    I think this is one of the best game that Ubisoft ever created. The story of Ezio is outstanding, parkour feels very good and the combat is entertaining. One of the best AC.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The greatest AC game of all time, and remains so till date!
    Why you may ask ? Good question.
    Assassin's Creed 2 offers an incredible story, following the life of Ezio Giovanni Auditore Da Firenze, a Young nobleman playboy, that becomes a well honed assassin following his Family's unfair execution, the story shows the incredible development of Ezio, and change of his motives, persona and goals to something much more bigger and impactful, on his journey he meets up with many people that guide him or change his view on how the world works and how the system is being tampered so easily by evil shadowy hands, this story, disregarding its simplicity, remains one of the greatest stories in any game, I dare say.
    The gameplay, while dated, remains complicated, hard to master, and needs more attention and wisdom than just spamming some buttons, making the game quite unresponsive at times, but much more immersive.
    The graphics are decent, not something that will blow you off, but quite colourful and fitting each atmosphere, since each city has its own ambience, Monteriggioni is all dark and gloomy, Venice is all colourful and alive, Firenze is all saddened and grey, and Forli is all dark and dirty, giving each map, city and location a unique feel to it.
    The music is nothing to ignore as well, since the "Ezio's family" Soundtrack became the trademark of the entire franchise, the music varies a lot to suit each city as well, pushing the entire uniqueness of each map towards the extreme.
    In summary, if you like great story-telling, amazing music, immersive gameplay and exquisite graphics, AC 2 is right there for you, and from me, it's a solid 9.5/10. (Since Metacritic doesn't allow commas, I gave it a 10, anything that surpasses the left side of the decimal value goes straight to the next one, ex: 8.5-> 9)    … Expand

    Assassin's Creed 2 stands out as truly remarkable. It boasts the finest character in the entire series, an outstanding story, excellent gameplay, captivating world design, and unparalleled music.

    The best of the "Assassin" games in the Assassin's Creed series. Good for its time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best Game in the AC saga, incredible combat, very serious story but with a very charismatic character, Ezio Auditore da Firenze is one of the best characters in the games and by far the best of Assassin's Creed, transforms history and geopolitics in a very fun making historical people appear in the game, such as Machiavelli, Leonardo Da Vinci and even the 214th Pope of the Catholic Church, Venice as one of the best settings in the saga, fails a little in parkour and stealth, but improves much of the first game.… Expand

Finalmente temos um bom sistema de escalada, apesar de ele ser pouco polido às vezes, e temls um combate interessante, apesar de também ter suas limitações. No geral, o stelth existe para evitar um combate pouco inventivo onde você pode optar por um counter hitkill com as hiden blades, esquivar e torcer para acertar o hitkill ou pode passar 10 minutos batendo contra a arma do inimigo. Não tenho nostalgia com este jogo, então reconheço suas qualidades e evoluções, mas também suas limitações.
    Não há muito o que fazer no mundo aberto, o combate fica cansativo e o stelth pouco se faz importante, usado em missões bem repetirivas. 90% das vezes matar um inimigo na beira de um telhado fará ele cair, e 60% das vezes você cai junto se atacar correndo. Não é um grande problemão, mas me chateia bastante, principalmente porque geralmente você ataca correndo.

    Um detalhe que é bom e ruim: se atacar com a hiden blade e entrar em alerta, com sorte você consiga matar até 6-7 inimigos antes fo modo combate desabilitar a kill das blades. É algo que parece errado, mas pelo menos te salva de enfrentar 10 inimigos em um combate repetitivo sempre.

    No mais, história é muito boa, com personagens interessantes, em especial Ezio, mas sinto que falta um pouquinho de polimento em algumas mecânicas.    … Expand

    Это одна из первых игр моего детства. И, несмотря на возраст и недостатки, о которых я сейчас узнаю от других, она не кажется мне плохой

    Assassin's Creed 2 is a good game from Ubisoft. But I think it's overrated or I would love more if I played on the release, I don't know.

    -Terrible climbing controls. I was losing my mind.

    This game is the beginning of the story of the legendary character Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who is burning with the fire of revenge. The best sentence to say is to play this game and make others around you play it too.

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    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。

    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.

    The PC version of last year's beautiful action adventure is lots of fun, but you'll have to overcome its online-only copy protection and high price point.

    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.
