Background Story
On the 16th of November 2010, the next part of Ezio and Desmond Mile’s story will be released. Desmond Miles is a bartender who has been kidnapped by Abstergo Industries. Little does he know that the mega company is actually a cover for the Knights Templar who, using a machine called the Animus, wish to use him to relive his ancestor’s memories to collect the “Pieces of Eden”. In the first Assassin’s Creed, you were Altair, the first assassin in his ancestry, but in Assassin’s Creed II and Brotherhood, you play as Ezio, an Italian assassin in the 1500s.
Basic Gameplay
Like the other Assassin’s Creed games, you will wall run, climb, jump, dive, and flip to maneuver through the city. You will also still have to blend in with the crowd and use many other stealth techniques in order to lose the Templars, guards or whoever may be chasing you. This time however your enemies are more aggressive and it pays to strike first, unlike the previous games, where countering your enemies attacks gave the most benefits and kills. There are many more ways to kill your opponent, such as throwing battle axes and spears, so there will more variety in battles, as well as more smoothness because you will now be able to use your gun and sword at the same time.
Multiplayer
I’m sure that one thing everyone is excited about Brotherhood, is that there is now multiplayer. The multiplayer is a pretty unique concept and I haven’t really seen a multiplayer like this. Basically, you choose your character and when you enter the game, you are given a target. You must look for your target across the city full of random AI citizens, and once you find him, you will have to assassinate him. However, at the same time, there will be another player trying to assassinate you. This means you have to be stealthy in your assassination and not be found because the flashier your kill is, the more attention you will get.
Gameplay Enhancements
As seen in gameplay videos, horses will now play a bigger role, as you can now use them to help with your assassinations, meaning there are new ways to assassinate, as promised. Horses will also be included in some acrobatic stunts. There are also cannons shown in videos, meaning there will be many different types of gameplay in Single Player, like the above mentioned cannons and the classic regular free roam style play. You can also gain allies by destroying “Borgia towers” and completing other objectives. These other assassins can be used to aid you during missions or you can send them on assignments. When Assassins are given tasks or assignments, it helps them gain experience, so you can level them up to change their appearance, skills, and weapon training. However, if an Assassin dies on a mission they will not return.
Final Words

when I visit my cousin’s, even with the few times I’ve played it, I still think AC2 was a great game and I reckon that Brotherhood will definitely be more amazing and I will certainly buy it, as soon as I have the money though :(Follow @sirgames
