    Эта доработанная 1 часть здесь добавили много разных заданий драки, гонки, курьер, контракты на убийство. Также можно отстроить свой город с которого можно получать прибыль. Паркур такой же средний.

    An okay game with some pretty severe technical limitations.

There's horrible pop-in; objects and characters literally popping into existence 10-15 meters away from you. There's an FPS-limit of 60. The game stutters pretty badly on modern hardware with Windows 10.    An okay game with some pretty severe technical limitations.

    There's an FPS-limit of 60.
    The game stutters pretty badly on modern hardware with Windows 10.
    There's no Field of View options (and default is annoyingly narrow).
    Mouse & Keyboard is unusable because of insane Mouse Acceleration.

    Now, if you're willing to overlook the horrible technical limitations above, the game itself is okay.
    The story has a nice ending twist, but also has a lot of dumb or boring elements throughout, kind of averaging it out.
    The combat is a boring, floaty spam-fest. I groan most of the times I'm forced to engage in it. It is extremely easy, to the point where I could have beaten most fights (including the final boss) about 20 times over without breaking a sweat. So whenever I could I just ran away to skip combat or threw a smoke bomb and insta-killed everybody.
    The side-missions are a boring slog. Most of them are literally a single sentence of story at the start and then a go-to-area-and-kill/punch/deliver, sometimes with a timer (I think there's literally 4 types of missions: race, kill, punch and deliver).
    The parkour is a mixed bag. Some of it is pretty nice, but there are a lot of momentum-breaking animations that really break the flow of the game. Where it shines is the jumping puzzles, of which most are located in the Assassin Tombs; those were a highlight of the game.

    Another highlight of the game was the music. There's some pretty great tracks in there.

    So in short: Technical limitations bring down an otherwise okay game. It's just not worth playing with so many amazing games that can be played instead. And you don't need to play this one for the story. Because apparently none of the persistent plot goes anywhere in any of the later games.    … Expand

    "Improved to Perfection"
    I don't know how come but I feel like I have been familiar with the series my whole life without ever playing it. In my childhood GTA and Assassin's Creed were two household names all kids in my area have heard about and though I even managed to play Vice City and San Adreas in my early days I didn't manage to get my hands on any installment of Assassin's Creed    "Improved to Perfection"
    I don't know how come but I feel like I have been familiar with the series my whole life without ever playing it. In my childhood GTA and Assassin's Creed were two household names all kids in my area have heard about and though I even managed to play Vice City and San Adreas in my early days I didn't manage to get my hands on any installment of Assassin's Creed since then... untill now.

    Of course I decided to start from the original AC game and was... disappointed? The animation felt sluggish, the controls were messed up, the whole gameplay simply didn't feel "right". What I was pleasantly surprised with is this whole going-to-your-ancestors-memory thing - I wonder why the fact that in AC you aren't just an assassin living in different time periods of the past but also are an ordinary man living in present time through memories of whose you have access to all the assassins from the past because they were his ancestors has been so carefully hidden from me - I don't know about you but for me that is quite interesting. Anyway, after playing AC1 for about 6 hours I decide to give it up and move on to something else. I will return back to AC franchise 2 months later...

    What convinced me to give the franchise a second try was: 1) my friend assuring me to not even trying to give AC1 a shot because of how bad it is in comparison to others 2) AC2 has a "must-play" badge on metacritic so it had to be worth the try 3) I still wanted to understand what made AC franchise so popular and successful - there should be a reason. As I found out later - Assassin's Creed 2 was the reason.

    From the moment the first cut scene kicked in I knew the next 30 hours are going to be interesting - the facial animation and the overall acting was so good, duuude, I can only imagine how mindblowing it looked back in 2009. The voiceacting and the italian accent is top notch - the characters feel alive and relatable. The plot is amazing - just a classic story about family, revenge, justice and power (which eventually expands to something more....epic?) Nothing feels overstretched or added just in sake of prolonging the game time. Can't say much about the sidequests as I didn't bother myself much doing them. Also I was surprised AC2 continues the main story of Desmond which takes place in the modern times because to be honest I don't think I know any other game that did that before or after (oh, I know - MW2 and MW3 but that's a little bit different because after MW1 became a huge success it was easier to take risks and not finish the story in the second installment but do that in the third part instead as they knew MW2 will be success too and they will have to make MW3 anyway while Ubisoft couldn't be sure Assassin's Creed original game will succeed so making it just a piece of a bigger puzzle was really a brave move, in my opinion).

