KaelemBJan 3, 2010Perfect, it had enough similarities to hold onto what made AC 1 great and enough changes to make it still more interesting but didn't deviate to much from the original formulae :)

[Anonymous]Feb 7, 2010Assassin's Creed II is one of the best games of the year in my opinion. The story, soundtrack, voices, and everything about the sound is stellar. At minimum, without doing any sidequests, the campaign comes to about 15 hours. I played the first AC at my friend

JakDNov 18, 2009ACII Exceeds the first game in every way. Great graphics, great music, divers gameplay and an awesome setting. This is what Assassin's Creed needed to be!

SillyTNov 20, 2009While the prequel was boring in many aspects, part 2 is on a whole different level and is indeed a perfect gaming experience. Should be Game of the year 2009. Sadly, it probably won't due to mediocre games hyped by the industry, as always.

MarkWNov 23, 2009Assassin's 2 is EVERYTHING I had hoped the first game was going to be from the initial vids. The first game was a huge disappointment. Thankfully Ubisoft et al have heeded the criticisms and come back with an accomplished sequel.

NickGNov 20, 2009Don't read any comments with a rating of less than 8.It would illogical to rate this game less than 8.This game pales in comparison to the first game - in good way.This is a must buy!I enjoyed it a lot, it had a very twisting and captivating plot.The dialogue and scenery were amazing and the storyline topped it all off perfectly.Can't wait for the 3rd game!

-
JustFNov 20, 2009Delivered with enough variety to make me enjoy it as a sequel to the first one, taking up right where it left you in the 1st game.

YanniVDec 7, 2009This is a fantastic game (one of the best made yet imo). I'm a huge fan and i love the way they've made the game better.

KggDec 9, 2009They took all the things you were complaining about with the first one, fixed it... and made everything that was good, better and more varied

MichaelS.Nov 17, 2009Assassins Creed is not perfect, there are some graphical issues like tearing sometimes, but overall its a incredible Improvement in Gameplay, Story and Design.
-
-
MichaelSNov 20, 2009I cant understand Richard N.'s Voting, the first one was repetitice structured, but to say that to the second one is like saying every game on earth is repetitive designed. AC2 manages to surpass the first one in every kind of way, nice graphical effects, sweet voice acting, a good story and lots of humor. I love it.

NathanCNov 20, 2009As a fan of Assassin's Creed 1, I can firmly say that Assassin's Creed 2 is going to make fans of the first game very happy. I know I am.

SamJNov 23, 2009Assassin's Creed 2 is a STUNNING game that improves over the original game in almost every way. It's so addictive and immersive that this is my #1 GOTY 2009 contender. Without a doubt one of the best 3rd person action adventures I've ever played.

dannyfDec 14, 2009This game was the greatest game I have ever played in my entire life. everything about assassins creed II stands out from the crowd. the game play is intense, the characters are quite intriguing and the mix of history with fiction gives the game a "da Vinci Code" feeling. Highly Recommended

ShaunSDec 20, 2009Just simply amazing game!
-
-
DavidGDec 2, 2009this game is awesome !!!! you cant deny it the missions and game play aren't that repetitive as in the first game but i still think you should have more options, but then again no other game is that realistic in game play (that's just my opinion)
-
-
IliasVDec 27, 2009Great work. In my opinion it is one of the best sequels ever. The gameplay is awesome and the gaphics quite improved. But the most important is that the missions are now really interesting, something that in the first game was missing
-
-
vineetbDec 3, 2009this game is realy awesome.story,graphics&gameplay every thing is at its best.some problem is there regarding graphics.otherwise its a masterpiece
-

GodhevalCDec 3, 2009This was the game I had been waiting for all year. Ubisoft Montreal has consistently produced titles that fit into my top ten and AC2 is no exception. About as close to a perfect gaming experience as I could ask for.
-
-
MaxWNov 17, 2009This game has been so intense so far, I mean I can see the parts where they can rank on it a little bit but besides that, totally epic. As soon As I got the game I could not put it down! Very good game!
-
-
PascalBNov 19, 2009Big respect to the dev team - amazing game that stands out so much from what exists in term of video games --- Ubisoft took risks and listened. Thank you - I just love it!
-
-
AaronLNov 22, 2009You have to play this game. If you thought the first one was too repetitive, don't assume this one is as well. The gameplay is rich with variety and the graphics are pretty damn good for a 360 game. Ubisoft really payed attention to detail . I've yet to see a game with this much content and history behind it. Finally a game that requires a bit of thinking. Thank you Ubisoft!
-
-
AndyANov 22, 2009Great game. They improved on many of the aspects that needed improvement, there is a lot more variety and the story is still intriguing. To Richard N, don't bash the game just because you have an unjustified hate for Ubisoft

Oct 2, 2010Probably the best game i've played, ever. The story is interesting and complex, the gameplay is brilliant (fixed every bad thing from the first game) and the graphics make you feel like you're really in 1500 and in Italy. Amazing.

Nov 28, 2010Its great. apart from the lackluster combat its the second* best game youl ever play. EVER.The climbings amazing and theres plenty of replay value. the story is solid and you cant stop playing it.
*to assassin's creed brotherhood -
Dec 18, 2010Assassin's Creed 2 is one of the most amazing games I have ever played. With a brilliant, complex and meaningful storyline, amazing interaction with the surrounding world and stunning graphics this is one of Ubisoft's greatest master pieces. It really seams as if you are back in the Italian Renaissance.

Nov 15, 2011this is such an amazing game that even after playing for more than 40 hours you would be hard pressed to put down the controller because of its addicting nature. Completing different quests never get old and the majesty of being an Assassin keeps the fun going.

