This game is truly a gem, It captures what it must have felt like to live during those times as an Assassin.

I have played all three Assassins Creeds, and I can tell you that I am highly familiar with with the series. Assassins Creed 2 got me hooked and brotherhood was even better. You have so many customization options, from additions to your armor, different weapons, and of course a bad ass crossbow. The story is and ends with another mystical and interesting ending you have to see for yourself. The Economy in this game is much more useful than in the first, you can buy properties, construct buildings and just do a tone of things with the income. Also Assassin recruitment is very fun, you truly do feel like your part of an elite organization, you get a sense of being part of an elite brotherhood with the people you recruit, as you watch them start off as recruits and graduate to the final rank of assassin. The combat system in this game has been improved drastically, its smooth and quick, it takes skill to dodge attacks properly and you wont be there all day trying to kill one person as you can easily switch from target to target. Overall if your thinking about getting this game, get it and if your an achievement hunter like I am, you will actually enjoy unlocking all items in the game and collecting the achievements for it. I'm currently working on the multi player achievement where you have to reach rank 50(currently at 44) doesn't take to long and its fun online.
