• Assassin - Designed for combat and agility, this is Aveline’s assassin uniform. She has full access to all of her abilities, weapons,
  and tools in this persona, but with a catch. While wearing the outfit, Aveline sticks out and is easily noticed by guards. In order to
  be stealthy in this persona, one must try to remain out of direct visual contact from guards.
  
• Servant - Dressed as a peasant, Aveline can use this disguise to blend in with slaves and workers. By picking up nearby objects
  like crates or brooms, Aveline can avoid the notice of patrolling guards. While in this disguise, Aveline can incite fellow servants
  to revolt and riot, causing a distraction that she can take advantage of. Her clothes aren’t as durable as her Assassin’s outfit, so she
  dies more easily while in this persona.
  
• Lady - In this outfit, Aveline is much less mobile. Although she loses the ability to free-run, Aveline can charm and bribe
  individuals to allow for easier assassinations. She has access to her hidden blades and a poison dart shooting umbrella, but can’t
  carry the usual assortment of weapons and tools that her Assassin’s uniform allows. This is the persona that most of New Orleans
  knows Aveline by – a model citizen and privileged daughter of a wealthy businessman.

This is the Abstergo Industries Geosimulation workspace.
You have been granted special clearance to participate in an ongoing empirical study of global war as a social process, contributing to
the evolution of a predictive, analytical model of collective dynamics.

The conflict is spread around nodes representing strategic locations across the globe. Your Home Node is determined by your actual
geographic location*.

Victory Nodes in strategic locations have to be captured and held by a faction in order for it to win a round in the simulation.
You can pass freely through friendly-controlled nodes but hostile nodes block you.
You have a number of agents at your disposal and have to decide how best to employ them.
You can send individual agents to participate in battles across the globe.
You can send agents to work in so-called economy modes to procure special provisions for your war effort, send them to support
allied initiatives on a node, or use them to guard an already captured node.
When you exit the simulation, all your free agents will be sent to duty on your home node until you return, unless you deploy them
otherwise.
Agents that participate in successful missions gain experience and become more competent.

*To use this feature, you must enable the "Use Location Data?" option in the system settings of your PlayStation®Vita system

Assassin’s Creed III could be cool, but I remain more invested in how Liberation will turn out. I feel the setting has a bit more
unexplored character and I was delighted to learn that I would not have to deal with any Desmond.

Some time with the actual game is enough to set one's mind at ease about Liberation being a slapdash Assassin's Creed III knockoff
--at least for the time being. It's an interesting opportunity for both Ubisoft and Sony. For Ubisoft, Liberation has the potential to be a
unique offshoot of a huge franchise. For Sony, it's a chance to show that Vita is capable of supporting the types of experiences that
justify the heavy price tags attached to the games.

Like I said before, what excites me the most about Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation is that it’s built from the ground-up for the PS Vita.
That means Liberation will make use of the handhelds key features like the front-and-back touchpads for a more immersive experience.
And the fact that it replicates the huge, open-world of it’s console brothers onto the handheld still amazes me every time I see the
game in action.

For a first time effort on the PS Vita system, Ubisoft Montreal, working with Ubisoft Sofia, have done a wonderful job porting over the
Assassin’s Creed universe into the handheld. The city of New Orleans looks superb, mind a few glitches with walls that vanish and
occasional obscured skies (what is this, the Blair Witch project?), and the Bayou is just as impressive, with no shortage of tree
limbs to run across and occasional swimming.

Liberation takes full advantage of the new Assassin’s Creed III game engine and its simplified control scheme. Gone are the days of
leaning on the shoulder button and playing defense during encounters. Press Square for melee attacks, hold and release Triangle to
aim and fire ranged weapons, Circle counters, X is used for block-breakers and other moves. It’s a bit of an adjustment to begin
thinking offense first in an Assassin’s Creed game, but ultimately it’s likely to be seen as an improvement.

Liberation is shaping up to be a worthy addition to the Assassin’s Creed lineage, one that is attempting to add its own thoughts as
far as franchise gameplay. That it stars the series’ first playable female assassin, one that appears to have a layered, complex
background, makes that package even more alluring.
