Ubisoft managed to create a much better portable Assassin's Creed game this time. Even though it's a bit rough (bad A.I., the same repetitive mission grind of AC, the out-of-character boss battles, the approximately five-hour length), Bloodlines is saved by its generally solid adherence to the Assassin's Creed formula. Using the hidden blade to brutally counter some Templar makes up for silly boss fights and lame levels -- plus you also get some decent swords for Ezio's villa.
John of GAMElitist.com - "Hasn’t it gotten old by this point? I feel like the story never moves forward because Desmond is perpetually trapped inside of that damn Animus."
the first game by itself got super old super quick, then assassins creed 2 was pretty dang good and they fixed everything, then brother hood was just AC2 with 2 more weapons, then revalations, seems more of the same but i didn't get to try it myself yet
The story is what the game is about. If you don't like it then that's why it has gotten boring.
The story is absolute garbage. The pace at which it advance is so slow that I totally forgot what it was all about.
They just need to finish the current story arch in 2012 then either take a break or start something fresh with a new story.

Hopefully by that time the next generation is here and they make a new IP, leaving Assassin's Creed on the side for a while. Maybe even for an entire generation. It's a great franchise, but Ubisoft hurt it by making it a yearly release.
That's really my only complaint, it's taken this many games to even get where we are I wanna know how it ends already.
I'm still working my way through Revelations (way too many games to play actively right now) but I'm having a blast.
I will say they missed on some new mechanics (bad tower defense) but the story is still aces and I'm enjoying it a lot
It got old half way through the first game for me. Haven't gone back to it yet. I am sure it is a good game but for me... it was more of the same thing as I played through it.
Last week Tecmo Koei Europe revealed that a new sale on their PlayStation Network line-up would be launching soon. A generous share of titles reduced significantly would surely be welcomed by the publisher’s fans, however Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has now confirmed that the “PSP Power Sale” will be going much further, offering over one hundred titles in total at a reduced price.
Hope this sale shows up in the US. I would like to have plenty of titles to throw on my Vita.
A new diorama based on the forthcoming Assassin’s Creed: Revelations has been revealed, set to launch throughout Europe shortly after the game itself. This highly detailed and hand-crafted statuette depicts Ezio Auditore da Firenze in a combative stance as he is about to commit murder.
The pose looks so stiff. I'd think that if I were an assassin, I'd probably be twisting my body as I'm about to stab someone with the blade, but here he's just kinda...not.
0 comments? That's when I know no one cares about PSP games. Wasn't everyone b*tching how PSP has no games? Out comes a good one and no interest at all. For shame.
I will get AC for the PS3 and LBP for the PSP... it should be one hell of a portable game. I admit my surprise at the decent score AC PSP got. I did not expect a score this high at all.
Im too busy playing LBP to comment.
But this game is kinda neat. It's somehow actually comparable to AC on the consoles.
A shame that the whole "social stealh"-thingy is sort of useless since each city only has like... 20 inhabitants(or so it seems)
