Trophies: 22 out of 51
Idea: Same idea as the first two, the AC Gang is on the run from Abstergo and end up of all places.. the current time Auditore Villa. It's the ruins of the once beautiful house of course, but with a little work they get electricity and are back up and running.
Desmond is still going into the Animus as Ezio, still trying to find where the hell they put the Apple of Eden. It starts up just where the second game left off with Ezio walking out of the Tomb after talking with Minerva, confused he saunters his way back to the Villa.
Why did Ezio leave Rodrigo alive? Uhg.
Once back at the Villa, dreams of retirement are quickly squelched. After being scolded by Machiavelli for not killing Rodrigo, Ezio turns his attention to...finer things. He's totally caught with his pants down {off} when Cesare Borgia shows up with his army{?}, the villa is basically destroyed, Uncle Mario is killed by Cesare and the Apple is taken. {You also loose all the toys/money you got from AC2}.
Ezio escapes with his life {barely} and as the doctor says.... Maybe he's getting too old for this.
Thoughts: It's basically on the same level as AC2, with the exception of the stupid shop quests and the online stuff. There's no way I am ever getting the plat for this game due to the online trophies, but that's okay.
The story was pretty much the normal, Templars become a nuisance and you kill them all. More places to hop around, more towers to climb, more annoying things to gather.. Same old, Same old.
The best part? Probably being able to recruit other Assassins and the ability to summon them whenever you feel like it {within reason}.
Ending: WTF, I knew it'd be open ended to continue onto Revalations and due to spoilers online I knew Lucy was going to get stabbed. Didn't quite think Minerva was going to spout some gibberish as you hop around and THEN Minerva pretty much forces you to stab her...
Okay. Who is this "she" that Minerva kept babbling about? Anyways, Yes Desmond and his band of Assassins make their way to Juno's Temple or whatever and they get the Apple of Eden. Yey!
Ezio's Ending; He wipes out all the Borgia and becomes the "Mentor" for the Italian Assassins, he also gets to use the Apple of Eden which was actually quite fun just zapping the crap out of all the bad guys! Of course there's no real "end" to this either... It just stops after he finishes of Cesare and puts the Apple in the Temple of Juno.
Best thing to happen during Brotherhood? Claudia becomes an Assassin! Yey! I like Ezio's sister much more then I like Ezio. Too bad you never see her do a hell of a lot... Just run the Brothel.