    What is the first thought when we think about Assassin's Creed games? Story? Music? Murders? Hidden Blade? Maybe. But what really comes to mind first is the parkour. The ability to climb buildings to the very top no matter how tall the building is, jumping from roof to roof in an effortless manner that's what AC games are actually all about and that's what really lacked for me in the first AC game - getting from point A to point B just wasn't funny. Assassin's Creed 2 is complete opposite in this manner - I was simply enjoying running, climbing and jumping around. Ubisoft did a great job in animating Ezio's movements so your parkour could feel as smooth as possible. I also appreciated what they did to the Leap of Faith - the right animation, the right sound design and the right combination of both makes such act of bravery truly breathtaking.

    Not everything is perfect. Combat system is pretty straigtforward and doesn't offer you much freedom and space for improvisation. While counter-attacks cut scenes looks bad ass the overall fighting sequences definitely lack depth and after some time you just treat the fights like chores you have to do in order to move further.

    Conclusion: Assassin's Creed 2 is a perfect sequel to its predecessor. Now I understand why Ubisoft believed in it despite quite flawed the first installment of the series and why this franchise has become as big as it is today with millions of fans all around the globe.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Отличное продолжение истории, при том что у компании были проблемы в те времена, от того взлетит ли она
    зависило будущее этой компании и с чистым сердцем могу сказать, что они смогли сделать ее еще лучше чем была первая часть. Ах, чего только стоит музыкальная составляющая, не заплакать услышав мелодию Эцио, когда он со своим братом стоит на крыше, просто не возможно.
    30+ часов игры благодаря тому что прошел ее на 100% ну и не много меньше, может на часов 15 основного сюжета, но даже так, это слишком много и хорошо по сравнению с нынешними играми.
    Самое главное что есть во всей второй части и ее продолжениях - это сюжет, с ним все хорошо, хотя есть спорные и не совсем понятные моменты такие как чуть ли не два раза смерть Эцио, причем одинаково, типа, первый раз его перед смертью пырнули ножом в 1 бок, в конце во второй и самое странное, что в первый раз, он чуть не умер, а во второй раз, просто встал и пошел, будто бы ни раны ничего нет, может это сила яблока так на него повлияла, но мне показались эти моменты глупыми. А так в целом игра заслуживает того что бы существовать и радовать фанатом по сей день. Последний раз играл когда мне было наверное лет 11 или меньше (Сейчас 23)и такое чувство что прошел игру

    Very good story but that's it. Gameplay is boring and not-smooth. Some guards need to be hit with the same attack several time to be executed. Graphics is a little disappointing but nothing serious. Controls are OK, a little bit intricate for the precision parkour needs to be performed well.

    Разработчики попытались взять всё лучшее от первой части, что могли, и приумножили всё это настолько, чтобы сделать геймплей максимально разнообразным, но и это не всегда помогает: некоторые дополнительные задания лично для меня было просто не интересно выполнять более одного раза, как и залезать на каждую возможную вышку для открытия карты. Хотя и в данном случае игра сделала    7.8/10
    Разработчики попытались взять всё лучшее от первой части, что могли, и приумножили всё это настолько, чтобы сделать геймплей максимально разнообразным, но и это не всегда помогает: некоторые дополнительные задания лично для меня было просто не интересно выполнять более одного раза, как и залезать на каждую возможную вышку для открытия карты. Хотя и в данном случае игра сделала большой шаг вперед по сравнению со своей предшественницей - теперь чтобы залезть на высотную башню, недостаточно просто нажимать 2-3 клавиши одновременно и просто ждать. Теперь нужно немного подумать, как именно поступить, чтобы забраться на вершину.
    Прежде всего главным плюсом ACII я бы назвал как раз исторический контекст. Прыгать над каналами Венеции эпохи Возрождения, преодолевая крыши настоящих известных исторических сооружений (информацию о которых можно также прочитать в меню), слушая стук черепичной крыши под ногами, а также взаимодействовать с Макиавелли, Да Винчи, Борджиа, Медичи - это отдельный вид удовольствия, который не ощущался настолько явно в первой части игры, и не потому, что Италия времён Возрождения для меня более интересный кусок мировой истории, чем времена Крестовых походов. Просто вторая часть стала действительно намного более живой благодаря мелким и приятным глазу деталям. Разработчики сделали в своей игре небольшой, но настоящий исторический музей.
    Ну и последнее и главное: сюжет в ACII стал намного более интересным, чем был в первой части, хотя и здесь возникают невероятно глупые моменты, которые не были бы прощены аналогичному фильму, но здесь ты просто стараешься закрывать на это глаза. Мы не получаем особо интересного злодея (или хотя бы одного из них), многие из них по прежнему получают декоративную функцию, но зато мы получаем живого и интересного протагониста с не менее живыми и разнообразными сторонниками. Здесь и мудрые куртизанки, которые учат жизни будущего мстителя-убийцу, и Леонардо Да Винчи, который напрямую сотрудничает с Эцио (момент с полётом на реальном дельтаплане, некогда задуманным именно Леонардо, заставил мое тело покрыться мурашками), и множество других запоминающихся персонажей.
    Мой вывод прост и краток: это хорошая игра с массой минусов и массой плюсов, которые суммируясь дают скорее очень положительные ощущения от игры, нежели отрицательные. И всё же этой серии есть куда расти, и мне очень хочется узнать, получилось ли это, хотя я играю в это и пишу уже в 2020 году, и я всё уже давно знаю.    … Expand

