    Que juegazo, no esperaba tanto pq hace no mucho tiempo Ubisoft me decepcionó con Far Cry 3 al jugarlo por primera vez y no porque sea malo, simplemente pq lo jugué en una época donde los mundos abiertos son muy repetitivos y ese juego junto con AC1 (que no lo he jugado) implemento un estilo de mundo abierto que en su época funcionó pero consideró que hizo mal a la industria, el mundoQue juegazo, no esperaba tanto pq hace no mucho tiempo Ubisoft me decepcionó con Far Cry 3 al jugarlo por primera vez y no porque sea malo, simplemente pq lo jugué en una época donde los mundos abiertos son muy repetitivos y ese juego junto con AC1 (que no lo he jugado) implemento un estilo de mundo abierto que en su época funcionó pero consideró que hizo mal a la industria, el mundo abierto repetitivo de los iconos, torres y fortalezas, y este estilo en un Far Cry me cansó por ser un FPS, y un mapa que me interesaba 0.
    Pero en AS2 fue todo lo contrario, si, es el mismo tipo de mundo abierto, pero lo que me hizo disfrutarlo fue ese mundo tan vivo que tiene, claro la inteligencia artificial a diferencia de hoy en día es peor, pero es un juego del 2009, aún asi dio la sensación de mundo abierto vivo y el parkour es una genialidad hizo que el juego se me hiciera super divertido, jamás pensé decir esto pero me dieron ganas de platinarme un juego de Ubi, por eso el gameplay también es una maravilla y los gráficos también son una locura se notaba que en PS3 todo cambió.

    Pero sin duda alguna su fuerte como todos sabemos es su historia, es increíble Ezio es muy buen personaje y su trama que dura como 20 años esta muy bien desarrollada, y luego esa ambientación del renacimiento (que soy muy fan) me encantó.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. + A Very good game with great mechanics and always brings new tools to improve the gameplay.
    + The parkour is so fun but sometimes doesn’t do what i want to do
    + Good Characters especially Ezio
    + The game is like a wikipedia page of the Italian history, u will learn alot though out the game about important historical monuments.

    - The ending is so bad, through all the game i assassinated alot of characters just to get to Rodrigo (the main villain) but at the end the Ezio says your death will not bring my father and brothers to back! Then how about the previous assassination! It was really a very bad ending of the story, I don’t how they though about that.

    Assassin's Creed II took everything that was already great from the first game, erased the repetitiveness and boring/frustrating gameplay features from its predecessor, added a loooot of things, pursued its great present/past story... and put all that in a MASTERPIECE of a game.

    AC II might be my favourite game of all-time to this day, but objectively, even if this is not a perfect game
    Assassin's Creed II took everything that was already great from the first game, erased the repetitiveness and boring/frustrating gameplay features from its predecessor, added a loooot of things, pursued its great present/past story... and put all that in a MASTERPIECE of a game.

    AC II might be my favourite game of all-time to this day, but objectively, even if this is not a perfect game 14 years later, it's hard to find many flaws in it. Once again, it delivered thanks to incredible settings all over Italian Renaissance, characters, with Ezio still being the best AC protagonist ever created, music, with the main theme still being reused in every following games after that, gameplay mechanics that were improved, story that was enriched, a lot of fun things to do and great new ways to approach assassinations during the missions.

    The Pazzi conspiracy arc was unforgettable, and I still remember to this day how it felt 14 years ago to advance in the story, through the eyes of Ezio, from its birth to his adult days, trying to take revenge on the people who betrayed his whole family.

    An adventure of a lifetime for sure. Please, if you never played this game, do it. You won't regret it.

    This is the best Assassins Creed I have ever played. The story, the characters, the setting and the gameplay are amazing.

This great game is one of the best games in the world, the characterization of Ezio is great, it shows well that the world shows its dark side from time to time, but not always. But why didn't he kill Rodrigo Borgia at the end of the game? It was stupid. I think it was only because they could make Assassin's Creed Brotherhood that's why I give it a 9 out of 10. Expand

The story is always interesting from start to end. But the story is being slowed down and immersion broken by some repetitive missions like freeing prisoners or collecting all of certain collectibles in the game for a mission, though these can be excused because they are integral to the story. Another problem is that I don't think the stealth is really that developed, sure there are places you can hide, but it just doesn't feel like a stealth game to me. What I did like is the world building after all these years that this game was made it's still very immersive with musicians on the street and the carnival celebrations and architecture it feels really like you are there. Also the gameplay still very much holds up even though the climbing can be kind of annoying sometimes it's still very fun. Expand

