This change of limiting down the explorable area to separate 'slices' makes the open-world feeling of the first game stunted.Ĭombat is not very different from the first game, the attacks and counterattacks remaining as they were, and belive it or not, I have had fun trying my entire arsenal (your hidden blade, your shortsword, your longsword, your fists and the throwing knives), removing templars wherever I could. The writers did their best to explain the general rarity of pedestrians by declaring that the people of Cyprus live in constant fear of the new templar overlords, as their overreacting soldiers and cruel officers oppress and punish everyone on the slightest hint of suspicion.

The game actually plays like the first Assassin's Creed game, obviously in a very low-poly environment, with limited sections of the map being separated by loading screens, and the streets being pretty much unpopulated (the way blending works making even less sense as now there aren't even any larger bunches of people to get lost amidst. Maria will be a troublesome companion, and a major reason why the entire game even happens in the first place, but on the other hand, she grows as a character during the course of the game, and offers some explanation to events later in the series, and in Altair's life. He travels with a prisoner he took back in the Holy Land, the female knight Templar we met in the first game, Maria Thorpe. The story is linear, following Altair to the island of Cyprus to find out why the Templars bought the entire place, slowly unraveling the mystery of a secret library with the aid of the local resistance whom he offers his services in return.

Not many people know it, and it does not stand out to help itself, making for a forgotten secondary title. The first and only PSP game, Assassin's Creed Bloodlines is an attempt to continue the first game in a way more compact environment, where it does not fail, but the limitations of the hardware cause visible shortcomings in the structure of the game. Assassin's Creed Bloodlines is a game released by Ubisoft for the PlayStation Portable in 2009, directly following the events of the first Assassin's Creed game as the protagonist Altair Ibn'la Ahad goes to the templars-ruled cyprus in the search of yet another piece of eden.
