Videogamer writes: "Assassin's Creed is a series I couldn't imagine playing on consoles with less graphical horsepower than the Xbox 360 and PS3. The two games released so far (ignoring the handheld games) have relied on the processing power of current systems to create massive, sprawling cities, incredible animations and stunning scenery. Trying to take this and make it work on the PSP didn't seem like the best idea, with the handheld's relatively meagre horsepower unlikely to be able to do the series justice. So, with Assassin's Creed Bloodlines, Ubisoft has proved me right. While an impressive achievement on a handheld, Bloodlines isn't a patch on the brilliance of the recently released Assassin's Creed 2."
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."
They just need to finish the current story arch in 2012 then either take a break or start something fresh with a new story.
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.
I haven't played this one yet but the reviewer needs get past the console version and focus on the handheld game. We all know the PSP isn't a PS3 or 360 and the games aren't going to play like they are on them either...
