AC: Revelations, after Ubisoft putting out one nearly every year it seemed that this version would be just AC 2.75. But it is flat amazing to me. Constantinople is a welcome change from the Italian versions of the past. It's beautiful, has slums, high end parts, and the temples are better than ever.
As to gameplay, there is a lot to love. The hookblade and bomb making are great and come in handy. The missions and side missions are varied in difficulty. And the Assassin recruitment is not just an add on this time around. You have to plan, and see an actual progression in your Assassin's this time.
The best part of AC: Revelations, to me, is the story. It's best if you've played the previous versions, actually needed. But AC:R has by far the best story IMO. Ezio seems like he's thinking out things and situations instead of just going 90 to nothing thru the game and has an end goal in mind. Desmond isn't clueless this time around. And most importantly Altair ties it all together. In AC Altair had no voice and you just played. Here he ties all three: Altair, Ezio & Desmond together, as well as having his own fantastic full story.
In closing if you even remotely liked any of the AC series, this game is a must own.
