Assassin's Creed 2 is the follow up to the critical and commercial hit "Assassin's Creed." It follows the same basic story line, continuing after the events of the original. However, this time you instead of playing as assassin Altair, you will step into the shoes of Enzio, a wealthy young adult in Renaissance Italy.
One of the greatest parts of this game is the history, and there is much of it to be had. For instance, during assassination attempts and various cut-scenes, you will not only meet plenty of famous Renaissance figures, but be able to read a background on them too. This seems boring, but it really makes you feel like you're playing amidst not only real, but important people.
The main complaint in AC1 was the lack on variety and the short game length. This is entirely fixed in AC2 however. Not only is the battle system redone, but there are plenty of things off the beaten path that you can do in between flashbacks that will add hours onto your gameplay time. For instance, you now can be a main investor in a small city, eventually bringing it from rubble to a respected economic center. As you invest into upgrading buildings, you will get discounts and the buildings, as well as a cut of the profits. With this money you can buy plenty of new armor and weapons, as well as fun add-ons like art for your mansion and treasure maps to find extra gold scattered around each town.
The graphics and sound in this game are also fantastic. From the shadows off roofs, to huge landscapes will an unreal viewing distance, to the water in the rivers running through to towns, everything looks absolutely gorgeous, especially if your TV supports 1080p HiDef.
This game keeps you in your chair from beginning to end, including a huge twist at the end guaranteed to make you gasp. AC2 is improves and leaps and bounds over its predecessor, and with new content unlockable via Xbox Live, even more fun can be had if you manage to complete all of the offline content.
5/5
