In a vast open world environment, the game invites players to incarnate Ezio, a privileged young noble in Renaissance Italy who's been betrayed by the rival ruling families of Italy. Ezio's subsequent quest for vengeance plunges players into an epic story that offers more variety in missions, surprising and engaging new gameplay elements, diverse weapons and a profound character progression that appeal to fans of the original Assassin's Creed as well as entice players new to the brand.

    Assassin’s Creed II is a gem, a truly masterpiece also on PC. Developing a new economic system, and bringing more attention to combats, notoriety and context-script, Ubisoft achieves an awesome and epic experience. This sequel is far better than the first one.

    Despite the foolish DRM and six months after the consoles release, Assassin's Creed 2 is still an incredible adventure with a deep and rich world, an engaging story and loads of contents.

    A worthy sequel with all the parkour fun and swashbuckling joy of the original, and a bunch more game for your money. [Apr 2010, p.88]

    That’s how a sequel should be done. There’s a better story and a much more charming hero. Even the few flaws of the game can’t hurt the great overall impression.

    Tactile, bloody and substantial. One of gaming's most exciting open worlds - but only when you're online. [Apr 2010, p.96]

    Assassin's Creed II is a great romp through the past and a present that lingers on the precipice of becoming bleak and controlled.

    A combination of DRM and instability ruins what should be an excellent game. Pick this up on console. [Apr 2010, p.58]

    艾吉奥·奥迪托雷·达·佛罗伦萨，传奇的刺客大师，伟大的刺客信条导师，他追随阿泰尔，超越了阿泰尔，虽然某种程度上只是阿泰尔和戴斯蒙之间的传话筒，或者说是先知和现代人之间的传话筒，但他已经足够伟大。艾吉奥·奥迪托雷·达·佛罗伦萨，传奇的刺客大师，伟大的刺客信条导师，他追随阿泰尔，超越了阿泰尔，虽然某种程度上只是阿泰尔和戴斯蒙之间的传话筒，或者说是先知和现代人之间的传话筒，但他已经足够伟大。

    I am rating this purely on the game itself, not the Ubisoft DRM (which i didn't need to worry about because i cracked the game[shhh tell I am rating this purely on the game itself, not the Ubisoft DRM (which i didn't need to worry about because i cracked the game[shhh tell no one!]). The graphics, beautiful. The Free running, excellent, some tweaks made to improve it, and endless fun to be had. The story, FANTASTIC, and WAY better than Assassins creed 1. There is more to do, and a wider, more diverse range of directions to go, so it is not the same things over and over again. And the events that are taking place interest you and draw you in. The Combat system remains largely unchanged, but larger scale of enemy difficulties makes for some more challenging and often more enjoyable fights. And I love the cash aspect of this game. Instead of just having a sword and a dagger, the ability to buy and upgrade weapons, to save for the next one, is great! Plus the ability to upgrade the Villa (Sort of home town) in order to gain more revenue is good as. So, based purely on playing the game itself, i give it a 10. I give Ubisoft a 0 for trying their hardest to lose as many customers as they can, but admittedly they've put out a damn good game. I will add that this is an obvious console port, with the menu better controllable with keys, as well as the game telling you to press the "hand" key rather than the shift key (the HUD has an Xbox button style diamond like in Assassins Creed 1, with images corresponding to each button on an Xbox controller). Once you get past this, and the keys become muscle memory, you will have no more issues with it. I would give it 9.5/10 but there's no such option so I'm rounding up.… Expand

    This game is a vast improvement over the bug-ridden AC1. They improved virtually EVERYTHING.

    The story is the best of all AC games (except    This game is a vast improvement over the bug-ridden AC1. They improved virtually EVERYTHING.

    The story is the best of all AC games (except maybe Black Flag). It is really good.

    Graphics still look beautiful in 2023.

    Running across the rooftops of the beautiful cities and then jumping 50 m into the water is just awesome.

    This and Black Flag are the best installments of the whole series!    … Expand

The start of the game is woeful. Apart from that, the feeling of speed, motion and exploration are rendered well in a rich historical backdrop. I found the storyline attempted to be too grand and a bit silly at times, and despite best efforts the repetitive missions are still a bugbear. The gameplay makes up for it however, and judged on it's merits, make this a good bit of light fun.… Expand
