Brotherhood is a direct continuation of the events of Assassin's Creed II, only with the action shifting almost entirely to Rome. Like previous titles, there's also a modern-day component. The game is once again framed by the on-going battle between the Templars and Assassins, and players are actually assuming the role of Desmond, who lives in the present day and is able to experience the memories of his ancestor Ezio using a device called the animus. The game cuts between the two time periods but the bulk of the gameplay occurs in Renaissance Rome. Forget being the guy who runs the fastest and racks up the most kills – Brotherhood rewards being a true assassin. Players are awarded points on a sliding scale, so an overt kill will net a whole lot less than a stealthy assassination while hidden. In this multiplayer contest it's the gamers who learn to be patient that will ultimately prevail. Plus, the ranking system means that the contests continue to evolve as you play.Read full review
A lot of people say there's not much to do cause it's basically an expansion, but there's a TON to do in this game. If you do it all it will take you a while to fully beat the game. The graphics, sound, and storyline were all great. The best thing for me was the ability to train my own set of assassins that could help me or do missions! There's some really stupid quests where you can't be seen, so even if someone sees you and you instantly kill him you still fail. There's also still (from the previous 2 games) some problems climbing. It's been improved, but not near as fluid as Uncharted 2's climbing system. If you've played the first or 2nd one, get this one. You won't be disappointed. If you've never played the series before then you should start with 1 or 2 THEN get this one. I give it a B+Read full review
First of all I have bought this product from eBay because it is much cheaper than it is sold in my country. Also I am a huge fan of the Assassin’s Creed franchise and I have played all of them from PSP to PS3. Things I dislike about ACB which needs to improve on. 1.)Missions that require you to be completed without being detected (which result in mission failure if detected) 2.)Following Missions, another mission which requires you to not be detected or else results in mission failure. Chasing which is similar to following is tedious do to radius problems between you and the target. A lot of the time you will fail the mission do to being a few feet from your target although you can clearly see him in your sight. 3.)Targeting system for firing crossbow, musket pistol, or any other kind of weapon is not very good and can either help you or screw you over. Most of the time when they're are more then 5 enemies on screen it wont know who to target. 4.)Platforming is still clunky and sometime unresponsive(a grapple hook would also come in handy in the next game) 5.)Random Enemy spawning during missions 6.)Horses are somewhat useless and don't feel like your riding a horse most of the time. They don't have any speed and all feel the same. Some of these ruin the game and make the game seem longer since you will have to replay a lot of memories over and over again. But other then that the game is great and I had fun with it but the next game with is going to be Assassins Creed: Revelations needs to work on some of these things and improve on them.Read full review
I guess my definition of CIB is different from most. When it says COMPLETE, I would everything all pieces of paper/artwork/codes. Some people are more collectors. I love the game. It's very fun. Hours of content and challenges.

I decided to get this game based on my brother hassling me for weeks. I have to say, he was right. It's very addicting, when I get to play it. My wife plays it mostly. We love the fact that it has a great story line yet you can free roam. The controls take a little getting used to, especially after playing COD-Black Ops. Nice graphics, timing is good on the speech. The gameplay is really smooth and easy to follow. Overall, I'd give it at least 8/9 out of 10.
