    Depois de ter jogado o primeiro jogo, fiquei com uma expectativa muito baixa com esse jogo. Mas, foi um absurdo de surpreendente de tão bom! Diferente do primeiro, o personagem vivido antigamente, é um personagem muito mais carismático que o próprio Altair.
    História simplesmente épica, com personagens muito bons.

    Проделана огромная работа на ошибками, большинство недостатков было исправлено, первый и возможно единственный крутой AС в серии.

    Really good AC-Game. Gameplay wise there are a lot of improvements to AC. But I did not like the story as much as before.

    El videojuego es mucho mejor que el titulo anterior. Es porque con más presupuesto usaron otro motor gráfico. La jugabilidad es casi la misma con mejoras, ya se puede nadar en el agua o en los ríos de Italia. La época del renacimiento está bien, el enfrentar a los Medicis, a Sabonarola, a Rodrigo Borgia. Y el conocer a Da Vinci, a Catherina Esforza, ver más de la hermandad es un acierto.El videojuego es mucho mejor que el titulo anterior. Es porque con más presupuesto usaron otro motor gráfico.

    In English
    The video game is much better than the previous title. It's because with more budget they used another graphic engine. The gameplay is almost the same with improvements; you can already swim in the water or in the rivers of Italy. The Renaissance period is fine, facing the Medicis, Sabonarola, and Rodrigo Borgia. And knowing Da Vinci, Catherina Esforza, seeing more of the brotherhood is a success. The final fight is a duel with a clean fist with the antagonist, and the final revelation amazes.    … Expand

    Amazing game. Just feels so real. My brother walked by as I was playing and he said that it looked so real that he thought it was a movie at first. (and he is a gamer as well) just a beautifully made game, really polished. great story and great scale. It makes you feel as if you are really in italy, and is much more exciting than the first AC.

    I thought Assassin's Creed II was a great game. Definitely better then the first game. ACII had smoother climbing mechanics and controls. Refined combat system. Great story. And adding in armor and weapons and the ability to upgrade them was just a brilliant idea. The characters were also well developed, especially Ezio.

    A huge improvement from the first game which characters with much bigger personalities (Ezio),Until the end the story it's very fun (with it's fair share of annoying following missions). But this game shines with it's great presentation and fluid game play that future installments have yet to improve on and has made it slightly worse since this game. This is a must have.

    This is one of those games nobody can skip, even if they don't like it in the end. With incredible graphics, game-play, story, and soundtrack, this is easily one of the best games I've ever played, and also one of my favorites. It could be considered a classic too.

    Learning the controls was overwhelming for me. There were simply too many things I could do and nothing held my hand until I had committed them to memory. The parkour was slow as I fumbled at trying to find handholds.

    Assassin's Greed 2 is an awesome game. The storyline is beatifull and very long. The voiceacting and graphics are decent.

    This game is from a time when the franchise still had a soul.....and oh boy what a soul.
    The entire experience is fascinating thanks to an amazing atmosphere, cool characters and a great story. The Italian renaissance is an amazing setting for a game like this,far more interesting than the American revolution from assassins creed 3.
    This game is a gem,a must own.

    It´s not as easy as the subsequent ones and it the missions aren't as boring and repetitive as in the previous one. It has a perfect mix and one of the most charismatic protagonists out there. The story is very nice and there are two sequences, which really touched : The first is at the very beginning, when Ezio, the main character and his brother are standing on the church and the epic music comes. The second almost made me cry, when Ezio had to see the hanging of his family, but his mother and sister :(    … Expand

    The first Assassin's Creed's charm was in the sumptuous graphics and straightforward action - that incredible climbing and free-running, and the visceral thrill of stapling evil people to the dirt with a wristblade. With AC2 the rest of the game has caught up with the brilliance of those central ideas to create a complete and coherent experience. We can think of plenty of words that could describe Assassin's Creed 2 - involving, exciting, cinematic - but there's only one word that sums it up beautifully. Killer. [Dec 2009, p.74]

    Assassin's Creed 2 is miles away form the first chapter. It's a whole new game, different in many aspects. The main quest is involving and nice to play, and the number of side mission and extra activities is impressive (and all of them are fun to play). The setting is peculiar and unique, and the panoramic views are sharp and, somehow, magic.

    Assassin's Creed II delivers a great story driven experience. Solving most of the problems of its predecessor, this accomplished sequel offers compelling action, beautiful environments and a great plethora of well written characters. A must have for every action-adventure fan with a taste for history, and one of the best games of this fall.
