   ACR is a thoroughly enjoyable title, but the slight lack of creativity holds it back from reaching the sky-high echelons of the other huge blockbusters released in recent weeks. Four stars. Read more

   The hook also allows you to reach out and grab walls as you fall--walls that would be out of reach in previous Assassin's Creed games. You can also buy parachutes and activate them in midair, which feels free and easy, like wafting downward on a cool breeze. Revelations makes it more fun than ever to stay on the move.

   Despite some of these reasonably minor problems, and the story not being quite as revelation-y as the title would suggest, Assassin's Creed: Revelations is truly an amazing game that's tonnes of fun to play. If I were a more cynical gamer, I'd complain that this game felt like nothing more than a stop-gap to the next chapter in the face of the franchise becoming more and more like just another yearly release title schedule.
