Assassin's Creed II (PS3) Description

All is not what it seems in the pristine and fabulous time of Renaissance Italy. Noblemen and families command a great deal of respect, which allows for a world of corruption, greed and murder to take place underneath the social surface. When Italian nobleman Ezio Auditore ad Firenze's family gets betrayed he aims to seek vengeance against the corrupt class that once suited him. With nowhere to turn to satiate his anger, Ezio turns to the ways of the assassin to teach his foes a lesson. It is through new hero Ezio you experience Assassin's Creed II, with improved gameplay features over the original 2007 hit that aims to surprise and challenge your skill. Missions can now be accessed whenever you like and you can approach them in whichever way you please, with an open world that promotes free-running and human acrobatics to evade capture. With new locations you get new methods of blending in with the crowd, and new weapons to take advantage of. In Assassin's Creed II, every character is an opportunity for the player, and working with NPCs may reveal something surprising, depending on exactly what their true nature is. Help Ezio learn to become a true master assassin, know how best to disarm and assassinate enemies and once again be the most nimble stealth killer with the aid of your hidden blades.

After the utterly anti-climactic ending in the original Assassin's Creed, I was dubious, yet also curious about the sequel. It's only after hearing that this was a massive improvement over the original that I decided to give it a go...and for the most part it's great! In this sequel, you take control of Ezio, an Assassin roaming Rennaisance Italy seeking to avenge his family. Graphically, the game is gorgeous, with lush countryside, atmospheric lighting, and good character models that improve on the original. The plot is also more interesting here, as you actually feel for your character and those around you; you no longer feel like an anonymous hitman killing people who mean nothing to you. Also adding depth to the game are the abilities to buy equipment, paintings etc, upgrade buildings in your family villa and various mini-games such as races, beating up specified individuals, or courier missions. While there is more depth here, and the storyline is genuinely intriguing, ACII has failed to improve in several ways as well. The combat system, which was fresh at the time of the first AC, has remained the same and now pales when compared to something like Batman: Arkham Asylum. Some of the platforming elements, such as when you try to get treasure from Assassin tombs, are far too long and drawn out, as is climbing up towers and 'syncing' areas. Overall, this is a huge improvement on the original and has a deep, perhaps overly-twisted storyline that will draw you in. Worth a long rental but not sure about buying as I can't see much lasting appeal after the game's been completed.

The original Assassins creed was a great game, but had some flaws. Assassins creed 2 is a much better game, even though it's not changed dramatically. There's a change of scenary as you're in Italy, not the holy lands, and the story this time round has a deeper plot. You even get Da Vinci as you're best mate, how cool is that? Gameplay wise they've tweaked it, you get a Villa to customise and the whole package is a lot shiny-er. Check this game out, as it's the best sandbox game for a while.

"Nothing is true; everything is permitted." We learned this adage in the original Assassin's Creed, and Assassin's Creed II carries on the tradition beautifully, inspiring you to rethink the conspiracy at the heart of the series--and to reconsider what you should expect from a sequel. The franchise's second console outing is an impressive piece of work. Developer Ubisoft Montreal has addressed almost all of Assassin's Creed's flaws by filling its follow-up with fresh and enjoyable mission types and layering on new and mostly excellent features, while still retaining the joy of movement and atmospheric wonder that characterized the original. These enhancements range from the subtle (you can swim now) to the game-changing (there's an economy), but aside from a few small missteps, every tweak makes for a more enjoyable, more engaging adventure. The cohesive story and a terrific new character will draw you in, and you aren't apt to forget the memorable and explosive ending that will have you eager for the third instalment. At first, Assassin's Creed II might seem as if it has added more than its foundation was meant to handle, but once all the new features are completely introduced, it develops that magic that so few games can cast. This is the rare sequel that offers fans of the original the basics they would expect, while adding and changing so many other aspects that even those who didn't appreciate the first should take the plunge, without hesitation. A few more contrivances notwithstanding, Assassin's Creed II is a better game than its forebear and is a beautiful and memorable experience on its own terms. But it's more than just a game--it's an escape to a place and a time that feel so welcoming, you'll be making return trips even after your initial adventure is over.

