First Impression: Assassin's Creed Revelations

Dropped the ball straight off by nixing the usually epic intro to opt for a recap of the first three games. Necessary evil I suppose, given how convoluted the plot has gotten at this point. Bright side: If you forgot the first three game, don't worry... they will be shoved down your throat in the intro.

Don't expect Ezio to have any epiphanies in his old age, he's still out to kill every single templar in the world and now that he's thoroughly swept Italy clean, he's off to Constantinople. There is an interesting little tower defense game added that I can see myself growing to hate later. Ezio also adds a hook to his hidden blade allowing him to pretty much become Spider-Man. 

The story does not mess around and immediately wraps up cliffhangers. It then gets sidetracked and prevents any progress as you are essentially attempting to get back to where you started.

Multiplayer and endings are yet to come. Stay tuned.
