Why is everyone commenting on the voice? I think mods just need to take out comment adding to Zero Punctuation because no one add's anything, "that was a nice review" "not as funny as this one" fucking stupid.

OT: I really liked this game, I ignored most the side missions, climbed every tower, got the badass armor a little less than half way through the game and the glyphs were really fun/Challenging, I'm suprised you didn't say anything about those. However for the last boss...

I got to head butt the fucking Pope, THE FUCKING POPE, that in my oppinion is aweome.

I'm also suprised you didn't mention the giant religious spin in the last 5 minutes, that was one of my main complaints.

However I will happily sit out assassins creed w/e number it is when they focus on the story out of the animus for I hate Desmond.
But thats the main story, and in the secound one they did pretty good on it I think, they went more in depth with it and it wasn't like "hey this storyline is still here too." Although I did think Ezio's story was more interesting and they didn't intervene too much with the present time I think they could build off of it pretty well, as long as they don't screw it up.

At first I thought it wasn't even him. Like that time when the Unskippable guy did a guest ZP review.

Anyway, interesting review. I'm actually anxious to play that one (waiting for the PC version, stupid delays!), I thought AC1 was a brilliant game in theory, just not all that well executed.

Well you guys all like to complain don't you. Your all making a big deal out of nothing, come on guys seriously. Who actually cares about about the voice, its only a tad deeper.

It was a great review, the best I have seen from him in a while. But nothing can top his earlier work.

Even after maxing out the casa, having money (for me) is nice; because of my OCD I feel the need to dye the Assassin's robes a different color every hour. I don't know...

Woot, I'm glad I'm not the only one a bit irked about the utterly disapointing final boss fight wherein you beat down the Rennaissance ancestor of Drew Carry and Charles Manson.

Another terrific point he made was Da Vinci's flying machine. Basically half the fucking hype revolved around being able to use it and you do that once.
Da Vinci could have made you a jetpack variant or something to use in other areas after jumping off towers, maybe using chimneys as heat sources rather than bonfires.

Meh, it's still a good game and one of Yahtzee's better reviews.

P.S. Why the fuck does everyone care so much that he sounds a bit different in this? It's still funny and it's still obviously him.

Blimey, Yahtzee has jumped the shark. I used to watch all of his movie two or three times and laugh throughout, but this one wasn't even chuckle-worthy. I think Wolfenstein was the last proper "funny" review, it was downhill from there.
In other news PC games are dying.

Yahtzee, I gota tell ya, I made this account JUST for the sake of asking you to please revert back to the normal mic. It's simply a lot better....

My guess is that it was someone else doing the first half.

Some kind of reference to Ezio and Desmond perhaps...

No really, I am totally questioning the credibility that the voice on this video was indeed Ben Croshaw.

I like the new mic, although sounds abit like theres too much foam cover on it. Still not gonna complain, felt like I discovered a really old ZP.

Well the chinese had been slowly floating gunpowder through the silk road for awhile at the 1500 year mark, so It's possible there might have been like a flint lock or something, if you , nevermind too much reasoning I that Ubi should have done.

Huh, his voice sounded a bit weird. Off that note though, the criticism in this review pretty much showed that what IS bad in the game is so arbitrarily small that it shouldn't hurt the overall experience. I loved the first game, and I'm excited to get this one for the upcoming holiday.

His voice does seem different...

Anyway, I think he pretty much summmed up my feelings.

Though, to be fair, did he expect the boss fight to be something out of Shadow Of The Colossus?

Oh, another thing, THERE WERE GUNS IN THE RENAISSANCE! Christ, that was one of the big military achievements in that time. If my history is correct, I'm pretty sure gun powder was invented in the 1300s. And seriously, from what everyone has told me, the gun is hard to aim, so it's not THAT much of an advantage.
