Great Assassin's Creed Game for the PC!
I saw this for an amazing price which had next day delivery entitled and so I was away with the purchase.My PC isn't the best but it has Duo Core 2 and runs Windows Vista so the game does have a few 'lag' and bad frame rate experiences from time to time as my computer genuinely cannot handle the 1440p 60Hz. There is an option however to turn down the quality of the game just like any other PC game out there as well as turning down unnecessary graphics such as particles and reflections... in my opinion... so turning these down makes the game run a little smoother.The installation process took about 10 minutes to where it decided to tell me that it had stopped working and that I couldn't run it... this is expected from PC games from time to time so I had some patience.After about 3-4 attempts of the same error message I cleaned the disc CAREFULLY and tried the installation again. Voila... it had worked!Word of advice, when the installation process tells you to download one more update or something along those lines, click no and then the game should run just fine. It appears when ever I was pressing 'yes' to download, my game crashed and I had to uninstall and reinstall everything again.Finally I would just like to say that if when typing in your (what should be unused) key code into your Uplay account and it appears that it has already been used or there was an error, load up Uplay on the internet, log in and assign the game to your account. Load Brotherhood back up and type it in again or it should automatically detect that it has been added. For me it worked first time so there was no need for me to do this but I am adding this just in case.For any other issues just search up what is going wrong for you with the game and there should be an answer out there to resolve your issue or just question UbisoftSupport or UplaySupport on Twitter where they get back to you on your issue in a couple of minutes.- Andy

Fantastic Game
Well, what can I say; AC2 was incredible and this has somehow managed to improve on it. I was worried about two things when I bought it - first that the only playable area being Rome would feel restrictive, and second that it would feel too much like an expansion pack to AC2 rather than a fully-fledged game in its own right. Thankfully I have found neither of these to be problems. Rome is absolutely enormous, so it doesn't feel like you're trapped inside one area, and there are also other locations that crop up as you go through the memories such as Monteriggioni, Florence and Venice (Cristina memories) and the War Machine locations. As for the second, the interface and characters will certainly feel familiar if you've played AC2 so it's not quite AC3, but it contains enough content to seem far more than an expansion pack. Whilst the missions in AC2 were quite varied they have become even more so in Brotherhood: I'm not even halfway through the game yet and already I've fired cannons, driven a tank (yes, really), broken Caterina Sforza out of prison, fought a cult that dress as wolves and worship Romulus, recruited my own team of assassins...I could never list the huge amount of things there are to do. I haven't played the multiplayer much yet but what I have seen of it seems pretty good (I fail at it, but it's good fun anyway). The only problem I have found so far is one that's already been mentioned - sometimes you find yourself having to replay ten or fifteen minutes of gameplay because of dying a long time after the last checkpoint or because of failing to get 100% Synchronisation. This is annoying when it happens but it's still definitely worth buying.

assasssin's creed 2.2 (aka assassin's creed brotherhood)
I would like to start this review by saying I never comment on time delivery unless there are really taking the mic. Nevertheless due to the amount of complains I saw here before I bought the game, I can't help to defend the vendor (iNetVideo in that case).Yes the vendor operate in Canada so what!!!! the DVD is not region lock, if you are buying from this vendor it means you could not find cheaper at the moment you bought the game.I paid that game very cheap £6.50 which also include £2.03 shipping fees. From the order it took 2 weeks to arrived so what's the big deal about being patient?At the end of the day I managed to get a game very cheap, save £10 on average by being patient. The game arrived well packed and compare to the assassin's creed 2 game I brought in UK I had no just one but two quick start manual (in English and in French).I won't go into the story of that game cause i would assume that you had played Assassin's creed 1 and/or 2 and i don't wanna spoil the fun. If you haven't play assassin's creed 2, I would strongly suggest to play it first otherwise you won't get that game.One thing I noticed nearly straight away, is that when I played that game during the 1st hour. I have the feeling it was means to be with the orignal assassins creed 2 and ubisoft kind of stretch that game to make it on his own.As far as the main plot goes you don't really learn major things which is also why that game feels like a filler for me, and i think that game was supposed to be included in the 2nd chapter. When you go over it, the game is really fun and there is plenty thing to do. I also like some of scenes of the game where it's a bit "holywoodish" and when Ezio's mum and sister become pimp. You can now train and improve your assassin skill via the virtual.My only criticisms are that most of the action so far (i haven't beat the game yet) is just locate in Rome.Ezio is very hard to control some time. You can feel the game has been originally think as PS3/Xbox game. Oh yeah I nearly forgot the "capitalist" apsect of the game, what???? Yeah in order to built your bortherhoood you need cash, and to get more cash you need to make some investments (bank, building, shops) this for me is a bit of laid down even if it's justify.Pro:- graphics seems to be refine.- plenty things to do.- really fun and nice cliches will make you smile.Cons:- controller, like assassin's creed 2 ezio can be very difficult to control during free running or even fight.- U play apps and that DRM which implies a constant internet connection.- fell more a filler/add-ons than an actual game. you also need to have played assassin's creed 2, to really understand the game)- don't reaally like the music in that game (prefer by far the one in assassin's creed 1 and 2)One of the thing you must have hear about is the intrusive DRM. Well that one seems as intrusive as assasssin's creed 2. To be honest I did not have much problem with Assassin's creed bortherhood except when it took me age to install the game.Again I did not encounter too much issue (U play crash after I exit from the game) while playing both games and I can't complain about it. i also have to say that before purchasing that game I had a workaround for the DRM and this for both Assassin's creed 2 and Assassin's bortherhood, but I never use them.I run the game on mid/high-range setting and here my configuration:- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200 +- Nvidia Geforce GT240 - 1 GB VRAM- 6GB RAM DDR2- Creative soundblaster Audigy 4- Windows 7 x64 Ultimate edition- Airflow controller/nostromno N52Note: Make sure you have the latest graphic and audio driver. At the end of assassin's creed 2 and at the begining of that game. I did not have any sound for most of the game, it when I updated the drivers of my sound card and grahics card I have the sound back. it seems to be a commun issue which is easily solvable.
