framerate is all over.
Repeating the same mission types over and over.

On the plus side they have atleast whacked it in one city this time instead of making you travel to another city to do the same stuff anyway.

Hiring a bunch of helpers looks decent enough.
 
Played the multiplayer beta for this and while at times it could be really awesome, it could also be really, really frustrating. We only got to test two of the modes as well. I'm mainly getting it for the single player anyway.

Ah well, my copy was despatched last night so hopefully should get it soon :).
 
Got my copy this morning as well...so will give it a bash later on....absolutely loved the previous AC's...despite the shoddy combat, i still thought it was pretty decent.
 
10/10 on Eurogamer. I never got into the 1st AC so I'll be waiting for more reviews!

91/100 on metacritic, one of the highest scoring games on PS3!

Never managed to get into the first AC but I've got a copy of AC2 winging it's way to me soon so I'm going to have a bash at that, then if I enjoy it pick up this. Looks cracking fun.
 
Combat has never been it's strong point though :p They out number you 10-1 and they attack 1 at a time.

Batman AA did this and it worked perfect for that game. If they all attacked you at once, then you'd be dead. There has to be some sort of balance to make it work. Lame but i can't think of any other way of doing it.
