Now Playing: Video Review - Assassin's Creed: RevelationsĮxpectedly, Revelations isn't all Ezio's story. Thankfully, when Revelations remembers to be an Assassin's Creed game, it soars into the Turkish skies, reminding fans why they fell in love with this freewheeling series.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's Assassin's Creed: Revelations is sometimes a lumpy Frankenstein's monster of a game, half-formed appendages stitched into place regardless of whether they belong there or not. Like many sequels, Revelations giveth, and Revelations taketh away, so you lose certain elements (horses) in favor of a slew of new ones (bomb crafting). Additions to the movement mechanics make exploring the city a joyous exercise in high-flying parkour, with you as Ezio leaping across rooftops and flinging yourself up exterior walls like a Renaissance superhero. This is another quality entry in a quality series, and it unleashes you in a visually stunning re-creation of 16th-century Constantinople. And so it goes for Ezio Auditore di Firenze, who finally steps aside to make room for new champions in Assassin's Creed: Revelations.
Even the greatest heroes can't live forever.
