Brotherhood was a great game, but it could have just as easily been released as DLC. And even if ezio is awesome, UBISOFT seems to be missing the most obvious choice for assassins creed 3, ninjas. they could have just as easily set it in japan, because everyone would rather have them make ninjas then more italians.
Brotherhood is amazing. Frankly, I don't understand why people call it DLC at all. It's huge, immersive, incredibly detailed, and the story sucks you in immediately. And what's with everyone complaining that it's in Rome?
"We could have been in [insert any place here] but instead Ubisoft dumped us back in Italy!"
Whether it's in Italy or not, it's a great game. And Ubisoft didn't call it ACIII, they called it AC:B, for a reason -- it's a continuation of Ezio's story. They've pretty much stated that ACIII will be in another historical setting, so what's the problem here?

Sounds like Yahtzee liked it-- as much as he tends to be willing to admit.
It would be nice to see a few 'positive' reviews for a change, though. I wonder if he's avoiding that because he doesn't think they're funny, or because there just haven't been many great games deserving of one?
At any rate, this was an excellent episode. I'm going to go ahead and say right now, I hope he reviews Skyward Sword after it comes out. That ought to be a fun review. But then, who knows?

The only thing I know of is a brief cameo in Jim Carrey's Yes Man, since it was (very loosely) based on a book by Danny Wallace. He co-wrote 'Are You Dave Gorman?', in which he and his flatmate set out to find 52 people in the world called Dave Gorman. He wrote 'Yes Man', in which he decided to say yes to everything for a month or so. He also started his own country once, and on a different occasion started a cult by accident (which he later dedicated to doing good deeds). As lives go, he seems to have had an interesting one.AssassinJoe said:

It just doesn't seem right for him.
hmmmm maybe i buy this when its in the bargin bin. or when it gets the "Greatest Hits" stamp for the PS3.
Agian, I disagree. Yes the gameplay is more like 2 than 2 was like one, but it didn't feel rushed, despite me expecting it to. You keep suggesting you were ripped off paying for two games instead of one, but these are long games, taking me weeks to play properly. I would both say worth the money I payed for them. And I'm not a sucker (though still fumming over force unleashed 2)Some Random Tosser said:
I'll be waiting for a price drop to pick this up. My only concern is that by then, the multiplayer will be dead as a doornail. Which effectively kills half the value of the game. I think that is what is starting to annoy me most about games these days with a MP aspect. Most of the MP do not have the staying power to make the game a worthwhile investment. After 3 months, it's more or less dead and everyone has moved on to another game.
screw ninjas. it wouldn't make any sense. since the story is about desmonds ancestors and they originated in the middle east, moving west. also NONE of the references for later events(templar hitler, edison etc) mentions any eastern activities with the pieces of eden.brainslurper said:
The closest we have on that account is gandhi or russia. Also templars never had much influence in the eastern paths, which would lead to a lack of enemies for the assassins.
Haha, when I saw Shaun the first two people I thought of were Yahtzee and one of those watcher guys from Buffy. I didn't really watch the show so I'm not sure which one, I think there were two.
Erm, anyway. I still plan on getting the game when I get my ps3 fixed. It definitely looks nice and MP might be a nice distraction since I rarely play it on any game. I really hope ACIII will be with another new historical figure. Altair and Ezio both had their likeable and unlikeable qualities about them, and a new character would be fresh and exciting since Desmond is technically all of them.

Have to agree with Yahtzee on this one, most of the game felt DLC-ish. But equally was a good game.
That being said, I loved the minions, multiplayer is unique and the ending was a complete mind fuck. All welcome additions.
Great review and I loved the Shaun comparison!