Dec 3, 2013AC2 is without a doubt the best AC game till date. The story, the environment and the game play was the best i have played in a long time. The game takes you on a journey and one feels that he is part of that era. That's what games should be like.
-
Nov 29, 2011This game is a must buy, in my opinion the best in the series. The story is so interesting and good its crazy. The combat is pretty fun but does get repetitive. The way you can climb up stuff is so fun and the open world id amazing.

Mar 20, 2013Beatiful Story, and character most of all. It has very good graphics and gameplay is fun. It is the best in the series, and i would tell people that are interested in the AC franchise, to read what the first one was about, and play this first.
-
Apr 7, 2012This Is one of the greatest games I have ever played!
The campaign is 20 hours long,which is immense compared to other Ac Games.
The gameplay is fantastic, stabbing people has never been this much fun in any other game.
The story is also written fantastically, credit to the writers at Ubisoft.
NOBODY should miss this masterpiece. -

Sep 6, 2012What a beautiful game. I think it is at the top of my favorite games list. I start playing and playing and playing and playing........ I played Assassin's Creed 1 but AC 2 is much much much better in graphics, game play , storyline and everything. Thanks to Ubisoft for such a awesome game.

Jun 13, 2013This is without a doubt the best Assassin's Creed game! Its got a great story, great characters, and a great setting! If you're a fan of history or just action/adventure games you should definitely give this one a go!
-
Jun 19, 2013It's hard to hate Ezio. He is one of the best character ever created. And he lives in the best Assassin's Creed game there is. This improves everything about the 1st one. The combat, the stealth, the story, the location everything. To me and many other it is a masterpiece.
-
Jun 18, 2013Assassin's Creed II shows how much a game can drastically change in setting and gameplay. Ubisoft has created a world that is bigger they could have ever hoped for and should be lauded for they're accomplishment.
10 out of 10 -
Aug 21, 2013overall this game is a 10/10 must play, the gameplay is good, graphics are good, and everything about this game is brilliant defiantly one of my top 10 greatest games I have ever played in my life, and to those that think differently you're CRAZY!
-
Nov 14, 2013Once again Assassins Creed II delivers on being one of the best new franchises from Ubisoft. I give this title a 10 out of 10 and it was played on the playstation 3.
-
Jun 8, 2015The first Assassin's Game i Played, back in Aug 2010. I've played it around 3 times then on. One word- Flaw-less. The game has everything. Some might say a bit clunky game-play, but not me. For me a game needs more than one-entity. This game has a perfect beginning to a great Story line. A brilliant Central character. Awesome CGI, wonderful environment. A perfect 10/10 from me.

Jan 4, 2014I'd give this game a 9.5, but he had the best franchise history, a great evolution in graphics and gameplay of the first to him, but no better than the current titles (Assassin's III and IV) gameplay, but still deserves your respect.
-
Apr 5, 2014Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Having just moved from PS2 when first played it, it served me the best welcome to the (then) new generation. The graphics are superb, the game play is fun especially when you come down on targets with your twin blades and the cool blade sound is cued. Venice and Florence were the best looking cities but the Assassin's home-town was sort of pointless. Overall, 11/10

May 18, 2020Assassin's Creed II is a marvel in storytelling, gameplay, and historical exploration. Not to mention that Ezio Auditore is arguably the very best AC protagonist we have ever seen or cared about in recent memory. Well played Ubisoft, well played.

Jun 25, 2015The only game so far that I, as a semi-casual player, have finished it at 100%. Really lovely and fun, has improved mechanics, good story and graphics.

Apr 9, 2016Really sets the mark for the series. Great game for the series it starts the popularity and completely over turned the original's disappointing performance but this is a great game should be played by everyone. 100/100

Nov 6, 2016This Assassin`s game was the last masterpiece in the serie. In my opinion everything went downhill after this one, so when the Ezio collection comes out for Ps4 I will most likely buy it. I can recommend this game for everyone.

Mar 29, 2017This game takes me back to 2010, back when I would watch my dad play this game. I never knew what it was about, but when I went to it and played it, it's a masterpiece of a game. Nothing can beat this game, although it isn't my favorite game ever. NOTHING beats this game for me.
-
Nov 21, 2017This game is the reason I fell in love with this franchise. Beautiful world design, amazing story, and awesome characters. Took everything from the 1st and bettered it! Ezio is one of my favorite video game characters. One of the best games ever made.

Jul 20, 2020This 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. -
Oct 13, 2017AC2 is the best so far
Great Graphics, best story, awesome character, fun open world, great missions, historical character
and many more this game is highly recommended -

Jun 20, 2019Esta segunda entrega supone una mejora gigantesca respecto a la primera. Aqui la historia se desarrolla en la Italia renacentista por lo que conoceremos a algunas de las figuras mas ilustres de aquella epoca. La historia y los personajes cobran muchisima fuerza en este titulo.

May 16, 2020This game is begining of one of the most beautiful stories ever.
I loved every second of this game. Even its already 11 years old, its still looking very good.
Environment makes you feel like you are dived into 1500 Italy.
Simply Amazing. 10/10 -

Jun 21, 2020Good game they even getting older and te hemos visto por el world de la nada de la nada y encontré a la gente en 6años de los que llegaron TODAVIA a las olimpiadas y no me gusta JAJAJAJJA no se si
-
Jun 22, 2020El 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.
-
Jun 26, 2020this game is nothing but but beautiful, and amazing. i loved the story and how fun was to kill and run all around Florencia
-
Jun 29, 2020This 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.
-
Aug 1, 2020The best franchise and the best game ever ! I'm a huge fan of this game, 10/10

Playstation: The Official Magazine (US)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]
-
Playstation Official Magazine UK[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]
-
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.
