Description

Assassin’s Creed® 2 is the follow-up to the title that became the fastest-selling new IP in video game history. The highly anticipated title features a new hero, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a young Italian noble, and a new era, the Renaissance.

Assassin’s Creed 2 retains the core gameplay experience that made the first opus a resounding success and features new experiences that will surprise and challenge players.

Assassin’s Creed 2 is an epic story of family, vengeance and conspiracy set in the pristine, yet brutal, backdrop of a Renaissance Italy. Ezio befriends Leonardo da Vinci, takes on Florence’s most powerful families and ventures throughout the canals of Venice where he learns to become a master assassin.

Features:
  • EZIO, A NEW ASSASSIN FOR A NEW ERA Ezio Auditore da Firenze is a young Italian noble who will learn the ways of the assassins after his family was betrayed and he looks to seek vengeance. He is a lady’s man, a free soul with panache yet has a very human side to his personality. Through him, you become a master assassin.
  • RENAISSANCE ITALY Italy in the 15th century was less a country and more a collection of city-states where families with political and economic strength began to take leadership roles in cities like Florence and Venice. This journey through some of the most beautiful cities in the world takes place in a time in history where culture and art were born alongside some of the most auspicious stories of corruption, greed and murder.
  • A NEW-FOUND FREEDOM You will be able to perform missions when you want and how you want in this open-ended world that brings back free-running and adds elements such as swimming and even flying to the adventure. The variety in gameplay adds another layer for you to truly play through the game any way you choose.
  • DYNAMIC CROWD  Discover a living, breathing world where every character is an opportunity for the player. Blending in with the crowd is easier, working with in-game characters provide ample rewards but can also lead to surprising consequences.
  • BECOME A MASTER ASSASSIN  Perfect your skills to become a master assassin where you brandish new weapons, learn to disarm enemies then use their weapons against them and assassinate enemies using both hidden blades.

Preview by Matthew on 24th February, 2010
5 stars "Just a warning"
I have played this game on XBOX360 and it was very good, improving on all aspects of the first game, including but not limited to; the graphics, mission variety, customization, and graphics.

However, for the PC version of this game, Ubisoft has implemented some measures to decrease piracy. So now, you need to be constantly connected to the internet to play, if your connection is lost, then you shall be reverted back to your last checkpoint.

Review by Kieran on 9th March, 2011
5 stars "Amazing game in loads of ways."
I was a fan of the first Assassin's Creed game, despite its unfortunate number of annoyances and flaws. This game made me begin to hate AC1, because it simply wasn't the incredible game AC2 was. It improves on AC1 in every way. I also found the change from gritty 12th century holy lands to renaissance Italy to be a great decision, as running across the rooftops of Florence and Venice never gets old, even after hours of playing. Unfortunately, Ubisoft's (the developer) DRM means that the game has to connect to their servers in order to play. I wasn't able to play this game for 24 hours after I bought it because they were performing server maintenance. Despite this, it is still probably my favourite game ever (until Brotherhood comes out for PC). Anyone who liked the Prince of Persia series or Assassin's Creed 1 will absolutely adore this game.

Review by Oliver on 18th May, 2010
5 stars "Amazingly fun."
Despite the DRM which everyone bagged as annoying or useless, this game still shines just like the original. And the DRM doesn't eat your monthly internet usage either, in fact what it uses is unnoticeable.

The game play itself is a lot better than the original, and doesn't feel repetitive or annoying - plus you can actually buy weapons other than swords, and you even get a nifty gun later on. The graphics could be better but I guess it will run on most machines though.

All in all an amazing game that you won't regret buying.

5 stars "Awesome"
Improves on the first game in every way, absolutely massive and immersive cities, visceral combat and breathtaking free running moments. Thick and engrossing storyline. What else can i say? BUY IT and see for yourself.
 
 
Review by James on 20th March, 2011
"Action packed with detailed storyline means you don't get bored"
Set in and around the beautiful cities of Italy during the renaissance period, this game is a vast improvement on the first assassin's creed. The enviroment is much more exciting visually and all aspects of the game play including climbing buildings and combat have been improved. The story line for this game interested me a lot more than the first game and is guaranteed to keep you glued to the screen for hours. With a huge array of new weapons and new content, this is probably one of my favourite games and I highly recommend buying it!
