I’m an UbiChamp which means I get special invitations to review upcoming games from Ubisoft. This past weekend we received Assassin’s Creed:Revelations.
Assassin’s Creed takes place in the Renaissance Era which I thought would be a perfect fit for our oldest daughter to try out. While it is a fighting game I felt it had a different feel to it so we used her as our official game reviewer.
From Sabreena:
Last week, we received Assassin’s Creed Revelations from the wonderful people at Ubisoft. I had heard about the Assassin’s Creed series mostly from the Literal Trailers made by Toby Turner but I had never played them or seen them played so I wasn’t sure what to expect. When I started playing on Friday night I was shocked by how different it was than what I had originally anticipated. Before the night, I had never used an Xbox in my entire life and I had no idea what I was doing. I had to pause the game every time a new action was introduced to look at the controller and figure out which buttons to hit. The part of the game that gave me the most trouble was the climbing. It took me about 15 minutes to figure out how to jump to the next platform, climb higher and go around the building. But once I had passed that point in the game I turned it off for the day and didn’t come back to it until Saturday evening. By this point I had passed the first level of the game and had gotten to the real fun, assassinating people. But I wasn’t doing it in the way I thought I would. I was mostly killing guards and Templars not important political figures like I had expected. I went on missions and unlocked new weapons and armor. I stole money, medicine and bomb materials from the bodies of guards and Templars I had killed, all while being harassed by civilian who told me that I was going to hell for disturbing the dead. I wasn’t sure why they thought I cared when I had clearly just murdered several people in broad day light in front of dozens of witnesses. I’m hoping I can squeeze in some more time to play Assassin’s Creed, I’d like to see how the game develops.