    Ну саме ця гра дала серії її "велич". Значно дороблений геймплей, дуже красиві Італійські міста. Ну а сюжет - на той час був для мене кращим за будь-який фільм, відірватись від цієї гри було неможливо.

    Maybe this game has not got the best story, but it is definitely better than modern AC games have. In the beginning there are lots of twists, but in the last half of the game it becomes more "lazy".

    Graphics are worse than in the Assassin's Creed(2007) but the world has more details.

    Maybe I will not be wrong if I'd say that it is the best AC game ever.

Definitivamente la saga de Ezio Auditore ha sido una de las más aclamadas por la comunidad en distintos campos, sobre todo por la propia Banda sonora, ya que de alguna manera consigue inculcarnos una ambientación histórica y fuertes sensaciones que te remiten a las emociones del propio personaje.
    Sin embargo, fuera de lo visual y lo musical, hay ocasiones en las que a nivel narrativo se ve un poco pobre y plano, es decir, son esas típicas partes en las que tienes que ir a tal lugar y matar a X persona, o bien ir a rescatar, o hablar con alguien, pero es que lo hace de forma tan repetitiva que no te cuestionas si realmente se hace de esa forma por alguna razón en específico, y esto provoca que no haya una dinámica dentro de lo que es la evolución de algunos arcos argumentales. Si es cierto que el juego tiene una buena escaleta progresiva a nivel general pero son este tipo de mecánicas repetitivas las que quitan ese potencial a una gran historia porque durante unas fases puedes estar en un momento de clímax en el que saben como manejar la situación y hacerla acorde con la dinámica del universo pero hay otras que simplemente tienes que ir hasta cuatro puntos distintos del mapa para hacer lo mismo.
    Si bien es cierto estamos hablando de un género mundo abierto, y saber adaptar a la perfeccion una historia de este calibre es realmente complicado, aunque recalco que no lo hace mal como tal ya que tienes sus misiones que nos hacen explorar los callejones de Florencia y los canales de la bella Venecia, nos contextualizan en su época histórica con sus acontecimientos y los habitantes de ese mundo. Sin embargo, después de todo lo anteriormente mencionado pienso que este tipo de misiones y mecánicas dentro de una narrativa se podrían adaptar de una forma mucho más práctica e interesante.

In this game you control the Italian Assassin Ezio Auditore. One day your family is executed in front of your eyes and you are going to get revenge. In this game you travel at many citys of Italy of the 15th century. It's my favourite game of all time because of the great story. The missions were always fun to do. The only thing I didn't really like at this game was that the fighting controls aren't very good but it is not a very big problem because the game is based on stealth. The freerunning feels awesome. The PC port is ok. I have found some bugs but they are small things and they 're not a big deal. I give this masterpiece a 9/10 and I recommend it to everyone who hasn't played yet.

    Unlike many here I didn't have any issues with DRM, so I'll note AC2 on its worth: a solid 8, bordering on 9.

