    Шла 5 неделя карантина.
    Удивительно,игра для 2009 просто превосходна.Она одна из любимых моих частей.Но есть один минус , щас все расскажу.
    Сюжет - Впринципе , хороший и не нудный,разве что не понравилось ,что у нас есть связь с настоящим миром и что ГГ с помощью машины перемещается и изменяет прошлое. Геймплей - Есть одно но - управление.Стандартное управление очень неудобное ,а во    Шла 5 неделя карантина.

    Есть также несколько плащей ,что не плохо.Спасибо,что не за донат
    И так,это одна из моих любимых частей.Но юбисофт перестала делать такие годные части - последнюю часть,которую они показали вообще не связана с ассасинами.И если у вас есть лишнее время,обязательно пройдите эту игру,я думаю у вас , как у меня , останутся положительные эмоции.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Voila ce qu'un deuxième épisode d'une saga doit être, un nouvelle assassin (Ezio Auditore qui est aujourd'hui un personnage culte), une nouvelle époque( le 15 eme siècle en Italie, plus précisément a florence puis a Venise), la suite de l'histoire dans le présent qui se distille petit a petit.

    parlons d'Ezio, qui est l'opposé de ce qu’était Altair, ce nouvelle assassin n'en est pas un dès le début et a tendance a s'attiré des ennuis du a ces frasques avec la gente féminine et a tendance a prendre tout a la rigolade. les événements qui se produiront par la suite vont complètement changé le personnage (la mort de son père et de ses frères) vont l'obligé a agir et c'est suite a ce drame qu'il découvrira que son père était un assassin, s'ensuit une quêté de revanche face au templier qui aboutira a un combat a Rome (ce qui nous tease le prochain épisode).

    les villes ont chacun leur identité malgré ce gris qu'on peut ressentir de temps en temps (Venise est tout simplement somptueux), les missions sont très diversifié ( les missions de Da Vinci, la mission pendant le bal de Venise) les antagoniste sont intéressant (les Pazzi sont plutôt cool, Rodrigo Borgia qui dirige tout cela d'une main de maître) et bien sur le gameplay qui a évolué, nous pouvons maintenant recruté des dame de joie, des voleurs et des bandits pour nous aidé tout au long du jeu moyennant quelques florins, on peut bousculé les passants lorsqu'on veut se frayer un chemin a travers la foule, l'acquisition d'un pistolet, les assassinats exécutables par le haut , par les bottes de foin et même suspendus a un balcon.

    on peut également rafistolé notre villa a Monteriggioni et acheté des échoppes qui nous permettrons de bénéficié de réductions sur les armes et armures (qui sont aussi une nouveauté du jeu )

    tout cela pour dire que ce deuxième Assassin Creed a corrigé la plupart des défaut du 1 et reste aujourd'hui comme l'un des meilleurs épisode de la série pour moi!!    … Expand

    I loved the perfect design, the brilliant rendition of the historical epoch and the beauty of Italian cities. I had been to Florence and Venice myself, and I had a déjà vu when walking in some places in game.
    The often tedious gameplay is well offset by a great plot and art. Anyone should play this before proceeding to the latest games of the series.

I often saw bugs in the game. One of the bugs caused one NPC to be skinless. From that NPC there were only hair, eyes, teeth with a mouth and clothes. But that's not the point. The main bug is Deleting the save date. This happened three times in completing the game, although I did not download the pirated version. That's why I didn't put 10, but 9 is also very good, isn't it?… Expand

    Overall excellent game. Stealth gameplay is the star. A simple but diverse stealth toolkit combined with intricately designed levels and a beautiful, unique setting leads to one of the best and most expansive stealth games ever made. You can see why it set the formula for years to come.

    A great game letdown by dated gameplay controls and an underdeveloped engine. The LOD loading in this game is a great immersion killer.

The gameplay has been tweaked to good effect, with far more weapons, armour, and decorative capes around. You even get to go into the world of real estate not too long after the games start. Combat is more rewarding this time around, with dodging made possible, and combos more deadly. One of the few things people might consider a flaw would be the endless amount of content here. Although, after getting 1000/1000, which means doing pretty much... everything... can't complain. Some long, repetitive platforming elements pop up here and there in gameplay, but Ubisoft have tried to improve them. It's a very strong, beautiful world from Ubisoft. Highly recommended.… Expand

    I scored this game an 8.

    I did so because like AC1 this game has an excellent storyline, and thoroughly interesting universe to play in and learn about. Ezio is also a much more fleshed out and interesting character than Altair in AC1. Another thing the writers did fantastically in this game is humour which is exceedingly hard to write you know and it made me laugh out loud many times    I scored this game an 8.

    This earns it the extra point I gave it over AC1.

    Unfortunately while the game play is improved in places as fighting is no longer as difficult or annoying to engage in it still remains exceedingly frustrating and is literally something you suffer through for the dialogue, universe, and storyline. I know again it makes sense given who Ezio is (he is more the warrior archetype compared with Altair's rogue and being that he mows through enemies because of that makes sense) but it is still a pain.

    Again like AC1, if you haven't bought it. Do so. You won't regret it.    … 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.