Requiescat In Pace, es la frase celebre que le dice a sus victimas de asesinato un nuevo antepasado en un nuevo periodo historico, que vivió en la Italia del Renacimiento, es la frase del celebre: Ezio Auditore da' Firenze, que significa descanse en paz, la historia inicia continuando la historia de Desmond Miles puesto que lo ayuda de escapar de Abstergo una empleada llamada Lucy Stillman que tras esacpar de Abstergo conoce a dos miembros de la orden de asesinos del presente que son: Shaun Hastings y Rebecca Crane que los tres lo meten en la version mejorada del animus, el animus 2.0. para que entrene para ser un asesino con los recuerdos de un nuevo antepasado en una nueva epoca historica que se llama: Ezio Auditore da' Firenze un joven Italiano de 17 años que vivio en la italia del Renacimiento que era un banquero común y corriente hasta que su vida dio un giro radical cuando mandan a ejecutar a su padre Giovanni Auditore y a sus dos hermanos: Federico y Petruccio a muerte debido a una conspiración contra ellos, y tras esto su tío Mario Auditore le cuenta que su padre era un miembro de la orden de los asesinos y lo entrenará para que el también sea un asesino mientras mata a los templarios que estuvieron contra su familia y les juró venganza hasta matar al principal complice, Gran maestre de los Templarios y el villano de esta historia: Rodrigo Borgia; la jugabilidad es el punto más alto del juego puesto que en el juego pasado era aburrida y repetitiva, aquí es todo lo contrario ya que es muy divertida y muy variada, ya tiene nuevas innovaciones y grandes cambios en la jugabilidad tales como: diferentes tecnicas de asesinato tales como asesinato aereo, que sirve para matar enemigos desde arriba, asesinato desde cornisas y asesinato desde escondrijos y además podemos tener dinero en florines para comprar cosas en las tiendas tales como: Herrero: para armaduras y armas, Medico: para recuperar tu salud y comprar medicinas, Sastres para mejorar las bolsas de tus armas y medicinas y cambiar el color de tu traje de asesino, y mercaderes de arte para comprar obras de arte, y no solo eso sino que podremos usar el dinero para reformar la viila donde vive Ezio como un alcalde o un político, además de que con el dinero poder contratar ladrones y cortesanas para que te ayuden con las misiones de sigilo, también puedes contratar mercenarios para que te ayuden en el combate, además de incluir armas nuevas tales como: la doble hoja oculta, la hoja envenenada, el cañon oculto, las bombas de humo, la capacidad de arrojar dinero y escapar con las bombas de humo, además del sistema de Notoriedad que sube cada vez que cometemos delitos por las ciudades y sirve basicamente para evitar que los guardias nos estén persiguiendo aunque por algun extraño motivo no sirve en los tejados ya que los guardias consideran delito estar por los tejados, y la notoriedad disminuye cada vez que arrancamos carteles de se busca, sobornamos a heraldos que dan las noticias, o matamos testigos, los controles son casi los mismos del juego pasado solo con algunas habilidades nuevas y botones nuevos tales como R2 para sacar el inventario de todas las armas del juego ya con las flechas puedes seleccionar las medicinas, cuando estamos en perfil bajo con Ezio no reza como Altair sino que camina más rápido puesto que Ezio se mezcla automaticamente con la multitud además de una funcion de robar a los cadavares para conseguir dinero y recoger sus cadaveres y armas y además de poder robar a civiles mientras caminamos con equis, además de nuevas habilidaades en el combate tales como: esquivar mejor, burlarte y desarmar, además de usar unas mecanicas secundarias tales como una carrera en carruaje en el camino a la Romaña, y usar unos de los inventos de Leonardo Da'Vinci que es la maquina voladora en una misión; en cuanto graficos es un aparatado que ha empeorado de su predecesor, ya que a pesar de que las ambientaciones de sus ciudades tales como: Florencia, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, Forli y sobretodo y antetodo la de la Ciudad de Venecia, y exclusivamente en la misión final en Roma son unicas y espectaculares, no se puede decir lo mismo de los personajes ya que se ven tan falsos y perecen hechos de plastilina y es la peor de la saga; la banda sonora es otro Punto más alto del juego ya que tiene temas tranquilos pero llenos de emocion y filosóficos tales como: Venice Rooftops, Venice Escape, Night Mission in Venice, Leonardo's Inventions Pt.2 y sobretodo y antetodo el que se convertiria en el tema principal no solo de este juego sino de todos los Assassin's Creed el cual es: Ezio's Family; la diificultad es muy poca en el juego puesto a las gran innovaciones que dejó la jugabilidad puesto que hacen muy facil el juego; en conclusion Assassin's Creed 2 es una gran secuela que demuestran que las segundas partes se hicieron para mejorar y que segundas partes si son muy buenas.

