Ezio, a Master Assassin, takes his fight against the Templar Order to Rome, a city defined by power, greed and corruption, continuing the story from the earlier Ezio games. Beyond sneaking and striking, he must build up and direct a Brotherhood of fellow assassins, calling on them for help during missions.
This entry also introduces the series' first multiplayer mode, in which you choose from a range of characters with their own weapons and assassination methods and play against others online. It combines single-player and multiplayer, and suits fans of historical action adventure, especially those who have played the earlier games.
