To me, one of the biggest question marks of the fall season hovers relentlessly around one title in particular: Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. The follow-up to last year’s critically and commercially successful Assassin’s Creed 2, Brotherhood worries me in part because it is coming so soon, but also because it seems more like an expansion than a proper new sequel, with all of the increased polish that helped benefit the second game from the first.
However, the occasional bits I see of the game actually keep my hopes up. Take for instance this new mission walkthrough trailer released by Ubisoft, where we get to see Ezio follow and interrogate an engineer of one of Leonardo’s war machines. It seems that a portion of the plot is going to center around Leonardo’s inventions, and we get to see a few of these war machines at the end of the video, including sea vessels and even battle tanks. Assassin’s Creed: Metal Gear?
What are your thoughts on the walkthrough? What is your level of excitement for Brotherhood?
eeeeeeeh, vehicles? I’m not really interested in that… I really hope this game works. I loved the first two so of course I’m going to give this a try, but My excitement is probably at a 5/10.
Man, I feel the exact opposite! This game looks great in my opinion. Still kind of on edge about it coming so soon after AC2, but according to the other GS staff members, I’ve all but married that game and ODST, so this is the perfect union.