    I played AC1 years ago and sort of forgot how I felt about it at the time. I remember only that I was interested enough to play AC2, but that I also got really, really, really really BORED. AC1 was a good example of an open world game that lacked gameplay. Lots of stuff to see,    Unlike many here I didn't have any issues with DRM, so I'll note AC2 on its worth: a solid 8, bordering on 9.

    I played AC1 years ago and sort of forgot how I felt about it at the time. I remember only that I was interested enough to play AC2, but that I also got really, really, really really BORED. AC1 was a good example of an open world game that lacked gameplay. Lots of stuff to see, lots of atmosphere to take in, lots of spirit and effort, but no transition of the character's struggle to the player through difficult or fun gameplay mechanics.

    In less verbose, AC1 wasn't hard and wasn't fun. It was a long winded and repetitive, but still an enthralling visit to the Holy Land of the Crusade's times.

    Guess what? AC2 is exactly the same. Running on rooftops, escaping guards, trying to assassinate without being discovered first, failing, killing 50 guards with nothing but your sword, it's all the same.

    Setting changes, we're in Renaissance Italy, and there's a loooootta more guards on the roof than I remember seeing in AC1. And of course the architecture and world appearance are all changed.
    Florence/Firenze looks beautiful, and Venice may be the most beautiful open world city I've ever seen in terms of style, effort and realism.

    So the beautiful interactive tourism postcard principle still holds very true. And since Renaissance Italy wasn't a time of war like the Crusades, the cities have a lot of beautiful buildings and less military ones. So overall, it's a plus in every way.

    However while it bettered its predecessor in almost every way(except perhaps slightly less realism, so no more crossing the entire holy land to get to a new city, instead we get fast teleports from city to city), and it mended some of the worst aspects of it, namely the missions are more diverse and thus repetition is less strong, it didn't fix them.

    The three sins of AC2:
    -the combat
    -the parkour controls
    -the repetition

    Combat is just like the last one. It's still very slow, very hit-and-pray or wait-and-counter, and it still sucks HARD. I need to stress this, I had moments where I literally wanted to yell at my screen "ATTACK ME ALREADY" to some guards. I'd like to say that the addition of the new smoke bomb, throwing knives and poison blade help, but they absolutely don't. They're either pointless(poison blade), or just serve to make an easy game easier without adding any fun(knives and smoke). No aiming and no skills required, too.
    The only really novel gameplay addition is the gun, which does diversify gameplay, and has only 6 bullets, so you use it little and it makes every shot precious.

    Parkour controls are just too simple, and thus make you **** up. Not only a is a two-button system boring to play(you just keep your fingers pressed or not for 20 hours), but it can very often lead to VERY unpleasant consequences, like flinging yourself off a building or missing a ledge by 10cm and falling to lose half your health. I think the game would immensely gain from a run, jump, grab main system of 3 buttons, rather than a run, jump/grab system. You'd actually press buttons and get a feel for your controls, and not get any more infuriating falls.

    Repetition, what can I say. It was bad in AC1. I forgot how bad it was, but let me tell you, I finished AC2 with 95% or 96% done; in 25 hours. All paintings, statues, renovation, shops at max, weapons, armors, Assassin Seals, everything but the 100 feathers collectathon. If I had avoided all that, you'd think that the game would be a lot shorter and less tedious, right? Well no. That was the stuff I did to diversify my entertainment. Because AC2 is still 15% bad combat, 70% simplistic parkour, and 15% choosing your route to reach a target, an item, or an objective. Little got me more annoyed in AC2 than being teleported back to Venice, which has some really voluntarily complicated level design, to see that the game put me 350 meters away from my target and that I have to go up the roofs again, cross the city again, hold down two buttons again, for 5 good minutes if I'm fast. This repetition of the same tasks that you never get really good at, because they're all simple unless the controls destroy you, they weigh tremendously heavily on the player. I just got so bored. So hard. Past 12 hours I was a little tired, past 17, I was begging the game to end.

    Yet, I'll easily say that I was charmed by AC2. The production values that were poured into the cities, the level design, the Renaissance Italy style, the friendship with Leonardo Da Vinci and some others, even the story and plot of the series, which I don't regard very highly, it all wooed me. I completely fell for the interactive postcard, and although I got very bored, I know that I'll want to try Brotherhood at some point. There is a magic to AC2 that's certainly not in the gameplay, but in countless work hours that served to make this immersive, boring, memorable, and all in all enjoyable game.    … Expand

This time the story is set in renaissance era of Italy with action taking in a couple of Italian towns like Florence,    Assassins Creed 2 is everything you would expect from a sequel.

