    Do not buy this game, if you have ANY desire to keep your social life intact. Once inserted into your console, you will not leave your house for days. If the incredible scenery, backed by beautiful graphics, doesn't keep you hooked. The excellent, creative and challenging gameplay will. If you still don't heed my warning; Good luck! You're going to need it.

    This game is simply one of the best I have ever played. From start to finish, it is full of a fresh variety of activities and action.

    Unlike a lot of people i loved the first game so eagerly i bought this game, if there was any flaws in the last game, they're not there now. The new Italian theme really works and the fact that there are loads of twists and turns in the long and interesting storyline, if you don't like this, please go and seek help from a doctor.

    This was a very good game that I had to play through twice fully before I could think of putting it down. It has a very smooth learning curve too so that even novice players should be able to pick it up right away. My only gripe would be that the "tutorial" section is WAY too long for multiple play throughs. Still, if that's the price I pay for a well written, engrossing story then so be it.

The repetitiveness from the 1st is completely gone and every mission flows perfectly.

Each video clip continues off of the last one to reveal "The truth". Quite addicting and massive. MUST BUY!… Expand

    This game is not perfect, but it is what we all wanted the first one to be. The environment is absolutely outstanding, with beautiful graphics of Ubisoft's version of Venice. The mixture of Italian and English is incredibly well-done. The mechanics are similar to the first game, but enhanced and polished for a much deeper and more expansive experience. This is what a sequel should be.

    Pros: * Ezio has an origin story. And likeable personality. Bene! It makes the game so much more congruent. * Most of the Ezio's friends are great too. It's a Mario! Leonardo. Machiavelli.

    * Most of the Ezio's friends are great too. It's a Mario! Leonardo. Machiavelli. Bene!
    * Florence is beautiful. After the game I was able to recognize the sights during my real trip to Italy.
    * The cities are designed better to run around and climb stuff.
    * The onboarding of the first two hours is so smooth and well done. Maybe this game w/o an open world would be even a better game.
    * The ending breaking the fourth wall in a sense is mesmerising. First time I saw this trick in videogames.
    * In general, now this game has great side missions. Especially the one with climbing inside the churches. Delicious.
    * The view point has much more diversity now. They get repetitive midway. But first 10 are a blast.
    * The Carnaval!

    Cons:
    * The targets and the assassinations themselves are meh. This game kinda has the Marvel movies problem. All the effort went to good guys.
    * The controls and camera are not tight enough. Even after 20+ hours the race missions feel forced and annoying. Same goes for complex jumps during puzzles. And Venice suffers because of that the most. It's just not fun to run around.
    * Some side missions feel undercooked and bugged. Especially, the ship ones. Both the templar shipyard platforming one and the merchant stealth-kill-on-a-ship one were awful. With NPCs freezing. And controls making me fail and start over again and again and again.
    * Achievement to collect 100 feathers w/o in-game hints. Ubisoft, it's not as bad as 400 flags from AC1, but it's still very-very bad.
    * Why do they need to hide HUD when you enable eagle vision?
    * I played the game on Series X as part of Ezio collection and 4K and time are not kins to this game. You can clearly see how NPCs popup in thin air and the low-res textures on the buildings further away. To some extent this rough edges are even more visible than in AC1 sue to overall better colors and contrast in the game.    … Expand

    Me pillé la Xbox 360 por este juego y solo por este aunque luego viniesen más.
    Me quedé fascinado con la ambientación de la Italia de aquella época,sabía que este juego había pegado fuerte pero nunca me imaginé que llegaría a tanto y mucho menos a gustarme por que era reticente a jugar a este tipo de juegos y este me eliminó prejuicios.

    In assassin's creed 2 you play as ezio auditore which is a great character that you will most likely fall in love with while playing this game. It has an amazing story that will keep you invested from start to finnish. The diffrent cities are beautiful and have diffrent soundtracks witch makes each and every place fun to roam around and explore in. Ac 2 is worth your time so play it. :)

    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

    This game rescues the essence of your predecessor, improving the system of battle that was a poor point of AC and giving us the great Ezio, that really embraces the serie.

    An enormous improvement from Assassin's Creed I in terms of gameplay, and a great sequel as a story.

    Pros: - You cannot randomly jump from building to building randomly without thinking, because one wrong jump from rooftop to ground will deplete Ezio's life a great deal. This is an improvement from AC1, where you could jump around mindlessly. - There is more humor in the dialog,    An enormous improvement from Assassin's Creed I in terms of gameplay, and a great sequel as a story.

    Pros:

    - You cannot randomly jump from building to building randomly without thinking, because one wrong jump from rooftop to ground will deplete Ezio's life a great deal. This is an improvement from AC1, where you could jump around mindlessly.

    - There is more humor in the dialog, and also the English is easier to understand compared to AC1 because this is 200 years later.

    - The game contains interesting characters, and also nicely develops Ezio as a character from the beginning of the game. The game gives you as the player an urge to defeat the Templars and those responsible for Ezio father's death with emotional cut-scenes and dialogs.

    - There is a large improvement in graphics from AC1.

    - The kingdom is a lot more open compared to AC1.

    - "The Truth" gives the game a very deep mystery. It is a great way of motivating gamers to complete the game(s) in order to know more about the plot.

    - Supporting characters throughout the game are very interesting and humorous. They all possess unique personalities.

    - The incentive and story behind each mission is more exciting and less boring than AC1.

    - The story.

    Cons:

    - At times when the game needs you to get through obstacles fast either chasing after someone or doing a time trial, Ezio does not jump exactly where you want him. The place you want to jump to needs to be positioned precisely.

    - You cannot make Ezio do a small/medium jump off a platform. It is either drop straight down or jump as far as he can.    … Expand

These two sequences break the pacing of the narrative, are a slog, are confusing, and feel irrelevant.

    When the first sequence of missions ends and the title screen rolls, I immediately knew and felt that this game was something special. The game was never repetitive and continuously improvised, improved, and inspired with the interplay of historical fact, mission diversity, and plot development.

    It's a game that instills a strong set of values, elevated the scene of graphics and scale in a mixed open-world and linear game. Everything about this game is liable to excite, entertain, and impress. A delightful experience.

    Assassin's Creed 2, with one of the greatest characters in video game history, with a coherent and powerful moral story, and with a sense of fluidity rivaled only by other great games like Ocarina of Time and others, is a master piece and easily one of the top five greatest video games of all time.    … 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.
