Assassin's Creed:Brotherhood

Assassin's creed Brotherhood, is a free-roam,action-adventure stealth game developed and published by Ubisoft in 2010 in consoles, and 2011 in PC. The games continue the story of Ezio in Assassin's Creed 2, act as a direct sequel where we play in third-person respective with several quest provided in the games. This games provide both single player and multi-player features.

By seeing the development of the Assassin's Creed series, we can say that gamers are truly satisfied with this game. Because it provides more weapon than its predecessor that will help the player a lot in some stealth mission, such as poison darts or crossbow. The player also able to call and use horse for long distance travel, and even combat. The main feature that this games provide is Brotherhood Assist Move (BAM), it allows player to call another assassin to help them in combat or to give command to assassinate a target. if the BAM gauge is full, the player can use a crossbow barrage known as Arrow Storm, that will execute all nearest enemies that close to your location.

By analyzing using the A.G.E perspective. In the Action side, the games provide a movement button that include a button to jump and free-run, alongside with 360 degree camera rotation, some buttons that was assigned to several weapons, a button or mouse click(PC) to assassinate or use the selected weapons or items. A button to activate BAM, a button to use map, and a button to call horse for transportation purposes.

In the Game play side, the main objectives mostly are to assassinate the selected target. All of the provided buttons are useful to help the player, the movement button are used to move around the city by climbing or running to hide ourselves and select a best place and time to perform a stealth assassination. Because some quest objectives are that the player should not alert the NPC, that is why the movement and assassination timing is very important. The other button such as weapon or potion button are very useful when the player encounter enemy(get busted), the player can choose many weapons to aid them in combat, such as sword, hidden-blade, hidden-gun, crossbow, or some darts and may use potion if player's health are low. The BAM button, is useful both for stealth or combat by killing the selected NPC. Player also able to call horse to move from one location to another location, because the map provided by the game is quite big. The player may also use fast travel feature if the player have already visit the location/area before.

By looking at the Experience side, the player may encounter a self-identification as a master assassin and some color appreciation since the map and gameplay seems to be realistic. The place set place on Rome, and take a real existed historic character in the past such as Cesare Borgia, Leonardo DaVinci and so on. Both will bring to some curiosity, because the field provide so many quest and all quest some quest need the player to investigate, either a main quest, assassination quest and racing quest. Some multiplayer competition that allows many player to compete and battle to gain more points.
The curiosity may lead to anger, because in some quest, the player may encounter a condition where NPC will disrupt you and call the other guard and will cause the player to fail the mission.  The anger may cause revenge, that the player may search and plan a better scheme to kill the patrolling enemy that have caused failure to player before.
