So, as perviously mentioned, totally had to go back and play through Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Not only did I feel as though I had missed some major plot points, but I also had heard it was a very good single player experience. Of course, I have to say I really enjoyed Assassin's Creed and its promising premise, and thoroughly enjoyed Assassin's Creed II, so this wasn't a particularly difficult sell.
First and foremost, Brotherhood is a worthy successor to ACII. They took a lot of what they learned there (great story telling, well paced incremental learning curve, city renovations, etc) and improved (flag maps, feather maps, additional side quests, and of course the titular brotherhood mechanic).
Yeah, great title, great experience.
Har, my only complaint is that some of its achievements are multiplayer-exclusive, a very difficult feat to obtain them when there are so few people left playing. Meh. I suppose that's what happens when you're late to the party!
