    5.0 out of 5 stars Your own personal Time Machine!, November 18, 2009
    Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    Assassins Creed 2 - Circa 2009

    GOOD:
    - A good story mixing elements of historical fiction and a Sci-Fi epic.
    - Really impressive graphics and first-rate animations, that looks just as good as games like Uncharted 2 on PS3 and Gears of War 2 on 360.
    - The game world is even bigger then the last one (it really rivals games like Fallout 3) also IF taking a horse across the land still takes too long some times don't worry there are warp points now as well.
    - Desmond can fight now and is not just content with walking around aimlessly, plus being in the Animus 2.0 every new ability Ezio learns Desmond also learns.
    - In the first Assassin's Creed there was about 5 different mission types (chase, stealth kill, ect) in Assassin's Creed 2 there is about 15 different mission types now.
    - like the first title this one has great sound track too that mixes music of the era during the clam points of the game and more modern type of music during the chase points of the game.
    - All the kills look a lot better now (not they looked bad in the first game).
    - You can now swim, no more letting water be your foe heck you can even drive gondolas if you wanted.

    BAD:
    - Some small problems from the first are still there - although they are a lot more minor now like some times roof top running (parkour) can be a tad sloppy in a tense situations and you'll get killed (small camera problems).
    - Losing that cool sword: you have the ability to disarm enemies and kill them with their own weapons now (this never gets old) - BUT - you also drop you own original sword in the process making you having to dig among the bodies to find it again and hope it's not lost.


    IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
    - A Stealth/action game set during the late 15th century and early 16th Italian Renaissance. You play as a man who becomes an Assassin in order to carry out revenge of his family.
    - You spend more time in the Animus and less time as Desmond over all.
    - The control is broken down mainly into two areas of gameplay there is a passive action and an aggressive action to almost everything you can do in the game. For example you can lightly tap people to move out of your way while walking down crowed the street (hold the B button to do this) or shove people as you run down that same street (hold the R button and the B button to do this). This duality applies to all your actions and it becomes necessary because during the game you must be able to move freely between these two states (passive and aggressive) to run and then hide from people the out to get you as well as to sneak up on and kill your victims.
    - You can now hire help like as body guards to protect with you might or street-walkers to use their bodies to distract armed guards.
    - Lot of what you will be doing is climbing and jumping from buildings this plays similar to the Prince of Persia games also made by ubisoft (the sands of time series). Although in this game the controls are more streamlined and user friendly as you can climb way more effectively as well as more realistically (even more then the first game).
    - In the first game most of the gameplay is not so much assassinating people but gathering Intel on your targets. This game retains some of that but expands on the concept so much you'll never think you're doing busy work (like the first) and you have a lot more big kill targets as well.
    - Combat has been totally refined adding things like swords, knives, bombs, and the hidden (dual) assassin blades of course, plus you can steal enemies' weapons and use it against them too. The combat has a more over all intelligent flow from the first game, althought it builds on that idea.
    - Mix up you clothing colors by buy buying dyes for you outfit (in colors like red, green, and black), also buy things like health potions, new weapons, new armor, and even upgraded maps.
    - You even get a villa (which is basically works like a small personal town) which you can upgrade by renting out space to local store owners and then getting goods (it's also the only place you can swap weapons and armor apparently). You should always put as much money into your villa whenever you can - its really worth the payback.

    GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
    - Assassins Creed (360/PS3/PC)
    - Grand Theft Auto 4 (360/PS3)
    - HitMan: Blood Money (360)
    - Prince of Persia (Xbox/PS2)
    - Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)

    ADDITIONAL NOTES:
    - Ezio the star of Assassins Creed 2 is related to Altaïr of the first game and Desmond is related to both of them
    - Assassin's Creed: Lineage, a small set of mini movies (with real actors and CG effects) telling the story leading up to Assassins Creed 2 about Ezio's father (who was also an Assassin). These movies are made by Ubisoft and are found on the internet for free - so go see them.
    - Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines (starting Altaïr of the first game) is a PSP game with Connectivity with the PS3 version of this game that can unlock six exclusive and unique weapons in Assassins Creed 2.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy sequel, November 19, 2009
    Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
    I haven't finished this game yet, but I guess I better make my review before too many 1 star idiots show up and destroy the reputation of a brilliant game.

    If you enjoyed the first game for the great story line and graphics, but found the game play to be a little repetitive and glitchy, you should definitely like this game. Ubisoft really managed to keep everything that was brilliant from the first game while fixing most of the issues and annoyances.

    The scenery is still brilliant and the characters in the cut scenes look so realistic that sometimes it felt like I was watching a movie. The voice acting is also brilliantly done; both of these aspects really help suck you into the excellent story that this game gives.

    The combat system is much improved from the first game; as soon as you get DaVinci to repair your "wrist blade" contraption, you can start stabing unsuspecting guards in the neck....even more fun than it sounds.

    The game starts out a little slow; you'll be beating people up a lot, but you don't get any weapons for a little while. This is all part of building a great story though, so don't give up on it too early (the blood will come).

    If you didn't play the first game, you might want to rent it or at least read an story overview online. The game presents a few back story cutscenes, but if you didn't play AC1, you might feel that the story is lacking a little. It is after all a continuation from the first game.

    Game ratings:
    Graphics: 10/10
    Audio: 10/10
    voice acting: 10/10
    Combat System: 10/10
    Controls: 9/10 (Sometimes I jump up on something when it's not what I intended; however, this is what allows you to scale building and run around so fast and easily, so it's an acceptable consequence. Once you get a good handle on the controls, this shouldn't be a big issue)

    All in all, I think that this was the sequel I was hoping for and I'm eager to finish it and see where the story goes.

    Don't usually review games this early in play, but I hate seeing 1 star reviews already bashing it and bringing down the rating. It's a shame to see such a great game with an overall 3.5 star rating.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The way a sequel should be, November 18, 2009
    Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
    The first AC was a great game that suffered from overambition on the part of the developer. Even AC 1's most diehard fans will admit that there were some pretty deep flaws in the game. With AC 2, the developers have actually justified that ambition. AC 2 is exactly what a sequel should be: more things to do, an even deeper story, and more weapons and equipment. There are a lot of great additions to the game that give it a pseudo-rpg feel: you can buy weapons and armor, and also upgrade them, as well as visit doctors and buy medicine. The developers hit it spot on by choosing the Italian Renaissance. Theres no other game that will let you run pretty much freely through famous Italian cities at the height of their glory, much less meet Leonardo da Vinci. But hey, its just a game. Another thing is that the graphics are absolutely fantastic, and this is from someone who almost exclusively plays pc games. With all the great improvements in AC 2, I will have to put a word of warning: even with all the new additions, It plays pretty much exactly like the first game, and I have to say that if you didn't enjoy the first game, then there isnt much that can change your mind about this one. However, for fans of the series, this game really couldnt be any better.
