First impressions aren't fantastic by the way - you kick things off in the real world as the same character from Assassin's Creed - Desmond Miles. The game immediately assumes you've played and finished Assassin's Creed - a theme which persists throughout the game as it refers to scenes and situations punters who skipped the first title won't appreciate. After a brief tutorial style intro where Lucy Stillman (again played by Kristen Bell) takes you through the basics of playing, you're back in the Animus - this time with a different team guiding you through. 8/10
