The Good: Ends the brilliant Ezio storyline with a bang; cameos of Altair finally add some depth to the character, and play well; Desmond sections manage to be interesting and fun; outstanding AC gameplay really hits its peak here; the new Hookblade is totally kickass; multiplayer now has a decent interwoven storyline and better game modes; graphics are the best yet, and really shine; voicework never gets dull, and manages to add life to the characters; definitely the Empire Strikes Back of the series - fans will love the extended storytelling...
The Bad: ..and non-fans will find it drags and doesn't make much sense; controls have been reworked, but are still less intuitive than they should be; don't even think you'll understand the game unless you have at least played AC2 and Brotherhood all the way through; Desmond sections feel weird and unfinished, even if they are fun; actual main character design looks different to what we have bee n used to; lacking the innovation of previous titles
Another sequel in a hectic period of sequels, R evelations is more of the same, but honed to perfection.The Bad: ..and non-fans will find it drags and doesn't make much sense; controls have been reworked, but are still less intuitive than they should be; don't even think you'll understand the game unless you have at least played AC2 and Brotherhood all the way through; Desmond sections feel weird and unfinished, even if they are fun; actual main character design looks different to what we have bee n used to; lacking the innovation of previous titles
I am su sceptible to raving fanboyisms from time to time - for example, I have a Jedi logo tattooed on my right shoulder, and also fall foul of vociferously defending the Splinter Cell series as if my life depended on it (Conviction was immense, people!).

I'll have a little rant somewhere, though, as I have been declaring this my game of the year since June - it isn't unfortunately, but that's only thanks to some sheer brilliance on the parts of Dead Space 2, Batman and Skyrim to just nudge it down in what has been an immense year for gaming.AC: Revelations, then, is the fourth (or possibly seventh, depending on if you count the spin offs) tale of the Assassins and Templars to play out, and the third yearly instalment of the continuing saga of Desmond, Ezio, and even the original assa ssin himself, Altair. Desmond is trapped in his own mind, and in a blatant homage/rip off of inception, needs to traverse his memories to rebuild his own sanity after the events of Brotherhood. ...
