The series of Assassins Creed has brought a whole new feel of the renaissance era! ACR is the 4th volume added to this gaming series and it is quite fantastic! In the beginning of the game you start off with a cut scene. The graphics are magnificent! They look extremely realistic, and it took my breath away. All AC games have had good game play and graphics. During the beginning of the game you're already in the Animus chair the whole entire game but you end up in this place called Animus Island! Animus Island is a place where you have the main story lines, and separate missions called Desmond missions. Desmond has always been the main character of AC games. Once you arrive at Animus Island you don't know why, or how you ended up there. It's quite a mystery, but you're not alone on the island. You're joined by a friend and throughout the story he will explain things to you. Pieces of the puzzle will be put together and you'll soon understand. Moving on, you start ACR as Ezio once again but you're much older! When you begin the game you're traveling to a new "world" It's called Constinalope! You arrive on a boat with your new mate! (but you don't know that he's a friend yet) and a beautiful librarian! You all do not know each other yet but you will shortly. Once you arrive to the new city, Yusuf will begin to show you around! He takes you to the Assassins HQ, and you meet the new members. Once there you have a chance to examine your weapons, and armor you already have on. The weapons in this game are far different than AC: Brotherhood. They are more advanced and have more of a Indian design to it. One you wonder around the city and finish some missions for certain people you will begin your own journey. You have to find the Masyaf keys! The Masyaf keys are what brings flash backs to Altair's world. Altair is Ezio's father, and he is an elite assassin! Altair passed away a long time before Ezio was born, so Ezio never knew him but he must follow in the footsteps of being an assassin. A very important part happens in the game were you earn a hook blade. The hook blade allows you to jump long distance and grab onto something so you do not fall. It also allows you to kill enemies as well. Another advancement made to this game is fast travel, you can take a boat to the other side of the city, and there are zip lines to take you to one building to the other. Unfortunately there are no horses in this game which disappointed me greatly! Just a warning to people who like long games, ACR is not that much of a long game at all! It was pretty short, and the ending was a continuation so there is definitely going to be another AC game coming out! I am super excited, and I can't wait for what they have in store!
My overall rating for this game is a: 8
It's a must buy for lovers of AC!
