Day 30: Why Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is the best

• We can all agree the 2nd in each trilogy  is the greatest

- The Dark Knight, The God Father, The two towers, Spiderman 2, Toy story 2, 22 jump street, X-men 2, and many more proved this feat. While fans had mixed reception in AC: Revelations and still glorify the ACII as the best one in the series after 9 games. We can all agree how great brotherhood connected these two games, which reminds me...

• It had that sense of freedom

- Assassin's Creed II focused on a young ezio and how he rose to the assassin ranks. Revelations focused on concluding Altair's and Ezio's Story line. Both are interesting but brotherhood didn't have to stick in the restriction. Though it was a direct sequel, it had that sense of freedom in which the player doesn't stick to a cliche starting a story or rather concluding one. The continuation of the Borgia family drama and liberation of Rome gave the story a fresh feel. Also, the narrative is fresh as we always try to predict what will happen next. 

• Though viewed as inferior to it's predecessor, it revamped everything.

- You now liberate Rome and in return you can upgrade it, not limiting to the villa auditore,unlike the last game. The combat is far smoother and the customization is better. The side quests are far more interesting and has some relevance to the story. Like the Leonardo's Machines, Cristina mission and the DLC. speaking of...

• Arguably, it has the best DLC in the entire franchise

- Tyranny of king Washington was good but it has no relevance to the story and it has fantasy theme which is really not a reason I play assassin's creed. The Battle of Forli and Bonfire of vanities was great, it was a part of the narrative but it was tedious at times and it was running in circles like, getting the apple losing it and getting it again. It makes the game slow paced, though it's a great DLC bridging the gap between sequence 11 and 14. However it falls short. The Black Flag's DLC could've been great if only it continued the main narrative and did not make a standalone title. Revelations DLC was  great, a breath of fresh air, the story and platforming puzzle was cool but it has no relevance to the story whatsoever. However, it does explain some narrative in the AC franchise. The Jack the ripper DLC was awesome yet it feels forced. I wish Jack the ripper was just a random bloke killing prostitutes and not a former assassin with a hidden blade. I mean some historical character in the franchise (Leonardo Da Vinci, Nicolas Copernicus, Alexander Graham Bell, Benjamin Franklin) who are not assassin's or templars but still made an impact to the story. It may be great that a villain was not a Templar for once. Just a jerk killing people. Unity:Dead Kings DLC comes close to being the best since it came close to redeeming the game but it falls short from the fact that it is Unity. It looked like a sequel too and it adds to the story and Arno's character Development. AC Brotherhood's DLC was perfect. Relevance to the story, character relationship improvement and character development. It also has the modern day element. It feels natural to the game and it really adds to the story. It explored Ezio's relationship with Leonardo Da Vinci and it sets up the grand temple in which is a focus in ACIII and AC Revelations