    The game follows a story of Ezio Auditore - a character I found extremely annoying at first but learned to like by the end of a game. This time the story is set in renaissance era of Italy with action taking in a couple of Italian towns like Florence, Venice, Tuscany.

    Ezio is introduced a s reckless playboy character until both his father and brother are hanged for treason. Only then Ezio learns that his father was an assassin and begin his journey into the ranks of assassins. The story this time is a bit more linear than in the original Assassin's Creed but there is no lack of side activities to torment the completionists. Same as previously we follow the modern-time story of Desmond who re-lives the life of Ezio. And as previously the time spent outside the animus feels like totally necessary.

    Mechanics wise this game improves on original game in almost every aspect. Drops the tedious repetitive missions in favour of more catered story driven missions this time. Crowd blending has been vastly improved making it more natural than previously. Notoriety has been introduced which can be removed by bribes or taking down wanted poster. It is really fun trying to navigate through a town having highest notoriety with guards alerted to your presence if you're not careful enough. Combat was also refined giving a wider array of moves.

    Graphics hold up till this day - although you can tell the age when you're outside the town and it feels a bit empty. Inside cities however there's nothing to be picky about. The designs gives a good feel for the time period. The cities are well designed and fun to travel through either by foot or taking the rooftops.

    Overall a big improvement to the original one and a really fun game that still holds up very well. Definitiely worth playing.    … Expand

    Best game in the franchise. Period. The original Assassin Creed was great but repetitive. I loved it though because of the Crusades Jerusalem setting. The sequel, while less attractive as a setting to me, was a much better game, with richer gameplay. And the story, although not the best in the world, was enjoyable and not totally retarded like it became in future installments.

    Let me put the DRM aside and review the game since I pirated it (thanks to Ubisoft and its great DRM).

Music is also made by my favourite composer Jesper Kyd who contributed a lot to the AC series.

    The whole game is designed for the console though so the control scheme on KB/M is pure **** (unless you want to kill your left pinky), couldn't play it without a controller, though I prefer playing action games with a controller so I was OK with it. Graphics is optimised for the console so if you don't have a 16:9 monitor you get a letterbox on the screen...Well, what did I expect from Ubisoft?

    If you are going to play just one AC game, this is it. But you don't have to go through the collectibles since they are pointless time wasters. Just go through the story and you're done with the game. I really don't like the collectibles for achievements trend, to be honest.    … Expand

I can’t say it was a disappointment but I regret wasting my time on it. My biggest problem are the controls and the quest design. Far too often I jumped not where I wanted or I thought I would jump. Too many quests were timed races/platforming or worse escort missions. Combine this with not-too-perfect controls and frustration or even a rage quit is guaranteed. Since most enemies can counter yours counter attacks as well as yours disarm attempts combat drags on forever. And there's way too much combat in this game mostly caused by overabundance of hypersensitive guards patrolling the streets. Stealth is almost not an option here. Most quests inevitably end up in combat. The very few missions with forced stealth are poorly done and irritating. The game is agonizingly long. Half way through I started praying for the game to end.… Expand

    Uno de los mejores de la saga. Basada en la época del renacimiento, cambia por completo la jugabilidad un poco monótona del primer juego. Se añaden muchas cosas que serán la base o pilares fundamentales de los siguientes.

    At least for me, that didn't work AT ALL, I lost even on the very first, easy race. I then got myself a decent Xbox-controller for PC, and things changed (make sure it's a rather precise one...I tried a very cheap one which simply didn't work for some of the more complicated jumps).
    What a game, what a story, what a main character...

    The game has aged well...sure, you can tell it's from 2010, but Florence still looks really nice, very colorful and atmospheric.
    Ezio is a very likeable guy, and I quickly was caught up by the story. The moment when he first gets the costume and puts it on is very cool...and iconic. So is the beginning, where you witness Ezios birth, and considering you can follow his story until his death...well, I really think he is one of the coolest characters ever.

    The game surely has its flaws... the controls still are sometimes wonky, where you do a race or a more complicated maneuver and fail because the character does something else, something you didn't intend to, like doing a backwards flip from a wall when you tried something else.

