Ezio, the legendary Master Assassin, returns in his bid to topple the Templar Order. What originally seemed billed as an expansion to the critically acclaimed “Assassin’s Creed II” is actually a full-fledged sequel that offers tons of new features, many hours of gameplay and deeply delves into the formation of the Order of Assassins. “Brotherhood” begins immediately after “ACII.” Ezio makes his way back to his hometown, which is later attacked by the army of the evil Borgia family, and his uncle — who somewhat trained him as an assassin — is killed. From there, Ezio heads to Rome and slowly rebuilds the Order of Assassins while dismantling the Borgias’ control of the city.
The general gameplay hasn’t seen that many changes, though fighting has gotten a tiny overhaul. There is, again, a strong mix of story-driven missions and side quests. Also, there are tons of collectible items for those completionists out there.
