Story
Gameplay
Speaking of Brotherhood, I have always had a major soft spot for the title that introduced me to one of my favorite multiplayer experiences of last generation. Sadly, that is not a part of this package – but the main game still has a lot more tricks and refined combat that its predecessor, with the ability to task other assassins to do the dirty work for you as you progress in Rome. Desmond’s segments however are more tedious than I remember and have reminded me why I used to have such angst to get back into Ezio’s attire due to the great amount of boredom that these areas inhabit.
Revelations is certainly the most ideal of the entire lot when it comes to gameplay. The hookblade makes travel quick, while the den defense provides a refreshing little tower defense experience to break the standard monotony of the game. It is a solid title that doesn’t feel a bit different from the time I had with it years ago, and that in itself is just fine. Players who snag up this collection will also receive some little short films to expand the universe slightly, as well as all of the single player DLC – which to be honest is not a ton, but it does make the package a bit more valuable overall.
Audio wise, these three titles seem to be exactly as they were. The voice acting is still very well done and the soundtrack is also fitting and atmospheric for our hero. As good as the voice acting is, the animations do miss a beat from time to time, but I kind of chalk that up to the age of all three titles, as well as the fact that it probably wouldn’t be valuable to re-animate for titles that are now over five years old. Should Ubisoft have ironed this out? Yes, this game is full retail release and if there is no excuse the first time around for modern titles, a sixty dollar trio should certainly pull up its pants and try to put on the best show possible.
