Gotta say AssCreed 2 bored me to hell after 3 hours or so but i wanna see how Ezio's story ends and how all comes together. So, i'll probably get this.
I hope the ending is very dramatic and not some happy ending shit.

So I picked up the game this saturday and quickly checked out the soundtrack CD that came with it, but unless I'm mistaken the 'main theme' isn't on it.
Does ANYONE have the full version of this track?
You probably recognize it from some clips/videos we've seen pre-launch and you heard a variation of the melody at the end of each round in the MP Beta.
Piano version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF6ocmmnyHE
Also, there's a lot of stuff on the OST that we've already heard on Brotherhood's OST... :/

Some more relatively spoiler free impressions.
Just got to Chapter 7 before I stopped. A new environment SPOILER OF ENVIRONMENT DESCRIPTION
and a very cool looking one. Also a new outfit for my main man Ezio.
Altair sequences are nothing special gameplay wise but they do some cool stuff at the end of Sequence 6 for Altair. Won't spoil what it is but it is something where the game mechanics and controls tell a story themselves as well. Really classy.
Also, I only did the tower defence game once (the mandatory tutorial one) and haven't bothered since. If you keep a liw profile and bribe people the Templars will never attack your den anyway. I also haven't liberated ANY other dens and just roll with my two assassin homies who capture cities for me in the brotherhood mission minigame. Money isn't a problem anyway in this game and once you buy the crossbow you are practically invincible. You also never need your assassins helpers, at least I didn't. Don't think that will change in the final two/three sequences. Will do all that sidequest stuff when I'm done with the story and after grinding those stupid MP trophies because I want the platinum.
I still think the bomb system is uninteresting, but maybe people will enjoy it. It is well thought out, but too bothersome when you can just crossbow and bladekill everyone and advance.

Picking this up tomorrow morning after what is sure to be a gruelling night shift, the thought of being an badass Ezio in Constantinople should keep me going hopefully

Wow. Story definitely advances quickly from Sequence
, from both points of view. On the final Sequence now, will finish this evening. I'm hype boy!

No, not as blatant as they did in ACII. I guess there is always room for DLC between Sequences but we are not talking years or months in between here in which things happen that aren't explained. The story feels continuous and not at all compromised.
I CAN see them do some DLC for the SPOILER
Altair sequences in between different parts of his life, although the PSP game already addressed some of that. Maybe something about his travels to Mongolia could be used as a DLC setting but then again they have to build a shitload of new assets for that.

So after 7.5 hours of play (just checked that in the stats).
Both every building their is to buy, and opened every treasure chest can I can reach at this moment.
Now back to the main quest for a few missions and then off to the "guilds"/"faction" quests.

It's interesting to see that you play the game way differently than I do. I ignore every side distraction and just play the story missions until I finish that and then turn to the side stuff.

Did you get the Signature Edition of the game? Because I've been wondering about the soundtrack that comes with it. If it was the full OST, or just a portion of it.magicaltrevor said:
So the soundtrack contains songs from Brotherhood on it? Do they sound exactly the same, or have they been reworked a bit?

This is true and a fucking scam. I expected a proper soundtrack in the Animus Edition just like with ACII

Really? I thought ACII fixed EVERYTHING that sucked about ACI and then some. I found that game awesome from begining to end.Sn4ke_911 said:

Also, if I just go get this from Best Buy, do you think I can stroll in there on black friday and get the price difference? Cause I'll do that if it'll work.

I get back home tomorrow night just in time Wednesday it begins. It feels like an annual Thanksgiving tradition now change over to snow tires and play an AC game during the holiday weekend. Not complaining the story has me hooked.

How big is this one, environmentally, compared to the others? If I'm the type of gamer that just likes to roam around admiring the sights and sounds, well how is it in that regard? I mean Brotherhood looked nice enough but it was a bit more restrictive I think.

About the same as brotherhood, but the city is quite a bit more interesting and varied in my opinion.brandonh83 said:

Not the best from Eurogamer:
Assassin's Creed: Revelations Review on Eurogamer :: 7/10
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-11-14-assassins-creed-revelations-review-review
If only the single-player game, which struggles to build momentum, were so well-considered. It's still fairly entertaining amid all its missteps, as the heart of Assassin's Creed perseveres to a degree. The disappointment is that Ubisoft is enamoured with its own glitter here, cramming Revelations so full of unnecessary adornments that there's not as much room for players to bring their own ingenuity and sense of adventure to the table.
Where Brotherhood enhanced the thrill of being Ezio Auditore, Revelations distracts from it. Ezio may look old, but it's the series itself that really shows its age.
Yet IGN says it's the best AC yet !?

This is the best Assassin's Creed yet, even if that victory is claimed by an inch and not a mile. If you've been following the lives of Altair and Ezio this long, you owe it to yourself to see their last adventure.

Sounds like it's basically more of the same. I kind of expected that but I was hoping they would surprise us again like they did with Brotherhood. I only play AC for the single-player and I just don't know if I'm ready for another one so soon after finishing Brotherhood.
I'll probably either pick this up on Black Friday or just wait until sometime next year.