    Still, the story and the game mechanics are very cool. It's fun to see Ezio turn from an easy-going teenager to a great assassin, fun to rebuild his base, which lets you earn a lot of money, enabling you to unlock upgrades. Once you do, things get a bit easier, as you can carry more ammo and have more health.
    The missions and assassinations are nicely embedded in the story, up until the very end. Yes, you WILL have some frustrating moments... stuff like the race against La Volpe (the controls will make that tricky), or assassinating the merchant on the ship. Yes, it will feel unfair, you might rage a bit.
    however, even with those flaws (which Ubisoft in some cases fixed in later games... parcour in Unity for example is much smoother and more controlled, with less mishaps happening), this is almost an iconic game about a great character, with a lot of atmosphere and good-looking graphics.
    It's a bit dated, but if you want to try out the franchise and see why it was and still is so popular (even though some later entries IMO don't live up to the original games), try out this, and if you like it, continue Ezios story in Brotherhood and Revelations.
    Stay patient with the controls, and you WILL succeed. Finishing the optional special jumping-riddles (which will unlock a very special set of armour at your base, which is almost imba) took a lot of attempts on some parts, but felt ultimately satisfying.
    This is an improvement over the original AC, and it is the beginning of possibly the coolest and most iconic of the assassins. I still like this Ezio-trilogy (2, BH, Revelations), III and Unity much more than BF, Rogue, or the rather dull and disappointing Syndicate. Check it out, its easy to find for just a few bucks usually!    … Expand

    It really is a big difference between the first Assassin's Creed title and the second. Surpsins in a pleasant way because I did not think can be added so many new things in the story, especially during play and significantly increased.

    A true epic game. Great story, great soundtrack (if it was a movie, this soundtrack would have surely nominated for Oscars), great characters. The Ezio trilogy made Assassin's Creed my most favourite game franchise. I will sure visit Italy in future and that will be only for three reasons - 1)This game, 2)Gladiator movie, 3)Home of supercars like Lamborghini and Ferrari.

    Where AC1 suffered from crippling repetition in its side quests, AC2 rectifies this somewhat by including more variety within the side missions and in its locales. However, most of these turn out to be little more than diversions that don't really add much depth. They are still entertaining for the most part, but even in AC2 they still become slightly tedious and repetitive, their incentive being a little extra cash on the side. The glyphs are the exception to this, which provide a nice change of pace in gameplay with its puzzles, in addition to a little more backstory and lore to the game.

    When it comes to visuals, the game looks fairly decent. Standing on a tall tower and looking down upon the city of Florence certainly makes for an impressive scene. When the cutscenes come rolling in however, character models definitely leave much to be desired. What impresses me most about AC2 though is its setting and general atmosphere. I have to congratulate Jesper Kyd on the soundtrack because it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. It does a phenomenal job of imbuing a great sense of discovery, of true Renaissance Italy, and it is the main reason (at least for me) why the game remains so memorable over the years, because just listening to it gives me the fondest sense of nostalgia.

    Assassin's Creed II is a must have for every gamer who enjoys open world games.

The game is very rewarding in each aspect and each mission seems unique in its own way.

You'll find it both exciting and also witty in many ways(I myself had to laugh a lot at some of the references used in the game), mostly due to the awesome protagonist: Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Fantastic voice acting!

    Great story and graphics. Was a bit laggy for me at times, but it was very fun to grab people from haystacks and jump on top of them. Same concept as every other assassins creed game, so I have to give it an 8 rather than a 10 because of being recycled material >:(

    The graphics are very good, and that sums up the good points. This is the most totally broken piece of software I have ever experienced. If we thought BF4 was broken, this one is laughably worse by far. I received my copy as a promotion. Do Not waste your money on this one.

    A fantastic game, much better than the first AC (it is a lot less repetitive and boring, although it relies on the same core pillars). I played it quite late, which on the bright side allowed me to take advantage of my modern PC to enjoy a really smooth experience in high resolution, which is very immersive (and impressive). Highly recommended to any action / adventure fan!

    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.

    Two years later, Assassin's Creed tries again to make real those promises from Ubisoft, and prove itself as a better game than it was. The truth is that, despite the Renaissance setting, the vivid locations and the historical landmarks, the new features added don't really improve the sequel: the same repetitive mechanics remain, as the flawed enemy AI, a rough combat system and moments of frustration coming from issues with the camera and the control response in the platform sections. Assassin's Creed II it's still a good game but far from the masterpiece Ubisoft has been promising.
