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...

Does familiarity always breed contempt? Possibly not, but it can definitely be difficult to get overly excited about something that feels too familiar. As the third game of the Assassin’s Creed “Ezio trilogy” Revelations was always going to have to wa...

The Assassin's Creed franchise has built up quite a name for itself, and rightfully so. The series has always taken gamers to places they've never been before, and introduced them to characters quite unlike any others. But while the story and multiplay...

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.
New features are almost universally underwhelming: hookblade, ziplines, bombs, Altair missions, the list goes on.

Assassins Creed. Yes, its a huge big fat hairy deal. Both previous games have been massive titles, and from the looks of the opening credits, Ubisoft have thrown enormous resources from what seems like every studio they own globally at putting Assass...

When it became clear last year that Assassin’s Creed was going to be a yearly franchise, fans reacted with equal parts excitement and unease. Assassin’s Creed games are sprawling, open-world epics that follow a history-spanning, conspiracy-laden plot a...

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...

Assassins Creed Revelations was released in October 2011, and sold well in the extremely competitive pre-Christmas mega title market, and generally rated pretty well with the critics too. See our review here ...we quite liked it.A new DLC pack - Medit...

It's been quite a success story for Ubisoft since the release of 2007's Assassin's Creed. The franchise, which tied in nicely to the twin zeitgeists of parkour (freerunning) and Dan Brown-esque biblical conspiracy theories, not only baited the hooks well...

While Revelations is by far the fullest and most complex entry in the Assassin’s Creed series, most of the changes it makes over Brotherhood are largely unnecessary. You have more options than ever before but all of the substance is still in the story...

Fans of this game, you will do yourself a favor by picking it up. That said, if you want to get into the details, Revelations is the worst entry in the franchise since the original Assassin’s Creed. Don’t mistake this for a bad review--far from it. St...
