Review by Tony on 10th December, 2009
5 stars "GOTY 2010 Contender, thats for sure!"

After playing this game through and completing it to 100%, i have to say, its easily one of the best, if not the best, games ever made. The graphics are slick and very detailed, and there was not a single bug that i encountered after thoroughly exploring the game. The map itself is huge, with many cities, towns and unique environments to explore. The platforming in this game is reminiscent to the Prince of Persia series, which is great, as there are a few challenges that will have you stuck. The length of this game is pretty long, but not too long, which means you will NEVER ever get bored of the storyline. Ezio is a character you will automatically love, and you are really drawn into the story with its strong plot and the emotions of the characters. The major flaw of the original Assassins Creed was the repetitive gameplay. This flaw has been completely turned around, because every part of the story is different, and the gameplay will never bore you. The dreaded flags are gone this time around, being replaced by feathers, which are a bit more fun to collect. Overall, i felt privileged to play through this masterpiece. Everything about this game is to the highest standard. The gameplay, the graphics, the sound, the unique experience, is all just so damn brilliant. You are drawn into the story from the very beginning, and you will never want to put the game down until you find out what happens next. This game is definitely a must buy, and will be one of the main contenders for GOTY 2010. BUY IT!

5 stars "Brilliant sequel"

If you liked Assassins Creed then you have to play this! More weapons to choose from, great story, beautiful environments, and better game play than the first.

5 stars "Fantastic"

If you are thinking about buying this game Please just buy it. The game was made in 2009 and the game is one of the best I have ever played!

5 stars "An amazing game with heaps of action and terrific graphics"

It takes time to get started but when you do get into it, its the coolest game ever! You can do lots more stuff than you can on the first one that I really like and the action gives you such adrenalin, you'd wish it was real!

"Awesome."

Okay, this game, is not at all what I expected, it is kinda of, out there but in a really good way, the blood, the violence, it's great, it gives you a good intell about the life of ezio, the assassin, but also let's you have fun killing gaurds etc. (: 10/10.

5 stars "So much better than Assassins Creed 1!"

Great game, wasn't expecting it to best as captavating as it is, a big step up from the original and a true classic. 9/10!

 
 
Review by Tom on 1st August, 2010
"Lets admit it, the sequals are always better."

This is very smilar to the first game however the first one suffered a bit from repeativness but the second one blew that right out of the water. The new weapons add so much more fun to the game and allow you to kill people in all different amazing ways.

 
 
Review by Matt on 30th July, 2010
4 stars "A thrilling game for the history nerds"

This one is definitely a must have for anyone interested in the Renaissance era. There's enough factual history in this game to keep the most geeky of history buffs entertained for hours and enough violence and fighting to keep those who don't care about the history-side-of-things entertained as well.
Being able to hide in a crowd of prostitutes, monks or thieves is a highlight for me, as well as being able to walk right up to a guard to stab him in the back without anyone noticing.
I'm a big fan of free world roaming and although it's not a huge world per-say, it is beautiful and very realistic.
4 Stars only because I give out too many 5's!

 
 
Review by Nicole on 24th June, 2010
5 stars "Fantastic"

I bought this game for my husband as a gift. I watched him play if for a couple of hours, and thought to myself… hey that looks freakin fantastic! I have now played it though 3 times, and i still love it. Can't wait for the next one to come out.

5 stars "Almost like your living in a different time"

Its so amazing. Twice as good as the first one and triple the amount of weapons. it may be a shorter campaign but the free roaming is just so amazing. i havent got bored of it and dont see how i could

 
 
Review by Rochelle on 9th May, 2010
"Fly like an Eagle"

Without a doubt there is no better way to see a city than to run and jump via the roof. Best value for money and totally impressive. The scenery is so real that if you look at the cities on the net then you feel like you have been there! Easy to learn, plenty of options and what could be better than meeting Da Vinci.

 
 
Review by Joel on 8th May, 2010
"Truly awesome game"

This game allows you to go back into the pages of history to the master inventor Leonardo Da Vinci who plays a huge role in this game.

In the game you play as an other one of Desmond Miles desendant.

This game is very challenging, with new assassination skills and equipment to take down your enemies.

During the game you will be able to explore major parts of Italy.

Assassins Creed 2 has had a lot of thought put into it with betrayal and revenge that will add to excitement of this game.

