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.

The original Assassin's Creed has been one of the most striking and divisive games of the generation so far. Some were won over by its unique setting, innovative controls and impeccable Free Running, whilst others chastised its lack of mission variety and the absence of an opportunity to meaningfully interact with the game world. A fair summary would probably fall somewhere in between the two, but there's no denying that it was one of the most potential-laden games of the last few years, driven by some of the most impressive and powerful tech to have graced the PS360. Assassin's Creed II is without doubt one of the most exponentially improved sequels in modern gaming memory. Ubisoft Montreal have obviously listened to user feedback, made improvements in a multitude of ways and developed a sequel with pacing and depth that the first game unquestionably lacked. As someone who wasn't a particular fan of the original, this game is probably the nicest surprise and best use of its source premise this year alongside the excellent Batman: Arkham Asylum. Taking place in 15th Century Renaissance Italy this time as opposed to Third Crusade-era Israel, ACII casts the player as young ruffian nobleman Ezio Auditore on his various misadventures around the city; brawling with a rival family, running errands for his father and stealing illicit visits to his girlfriend. Before long his family is disgraced and his relatively carefree lifestyle is turned upside down as he uncovers his father's legacy and takes the fight to their betrayers. While the original game was very structured in its design - 'nine people must be killed, here is how it must be accomplished' - ACII flows much more smoothly, with a more interesting plot concerning the Auditore family and their enemies, and far superior pacing which isn't simply about killing faceless villains. The game world is excellent, and like the first game, it's encouraging to see the interpretation of such a unique and distinctive environment as historic Italy amongst all the po-faced modern day New Yorks. The major cities of Florence, Tuscany and Venice feature, with a smaller town acting as a hub of sorts where Ezio can train, invest in town regeneration and unlock both the family Auditore and the assassins' secrets. The cities each sport an individual feel, with the golden architecture of Florence contrasting against Tuscany's dull stone and Venice's flamboyant visual style. There are some indoor 'Assassin's Tombs' to be discovered around the countryside, which are linear and recall designs from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which again pleasingly juxtaposes with the open-ended environs elsewhere. ACII most successfully sets itself apart from its predecessor in the small details. An economy is implemented which allows for a few different types of shop and introduces some RPG-lite elements -- for instance, Ezio can purchase armour upgrades which increase his health meter, he can purchase maps which reveal locations of hidden treasure chests and he can carry medicine vials for use on the road. These options and details also manifest themselves in the combat; he can fight guards at the risk of prematurely raising the alarm, or alternatively he could hire a group of courtesans to use their womanly charms to distract them. The whole aspect is implemented on a fairly basic level, but it brings and element of depth and variety that the first game desperately needed, and searching dead guards for Florins to buy Ezio some new bracelets or a different coloured outfit is often compulsive and very welcome. The plot in Assassin's Creed was always structured to be the first part of a franchise, and the story picks up here exactly where that left off, with Desmond and Lucy escaping from Abstergo before meeting more assassin allies and delving into Ezio's world to find more answers in the battle against the Templars. The voice work on the Italian characters is generally well done and feels authentic, but the modern-day characters suffer from poor scripting and largely uninterested or irritating voiceovers. To be honest the plot is still a load of implausible sci-fi nonsense and it would probably be more entertaining if they abolished the whole Animus aspect and just concentrated on the historical characters. Technically speaking, ACII is very impressive in almost every regard. The stellar animation is its crowning glory, with lots of extremely detailed characters and excellent effects such as a day/night cycle and a stable frame rate. There is a fair amount of screen tearing, but the city feels busy and alive, with dozens of NPCs often on screen at any time. Enemy AI is often a little suspect, allowing the player to murder guards next to their fellows who take seconds to react, but at other times they can be fairly astute, following Ezio up to rooftops and calling to their fellows once he's spotted. The horizon distance is excellent - get to a high point and you can literally observe the whole city, and although each area is broken by a fairly forgivable loading screen, the need for them is very infrequent. Overall, there's not a huge amount to criticise in Assassin's Creed II, and I can't remember the last time I played a sequel which had improved so successfully over its flawed-but-potential-laden predecessor. This game has clearly been the result of a tremendously talented development team listening to feedback and giving gamers what they wanted - namely more variety and more depth. The excellent gameplay of the first game has made the transition, and now it has the brains to go with its impeccable looks and presentation. It has been a busy year for third-person action adventures, but ACII can comfortably sit at the front of the pack with the likes of Uncharted 2 and Batman. An exemplary sequel.

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.

I have to admit from the out set, I am a massive fan of the Creed games so I will try my best not to taint my review with fan boy chatter. Over all this was a very fun game, graphic where top notch, the game play itself was very easy to pick up. Now you don’t need to buy the first game to play this one but it will help a little in the story, but it’s not overly important. If you have played the first game this maybe a little disappointing in how easy it was. But this game has many levels of improvement over its past. Visually it is stunning and the side missions are fun, the lead character is lovable rouge and the story has just enough to keep you hooked to the end. The awards for playing this game are easy to come by and overall im going to mark it a very generous 8 out of 10. Great to rent and to buy, it is one of my suggested games for any buyer or rental a lot of fun and has a good after life for awhile.

I got this game to try as I had heard a lot about it and thought it may be worth a look. I have not played the first one but I think I will be investing in it as this game is one of the best games I have played for a long time. Does remind me of Prince of Persia and is made by the same developers but that is where it ends as this game has lots more to offer. Jumping across the rooftops of Italy and getting involved in the storyline it is hard to fault this game. One of the few games I have ever found hard to put down and even my fiancee commented on how good the game looked. If you are not sure about this I advise you to try it because like I did you will not be disappointed. Now when is the third installment coming out.......

Huge improvement on the original. I liked AC1, but this offers so much more. The story is more immersive, and the graphics are a huge step up. Plus the gameplay has taken in a huge amount of improvement, and the game still feels slick and stylish. There is no feeling like assassinating 2 guards at once with dual hidden blades while another looks on horrified. The era it is set in is also a nice change, and provides a fresh look at the game. The missions are good fun, and each has a slightly different way to complete it. Plus the game has gotten rid of the whole 'do 4 side quests then take out the main guy and go to another city, rinse and repeat' process from the first one, and now you can advance through the game at your own pace. Also the side quests are a lot more varied and fun, and fit in nicely with the game. My other problem with AC1 was the collections you could complete, while not 100% neccessary, there were a lot of them (Templar kills, flag captures and feathers iirc) and now there are only feathers. Plus an improved system wherte you can use accumulated wealth to improve your home town, buy new weapons and more makes the game much more enjoyable.
