As the sequel to Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood had a lot to live up to. It needed to continue Ezio’s story and build a new game world in a way that wasn’t repetitive. Luckily, the Ubisoft developers, writers, artists, and other personnel succeeded, and Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is now considered among the finest titles in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. If you consider yourself to be an Assassin’s Creed expert, then take this quiz!
In Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, an older Ezio Auditore da Firenze travels to Rome to uncover more Templar schemes. Ezio’s memories also help a team of modern-day Assassins to prevent a disaster. Like every Assassin’s Creed game, Brotherhood is a fantastic adventure that introduces a number of new elements into the series, such as the ability to actually build and lead an assassin brotherhood chapter. Some may complain that the main questline is a little too short and the world is somewhat smaller than other entries, but few can deny that it’s fun to play.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, players once more explore the adventures of the legendary master assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze. But they also have the opportunity to engage in multiplayer mode for the first time. For some, this element made Brotherhood stand out. Others found that they enjoyed the new setting and the tweaks to regular gameplay.
The Assassin's Creed series has many amazing entries. Brotherhood is undoubtedly one of these. It may not be the best game overall, or even the highlight of the Ezio trilogy, but it's still highly entertaining! Take this quiz to see how much you remember from this game.
How Much Do You Know About Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood?
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood isn't just any old game in the series; it's the thrilling follow-up that lets us walk (or parkour) in the shoes of the legendary Ezio Auditore as he takes on Rome. From the crowded streets to the soaring heights of the Sistine Chapel, we help our charming Florentine nobleman-turned-Assassin rebuild the Brotherhood and fight against the notorious Templar Order. Bet you can still hear the whisper of the hidden blade and the rustle of those Renaissance capes, can't you?
Ubisoft really outdid themselves with this one, spreading out a carnival of intrigue, stealth, and historical Easter eggs right in our console's backyard. So, brush off that eagle vision and get ready to leap into memories of breathtaking vistas and oh-so-satisfying air assassinations. Are you the kind of gamer who remembers every nook and cranny of the Borgia-infested Rome, or have the memories started to fade like Desmond's grip on reality?
Before we synchronize our next leap of faith from the top of Castel Sant'Angelo, let's take a detour to BrainFall and see if your Assassins Creed: Brotherhood knowledge is as sharp as Ezio's hidden blade. Rome wasn't built in a day, but let's see if your memories of this epic chapter in the Assassin's Creed series can be rebuilt in the time it takes to finish our quiz. No pressure, but we're pretty sure even Leonardo da Vinci couldn't design a gadget to help you cheat on this one!
Ezio's Roman Holiday: Main Story and Characters
If ever there were a family reunion you'd want to crash, it's gotta be the epic face-off between the Auditores and the Borgia in "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood". We're diving deep into the heart of Renaissance Rome, where the combat is fierce, the plotting intense, and the gadgets downright deadly.
Meet the Family: Borgia and Auditores
The Borgia family, those notorious power players, are stirring up serious trouble in Rome. And who's there to serve them a slice of justice? Our very own Ezio Auditore and his band of Assassins. The Borgias are helmed by the cunning Rodrigo Borgia—who doubles as the not-so-holy Pope Alexander VI—and his equally ambitious children, Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia. But fear not, for the Auditores, with siblings like Claudia standing strong and strategists like Machiavelli offering wisdom, don't plan on leaving the city in the hands of Templars.
Journey Through Memory Lane: Plot and Memories
Strap into the Animus, because we're about to relive some serious memories. Desmond, rockin' the DNA memory of Ezio, takes us through a gripping campaign where past and present collide. We play through Ezio's memories, piecing together the thrilling plot that is both a personal crusade and a fight for freedom against the Templar's grip over Rome. The more we sync, the closer we get to freeing Rome from the Borgia's clutches.
Fancy Gadgets and Lethal Toys: Weapons
Let’s talk arsenal: Ezio's rocking everything from a sleek hidden blade to the crowd-pleasing crossbow. Not your style? Perhaps a classic sword will do the trick. And for when discretion is the name of the game, a well-placed poison dart offers the silent takedown you're looking for. Each weapon brings its own flavor to combat, making fights in the streets of Rome as stylish as they are deadly.
Games Within the Game: Brotherhood's Special Features
Buckle up, fellow Assassins! We're cutting through the rumors like a hidden blade through a Borgia cloak. Let's dive into the nitty-gritty of what makes "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood" a game to remember, especially its exclusive features that had us replaying long after the credits rolled.
Eagle Vision in Multiplayer: Modes and Match-ups
I spy with my little eye, the introduction of multiplayer! Here, Eagle Vision isn't just for seeing through walls—it's about outsmarting actual human targets. Modes like Wanted, Alliance, and Manhunt turn the tables, allowing us to play as the cunning Templars in training at Abstergo. There's nothing quite like the thrill of syncing your sights on a fellow player, stalking them through the crowds of Rome, and earning those sweet, sweet synchronization points for a stealthy takedown. Just be wary; turnabouts fair play and you might just be someone else's target.
Art, Science, and Apple: Side Quests and Extras
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither are our skillsets. Side quests like hunting for the esoteric Art pieces or tinkering with the War Machines designed by the legendary Leonardo da Vinci add layers to our quest. Oh, let's not forget about the mysterious Apple of Eden that has us frolicking around the Renaissance like history's deadliest tourists. Don't even get us started on the Borgia Towers—capturing these grants us not only control over different districts but serious bragging rights. Plus, building a rapport with the Courtesans Guild, Thieves Guild, and, of course, the Assassin's Guild rewards us with the help of these factions all across town.
The Renaissance Parkour: Free-Running and Travel
Prepare your legs because there's going to be some serious free-running! This is parkour, Renaissance style—and who needs a car in Rome when you've got horses and a pair of sturdy boots? Travel across the rooftops and scale the walls with an improved control system that makes us feel like we're really there, leaping from one historic monument to another. It's a game in itself, forecasting our route like a GPS made of leaps and bounds! Plus, doing it all in authentic Assassin's gear? That's the kind of workout we sign up for!
