Review date: 11 January, 2012. Review by: Rob Beattie There are certain precautions that can be taken to avoid assassination. For starters, at the first whiff of a smoke bomb, leg it swiftly. And never stand with your back to a haystack – it's a favou...
New hookblade is much fun; deathmatch is a great new spin for multiplayer...
No real advance on Brotherhood in terms of the core mechanics.
Revelations stays very much in Brotherhood's comfort zone, while carrying over the same core mechanics and gameplay. Ezio's repertoire is livened up considerably with the introduction of bomb crafting and the hookblade, where the new city of Constantin...

Like the Assassin's Creed titles that came before it, Revelations is the most accessible stealth-action game on shelves right now, but can it lure gamers' wallets and stand shoulder to shoulder with its predecessors in one of the busiest Novembers in y...
The solid gameplay that has defined the series returns intact. Tense multiplayer.

Ezio takes his last bow with Assassin's Creed's latest. If you take Spider-Man out of New York, is he still a worthwhile superhero without that towering skyline to swing from? A similar question could be directed at Ezio Auditore da Firenze. If you tak...
Whereas Brotherhood’s new ideas felt essential to the experience Revelations’ feel of little consequence, and while Brotherhood felt like gaining dominance over a gameworld, Revelations feels more intent on just telling its story. It’s a very high sev...