The mission design is rather bland and uninspired as well. However, its saving grace is within its fantastic story and characters, most notably Ezio. If you're looking for the definitve Assassin's Creed game, I'd honestly recommend skipping this one if you're a newcomer and play something like Black Flag instead. Expand

Edward from AC 4 works so well, because he is perfect balance between serious and fun. He knows when to have fun, but deep down he is serious and deep character, that's something Ezio will never archive. Awful game, hard pass.

    The first AC I played and the beginning of my love story with Assassins Creed haha From story to game mechanics to game setting it was just great. Of course it had bugs or glitches but not many. Still the best part of the series

    In Brazilian Portuguese. I wrote the same review in English in Ezio Collection (PS4):

    O primeiro Assassin's Creed (AC) que joguei foi o IV (Black Flag) no PS3. Conhecia a franquia antes disso, claro, mas ela nunca havia me atraíodo. Black Flag tinha algo diferente que me chamou a atenção e me fez querer jogar. E gostei bastante. Muitos anos depois, virei fã da franquia. Joguei todos
    In Brazilian Portuguese. I wrote the same review in English in Ezio Collection (PS4):

    O primeiro Assassin's Creed (AC) que joguei foi o IV (Black Flag) no PS3. Conhecia a franquia antes disso, claro, mas ela nunca havia me atraíodo. Black Flag tinha algo diferente que me chamou a atenção e me fez querer jogar. E gostei bastante.

    Muitos anos depois, virei fã da franquia. Joguei todos desde então e só não gostei de AC Odyssey, por diversas razões. Porém, ainda faltava jogar os anteriores ao Black Flag. E foi o que tentei fazer do ano passado pra cá.

    Peguei AC III pra jogar em 2019. Apesar de ter gostado do local e época onde ele se passa (independência americana), o jogo possui uma quantidade de falhas inacreditável. O jogo que mais tive problemas em jogar, em toda minha vida até então, havia sido The Witcher 3. A quantidade de bugs me fez perder algumas missões (tenho vídeo mostrando uma side quest que não conseguia completar devido a um bug). Mas The Witcher é excelente, mesmo com os problemas. O mesmo não pude falar de AC III. Ele conseguiu superar The Witcher em bugs de longe. Mas muito mesmo!

    E por que estou citando AC III ou The Witcher 3, jogos que tive problemas com bugs, em uma análise de AC II? Bom, é porque eu não consigo jogar AC II devido a quantidade massiva de problemas. Comprei há 2 meses a Ezio Collection em uma promoção. E ontem, tentei iniciar AC II pra jogar. Estou desistindo agora que estou escrevendo essa análise.

    Por muitos anos, escuto muitos fãs da série dizer que esse é o melhor jogo da série. Sempre achei um exagero e hoje não tenho qualquer tipo de dúvida que eles falam isso devido a nostalgia. O jogo não é, nem de longe, próximo de Black Flag, Rogue, Unity, Syndicate ou o ótimo Origins. É muito fraco, bem ruim mesmo. Em história é até interessante mas suas mecânicas são tão falhas, mas tão falhas que se torna injogável.

    Mecânicas como lutar, escalar ou pular são completamente aleatórias. As vezes funcionam, as vezes não. E sem qualquer motivo aparente para não funcionarem. NPCs aparecem do nada, de forma muito pior do que enfrentei no Unity. Inimigos aparecem e somem do minimapa e na sua frente durante o jogo. Por mais de uma vez, falhei a missão "Judge, Jury, Executioner" simplesmente porque inimigos apareciam e sumiam do minimapa e até na minha frente, em uma missão que você não pode ser identificado.

    Minha gota d'água pra desistir do jogo veio na missão "Arrivederci", em que eu deveria escoltar a mãe e irmão de Ezio. Ao final da missão, devo protegê-las do ataque de inimigos. A jogabilidade simplesmente não funcionava. A missão falhou diversas vezes porque meu personagem não abodecia os comandos e, pior, das poucas vezes que obedeceu, ainda atingiu a irmã do Ezio quem eu deveria proteger.

    Enfim, a quantidade assustadora de bugs fez de AC II o jogo com mais bugs que já joguei na minha vida (superando AC III e The Witcher 3), sem ter nem perto da qualidade de The Witcher ou mesmo a possibilidade de superar os bugs como em AC III. Uma experiência horrível que só não me fez pedir o dinheiro de volta pois a PSN não aceita após a conquista do primeiro trofeu.

    This is one of the best games ever made. Nostalgia bias is real.
    Amazing atmosphere from the art style to the phenomenal soundtrack.
    Combat is fine but very dated and not great even in 2009.
    Parkour is relatively identical to AC 2007 but refined and the world is designed is a little less realistic but a lot more fun with updated features.
    Review Unfinished.

