Finally, a new Vita game that interests me! I've got AC3 pre-ordered on Wii U so while everyone else is playing it on PS3 and 360, I am playing the spin off on Vita. Liberation has a weird setup. Basically, the whole game is set in an Abstergo video game of sorts. Relive the past, if you will. While so far, there's nothing crazy going on, I have a feeling that the story might stray from the Abstergo guidelines at some point.
So far, the game plays well, handles well and looks pretty good, though the framerate is iffy at best. The heroine, Aveline de Granpre, is a black woman in Louisiana that has three persona's; the assassin, the slave and the lady. The assassin is, well, an assassin. The slave is used to infiltrate certain areas while the lady is used to garner influence with guards and other men who think with their penis.
I played a few missions and so far, there is no real story, just Aveline trying to gain influence with the various groups in town. It's all a little muddy but thankfully, the game plays well enouugh. This feels like Assassin's Creed 2 on a handheld which is pretty damn impressive.
