Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Da Vinci Edition

Brotherhood might be the best Assassin's Creed game ever made, and the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Da Vinci Edition on Xbox 360 stuffed it with enough extra content to make Leonardo himself proud. This expanded edition came loaded with DLC that added real depth to both single-player and multiplayer.

The Da Vinci Edition bundled the full Brotherhood experience with a massive content injection. Six new multiplayer characters expanded your options in the innovative cat-and-mouse online mode that changed how we thought about competitive gaming. A new multiplayer map, Alhambra, gave veterans fresh ground to stalk their targets. On the single-player side, two new maps, Trajan's Forum and the Aqueducts, opened up more of Rome's history, while an exclusive mission tied to The Da Vinci Disappearance DLC added genuine narrative content. Two new game modes, Assassinate and Escort, rounded out the package with fresh ways to play.

This was the era when Assassin's Creed was untouchable. Brotherhood took everything AC2 built and added a multiplayer component that nobody expected to be good, and then it turned out to be brilliant. The Da Vinci Edition is the complete version, the one that has everything baked onto the disc or bundled in the box instead of scattered across marketplace downloads. For Xbox 360 collectors, this is how you own Brotherhood properly. All the content, one package, no hunting through delisted digital storefronts. As those DLC servers fade into history, the Da Vinci Edition only becomes more essential.