There was indeed a lot wrong, and a lot right about the first Assassin's Creed, and this sequel does certainly put a lot of things right, whilst still leaving an odd problem here and there. Whilst the game is by no means perfect, the story and level design put together this time are certainly where this sequel is streets ahead of it's predecessor. AC II is a beautiful game to look at and play. Each area of Italy, in particular Venice, are truly outstanding locations, filled with all sorts of items and missions for you to collect and complete, each encouraging deep exploration of the area using all of your free running and climbing skills. This helps in ensuring that completists aiming for all of the objects, really do see a lot of the games maps, wringing out every little last square foot of area to look at and vastly extending the period of your time with this game. The story that weaves it all together, combined with the wonderfully complex (and sometimes slightly obscure) puzzles, really gripped me the entire way through. The AC II team have certainly given themselves "artistic licence" shall we say, with some of the real characters from our history that have permeated themselves within the story, heavily involving themselves sometimes with your character, Ezio. I won't spend the review giving away this great little story, but I will say that anyone reasonably intelligent will really hook into it and see the shock and guffaw factors for all they are. Some of the problems that still plague the title are slightly imprecise free running and climbing controls, resulting in Ezio jumping in a direction you didn't press, sometimes killing you. It happened enough for me to certainly mention it in a review, but it didn't ruin the game for me. Some of the fighting is still a little unrealistic, but still fun. It's still very easy to take enemies down with a well times counter strike as they attack, but they have added many other ways of working in parries and counters with other stronger enemies, to make taking them down a little more interesting. Yes, it's weird that they still only attack one at a time, but as a game mechanic to make the game fun, it works, so I can't rat on it for losing realism because of it. It is supposed to be a fun game after all. There are lots of armor and weapon upgrades you can buy which will extend your health and make your strikes on foes more deadly, and you can also visit tailors to have your garments died a new colour if you fancy it. Your health this time does not recharge on it's own, per se. If you take a hit and one of your energy "cells" completely depletes, it won't fill back up without a medpack or visit to the doctors, however, if you take a hit and it only depletes part of that cell, and you manage not to take a hit for a few seconds, this cell alone will fill back up [hope that makes sense!]. So - you do end up buying a lot of medpacks to carry around and use, but it's OK because you'll soon be making lots of money in the game to buy them without worrying about depleting cash. One of the interesting ways you do this is buying art from the merchants in each city. Each valuable painting you buy will add value to one of the bases you establish in Monteriggioni, so every 20 minutes in game, you receive some funds into a chest in the property that you can collect. Your cashflow will soon swell, allowing you to buy the more expensive armor and weapons. As well as the art at the merchants, you will find treasure maps in each city, and you will spend a LOT of time going round and collecting the florins (the in game currency) from each chest, again, really expanding that bank balance you have. You can expect all sorts of side missions from beating up cheating husbands to freerunning races and courier tasks. You will find pickpockets and mailmen in each city, and if you give chase and catch them, you can take quite a few florins from them also. Pickpocketing yourself earns you extra wedge, but it also puts up your notoriety, which is handled in this game so much better than the first... You can tear down wanted posters to remove notoriety, as well as pay off local politicians and assassinate important officials quietly, to reduce this and making moving round the city easier between the guards. When they are on alert chasing you, it's much the same as the first game, run out of line of sight as far as you can and hide! Overall, they have made massive progress in this sequel, and whilst it's not perfect at all and has some programming bugs and glitches, it's a simply amazing game. Game of the year for me so far, it's really that good.

Hmmm... where do I begin... Graphically = Very good Animation = Could have been better, chracters look a little too fake.... Uncharted 2 pushed the boundary, as did Gears of War 2..... AC2 still needs some polishing Controls = still got that single button bashing with a few grabs..... needs to be more action packed Gameplay = This is the main problem for me....i stopped playing AC1 after getting 75% way through cos it was very very repetetive..... Here in AC2.... there are a few more challenges and a better storyline.... BUT still very very very repeteteive..... jumping, delivering, dodging, stealing....etc...... ....So all in all..... a game I might give up playing after 3 hours..... I expected more...I got little.....
