Bloodlines picks up from the end of Altair’s story in the original game, but this time the action takes place in Cyprus. Ezio, the Italian charmer from Assassin’s Creed 2, has been pushed aside – although he does appear in the DS spin-off. While an impressive achievement on a handheld, Bloodlines isn’t a patch on the brilliance of the recently released Assassin’s Creed 2.īizarrely, although perhaps quite pleasing for fans of the original, Bloodlines sees you playing as Altair, the hooded assassin from the 2007 game. So, with Assassin’s Creed Bloodlines, Ubisoft has proved me right. Trying to take this and make it work on the PSP didn’t seem like the best idea, with the handheld’s relatively meagre horsepower unlikely to be able to do the series justice. The two games released so far (ignoring the handheld games) have relied on the processing power of current systems to create massive, sprawling cities, incredible animations and stunning scenery. Assassin’s Creed is a series I couldn’t imagine playing on consoles with less graphical horsepower than the Xbox 360 and PS3.
