AC Brotherhood
+ recruiting your own assassins. I hope they take this further in future games
+ setting and score
+ plethora of fun side missions, many of which I enjoyed more than the main missions
+ interesting and sarky historical database entries (not sure how much is true though!)
- combat is still a bit daft (but can often be avoided now)
- some of the missions are a bit fussy, and will fail you if you don't do exactly as instructed
- overuse of visual "glitches" to remind you it's not real
- lack of a paper user manual. I like having something to refer back to when the TV is off.
Multiplayer could be good, but the games I tried everyone just seemed to be stuffing about trying to get achievements. Overall not a huge leap over AC2, but then AC2 was my favourite game of last year.
9/10