Aunque le salva lo bien recreada que está Venecia. En cuanto a términos históricos he hecho un vídeo analizándolo, hablando de algunos temas que no quedan bien explicados durante la historia de Ezio. Creo sinceramente que este juego fue el cúlmen de Ubisoft, ya no hacen nada de la misma calidad. Puede estar hablando la nostalgia pero creo que los de hoy en día no merecen las ventas que generan, al menos en términos de ventas-calidad. Pero para gustos los colores. Dejo aquí el link por si alguien quiere volver al Renacimiento.

    This is a truly amazing game, a big step-up from AC 1. Ezio's story, his discovery of his family's legacy, and his journey to avenge his family and save Italy from the hands of the Templars is one any gamer should experience at least once. Ezio Auditore is one of the best video game characters ever made.

    Huge improvement from the last game! The only thing I had an issue with was the area's of San Gimignano and Forli. Didn't really find it necessary to put missions and collectibles in those area's when you are only going there for one mission. Other than that, I highly recomend this game

    El mejor juego de la saga por mucho, la mejor banda sonora, la mejor historia, el primer cambio en cuanto al gameplay (en comparación con su lanzamiento anterior), además de horas de juego y misiones secundarias que si bien son un tanto repetitivas te ayudan a pulir tus habilidades en combate. No por nada es el juego que le dio vida a todo Ubisoft.

    Muito pica. Eu andava cansado de Assassin's Creed mas esse ano eu senti que tava na hora de tentar voltar um pouco pra esse jogo que eu tanto gostava. Fui jogar os mais novos e era tudo uma merda, sempre tinha algum problema que incomodava e atrapalhava a gameplay inteira, seja história ou bugs. Mas o Assassin's Creed II foi quando eles tentaram acertar em tudo, e quase conseguiram. AMuito pica.

Fui jogar os mais novos e era tudo uma merda, sempre tinha algum problema que incomodava e atrapalhava a gameplay inteira, seja história ou bugs. Mas o Assassin's Creed II foi quando eles tentaram acertar em tudo, e quase conseguiram. A história é envolvente, os personagens são carismáticos, o combate é balanceado e o parkour muito responsivo. O que mais me impressionou desse jogo é como o parkour mais simples pode ser muito melhor de se jogar do que aquele exibicionismo do Arno, que em todo movimento tinha que dar uma giradinha. Nesse jogo aqui você tá fazendo tudo o que você quer, tudo o que você faz no controle você realmente sente que é o que está acontecendo na tela, sem nenhuma ajudinha, enquanto nos mais novos (como Unity e Syndicate) você sente como se tivesse demorando demais pra fazer certas coisas e executar certos comandos. As únicas partes que eu acho que poderiam ter melhorado são certos aspectos no combate e as partes finais do jogo. Às vezes eu entrava em combate e ficava tipo "ah, denovo não" porque certos inimigos simplesmente só levam dano quando eles querem, parece não ter nenhuma forma de fazê-los ceder e isso acaba um pouco com o flow do jogo. Em relação a história, eu acho que depois da sequência 9 fica meio rushado, o pulo de uma época pra outra é muito grande e o maior indicativo disso é a barba do Ezio, as outras coisas continuam as mesmas e o caos se estabelece muito rápido pra nós, mesmo que tenha se passado mais de 10 anos, porque a gente não viu esses 10 anos. Mas mesmo assim o final me agradou, e o todo o desfecho fez sentido, muito brabo. A ambientação é foda e as músicas são de fuder.

    PS: O arco de Veneza podia ser menor.

    However, the sword combat, while improved from the original is still not very satisfying. There is no real depth to the combat besides just waiting for an opening and enemies can take too many hits which can drag on some fights, this issue is amplified when the expensive swords I was buying didn't seem to improve my damage output like they said they would. Climbing is faster than the original which is nice, but climbing in and of itself as a game play mechanic is still not fun. AC2 is at its worst however during tailing missions, these are lame missions where the player must follow a slow moving NPC character. They pop up way too much and drag on for ages, easily the worst thing about the game.

    Assassin's Creed 2 is an improvement from the original in every single way, but improvements to the Assassin's Creed core game play loop still doesn't make up for how boring AC game play can be in the first place, improved or not.

    The sequel has arguably changed for the better in just about every conceivable way...Assassin's Creed II truly offers an experience like no other, one that mixes history and brutality to sheer perfection. And it's absolutely massive. [Holiday 2009, p.38]

    [Games are] about delivering a world that you want to invest your time in, full of characters you can have an emotional connection with, and Assassin's Creed II does that almost perfectly. [Dec 2009, p.102]
  3. Assassin's Creed II is such an improvement compared to its predecessor that it feels like a completely new game, rather than just a sequel. The varied missions really shine and the narrative is very effective, in all it's Forrest Gump-esque glory. Despite the quite slow start, Ezios adventures in beautiful Florence and Venice both look and feel amazing, and are well worth experiencing to the very end.
