I have finally been able to play this game on a friends computer (After owning it for more than two months, it would not work on my computer). Wow is all I can say. Revolution have gone for the 3d perspective in this game and it truly makes for a cinematic experience.
George and Nico, heroes of the pervious games, are once again drawn into a grand adventure featuring the Knights Templar. In this outing a faction of the Templars has discovered a way to use the ancient powers of the earth (Lay lines) to grant immortality. Unfortunatly the powers they are unleashing will destroy the earth and vast earthquakes and unpredictable weather patterns ensue.
George and Nico will travel the world, from the Congo to Egypt, in order to solve the quest and prevent armageddon.
The new 3d look to the game makes it truly cinematic, though its not without its problems. You have no control over the camera which means that wandering from scene to scene can completly reverse the controls, this can mean death in some situations. Also saving a game at a certain point doesnt mean that is where you will return too when you reload. Example: You have just sneaked past 10 guards, you save and quit because you have real life to deal with. Upon reload you find you are right back at the very beginning of the area and have to sneak past those 10 guards again.
Despite my complaints I loved this game, it has good characters and a good story.
