    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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    This is the best Assassins Creed I have ever played. The story, the characters, the setting and the gameplay are amazing. This game has everything you could want in an Assassins Creed and for me the best game of 2009 and the best Assassins Creed. If you are a fan of the Assassins Creed saga you will love this game.

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

    Assassin's Creed is one of my favorite franchises of all time, however this game is not my favorite l, but it's definitely one of the best games in the series.

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.… Expand

    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.
