Missions are broken up by cut-scenes featuring the captured Templar Maria and occasional bizarre ramblings from Altair on the nature of man Dig under the surface and it quickly becomes clear that the gameplay fails to match up.įor example, you begin your quest in the port of Limasol, becoming a frontline figure in the resistance against the Templar oppressors. Visuals aside, though, Bloodlines demonstrates a certain shallowness.
To that extent, Bloodlines is a technical triumph.
By far the best feature of the game is your ability to seamlessly run, jump, vault and clamber over pretty much everything you can see. Indeed, looking out over the two cities you play though, the winding dusty streets and Mediterranean rooftops just demand to be climbed. Of course, the graphical eye candy on display means that, at a glance, Bloodlines seems like a ported version of one of the console titles - the wide panning camera shots and death defying leaps are nothing short of spectacular. Location-wise, the action is shifted to Cyprus, with Altair hot on the heels of the Templar commander Armand Bouchard in a quest to locate the Templar archive and the mysterious Apple of Eden. Rich in historic details as you'd expect, the story kicks off immediately after the events of the first game. They say beauty's only skin deep, and nowhere is this more evident than the latest game in the Assassin's Creed series, Bloodlines.