 
 
Review by Stephen on 6th May, 2010
5 stars "Absolutely Awesome"

I found this game so addictive! It is an amazing game with a great story line and nice graphics, once you finally get though all the “memory missions” it allows you to go back and free roam still!

 
 
Review by Cameron on 3rd May, 2010
5 stars "Not one but two"

The best thing about Assassins Creed one was the assassination blade. In number two you have two but it is more than twice as good. You can do so much more than the first one and I just haven't been able to get off the game. Its easy gamerscore for all those people who like to get gamerscore. Definately a game of the year contender.

5 stars "Ladies! Scored a happy partner!"

Brought this for a gift. Partner liked the first one. The graphics are amazing compared to the first. Recommend highly for a partner gift if women are finding it hard to think of something.

 
 
Review by Talia on 19th February, 2010
4 stars "A climax fufilled."

They have joined the stories together rather well through one and two. With all new gadgets and more weapons, its an assassins dream.

The free play is fantastic as you can pretty much climb anything, steal from a lot of people, as well as have a lot of fun doing the extra side missions and there is a great set of 360 achievements that make the game just that little bit more interesting.

I recommend using the courtesans for hiding and distracting above the others. The will give you a little help after you've spent a bit of coin on them ;)

4 stars "Mixed emotions at first"

Well at first I was a bit unsure on how this game would pan out but as I put the disc in I loved it all the way, the cinematics and great graphics made this game an ultimate and the way they have linked it to the first one made it that much better and how thy have the added weapons and made it so you can pick up guards weapons has made this game absolutely great.

So to all assassins creed one lovers you will love this one.

By the way get a cooling fan with this game because you'll love it so much you'll do what I did and over heat your XBox. :]

3 stars "100% Synced with Ezio...where's my reward"

Well, the good thing about this game, it has a very good storyline and overall gameplay has tremendously improved from the 1st AC.

The downside is that after I managed to complete the game to 100% with the added downloadable content on xbox live (excluding getting all achievements). I got NOTHING…where is my reward to congratulate me for looking in every little corner, nook, cracks, doing side quests, etc.

Maybe I was just expecting too much 3/5

5 stars "AMAZZZING"

After finishing the game it may me wounder if there is a next one coming out. As I was playing this game it keep me on the edge of the seat doing mission and finding something big at the end made the cherry on top.

3 stars "Repetitive and Boring"

I found this game had amazing graphics, and also physics, but its just such a boring game in my opinion. Its one of those games that you enjoy for the first 10 minutes then boom, its boring . This game is for people who can sit down all day being bored. If you want a real game Buy Splintercell Conviction!!

Review by Sash on 27th November, 2009
5 stars "A Promise Finally Fulfilled"

Assassin's Creed was essentially a fantastic promise that lacked the execution to fulfill that promise in almost every way. After two years, Ubisoft returns with a vengeance and this time they're taking no prisoners. Taking lessons from Rockstar's GTA series they've given gamers something the first one never did – choice.

There are just too many improvements over the original to mention here, suffice to say Ubisoft have made good on their promise of Assassin's Creed at last, crafting a romantic, exciting tale of loyalty and revenge.

5 stars "Better then the first by leaps and bounds"

Was utterly blown away by how much better this was then the first one. Instead of being repetitive and having you do random tasks, AC2 integrates everything beautifully into the story.

A must have for any 360 owner.

5 stars "a real asasin experience"

after completing this game i was astounded with how great it could be the makers followed the story on from altair in the original game and somehow made it better…

with all new locations like venice and a short trip to see the pope…new weapons ranging from scimitars duel hidden blades and giant axes and a cool little gun up youre sleeve

this game promises to leave you hanging for more which is lucky because theyve left the story open for another game which i know myself and other enthusiasts are waiting with baited breath for

5 stars "Amazing!"

Assassins Creed was a good game, but the sequel is in a league of its own I cant stress enough how Assassins Creed 2 has improved from the first game. The environments are stunning the gameplay is at its peak… The freedom you get in this game cant be topped by any other, entire citys for you to run around in and the brutal yet mind blowing to watch combat, Ubisoft heard the crys for improvements from the 1st game and they haven't disappointed!

4 stars "Looks Better than before"

I've seen this game in videos and pictures and it really looks promising and also a lot better than the original which could get repetitive and boring.

New locations, Weapons, Moves and more this game is a must buy for anyone who liked the first
