This game is a great leap forward for the series and probably the first time I can truly say I've enjoyed a sequel much more than an original. The story truly continues from where the first game left off, answers the questions from the first game up front and leads you into a new storylne very appropriately, while still leaving you wanting to know more about the story of the character you are playing. The controls are much improved from the first game, the combat is much better and more adaptive than the original, and the side challenges and achievements are actually worth something to your character and the storyline (not just miscellaneous fluff like the flags in the first game).
What's great about it: Starts right where the first game ended, continues the story and improves upon the total gaming experience

This is my first time into this series, I did not play AC1. I decided to get AC2 since the story sounded interesting and everyone said 2 was way better than 1. The graphics are stunning. The cities are enormous. There are enough side missions to keep you occupied for a very long time. Or if you just want to explore the cities causing mayhem along the way, you can do that too. The storyline missions aren't just a run and gun type mission. They take planning. You can't just bust up into the place to assassinate your target and expect to survive long. This is definitely a must have game and I look forward to Revelations coming out soon.
What's great about it: Lots of stuff to do, amazing graphics
What's not so great: Load times can get a bit tedious, takes a LONG time to travel around cities since they are so large
This product has... Like to replay, Excessive violence

I have not purhcased this game yet but, Ih ave played it on my friend's PS3 and it was amazing. I mean the graphics were stunning as well as ezio doing moves such as jumping from building to building and killing guards. It is worth $30.00 and I think this game should be voted game of the year for 2009.

I'm glad they made a 2nd, and now a 3rd one. This is much better than the last one.
It's a long game and definitely worth the money to buy.
What's great about it: Everything. Especially stabbing a guy in the back fighting an ally.
What's not so great: Feathers should be highlighted too...what a pain.

I just bought this game recently and I can't get away from it! I'm a huge fan of "open world" or "sandbox" style video games and this one, for me, stands close to the top!!! I love the story taking place in the late 1400's, it's a time period not usually depicted in video games and the graphic design and gameplay really give you a great and realistic feel of Italy in that time period. The storyline is excellent, great characters, beautifully written with emotional intensity. Of course combat variety really gives the game a powerful edge. And the abilty to free run and explore makes the game more accessable because you don't have to follow the story everytime you play, you can do side mission or explore the land... up to you!!! Overall, excellent game! 5 stars all the way!!! Can't wait for the next one coming soon!!! Highly recommended!
What's great about it: Too much great stuff to type in this little text box...
What's not so great: Nothing

The first Assassins Creed had amazing gameplay and a very interesting storyline, however it was very repetitive and the gameplay never really developed throughout the story.
AC2 corrected this problem by changing the gameplay throughout the game, introducing the ability to purchase new weapons and armor, and incorporating a variety of side challenges that truly added to the game.
This is by far one of the best games I have ever played.
What's great about it: Gameplay, storyline, challenges
What's not so great: The ending (don't want to give it away!)

Quality game. A little confusing at first as this is the first of this series that I have played. The cut-scenes are what bogs this game down, but are necessary for the storyline I suppose. Quality graphics. It is sometimes fun to just free-run around.
What's great about it: free-run
What's not so great: cut scenes, voice actors

This game is absolutely awesome. A terrific story, a MASSIVE free-roaming land, and great graphics. There's not much more you can ask for in a game. It's one of the few games I've picked up recently that I had to keep playing until I finished it. The puzzle aspects of the game are challenging but not frustrating. My only slight complaint is that the controls can sometimes be annoying (I found myself flying off a building a couple times by accident), but that doesn't deter me at all. Pick this game up!
What's great about it: Graphics, Storyline, HUGE maps
What's not so great: Controls can be a bit touchy at times

I enjoyed AC so much i would just run around on the rooftops for hours i mean how fun is that parkour in rome! that is freaking sweet! This game is even better than the first there are a few flaws in the game but they arent even noticable for the average gamer. The story is compelling and original the missions are always fun and challenging, but the graphics and the gameplay are what makes the game top notch. Seriously the best part is running on rooftops. its not like prince of persia where the running/jumping mechanics are tediouos and annoying. THis game is just a lot of fun! and it takes a very long time to get old. You have to play it just to try it out, but buy the first one first it only takes about 7 hours to beat and then you can start on this one! And AC3 is going to be really cool with the onlie feature any gamer could appreciate! Check it out!
What's great about it: Parkour in rome. (running on buildings)
What's not so great: some sloppy swordplay but its hardly noticable.

Now when I say intense I mean the cut-scenes are. Any way this game is full of action packed adventure as you climb obstacles, jump from log to log to get to your target. Very exciting, and fun. Worth the money.
What's great about it: Seems like actions are limitless
What's not so great: Short campaign

This is a great sequel to a good game. Assassins Creed I was a game with a great story and fun things to do..but it does get repetitive. Assassins Creed II is even better, with more to do, more to see, and more to learn about the Assassins Creed universe. There is Downloadable Content for this game also, which expands the games life (so to speak).

This is a decent game for those who like Renaissance historical fiction, parkour mechanics, and/or wholly-disproportionate revenge-taking. Other folks, especially those who have not played the original Assassin's Creed may want to steer clear or wait for it to go on a huge sale, because you'll be helpless to understand what the devil is going on here, plot-wise. The game's best moments are spent negotiating clever environmental puzzles and sneaking stealthily around corridors to deftly fell bad guys; unfortunately there's surprisingly little of that sort of thing for a game about an agile assassin. There's much, much more just running around town offing people in broad daylight, like some kind of a 15th century Grand Theft Auto.
What's great about it: Good value for money, interesting if bizarre story, fun run/climb mechanics
What's not so great: Not much to do but kill, kill, kill, story is indecipherable to anyone who didn't play original AC
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was not a huge fan of the first Assassin's Creed. They got a lot of things right, but after a while it just seemed like the missions repeated themselves and before long it became kind of a chore to continue playing. So I got rid of it without ever finishing. This game is what Assassin's Creed SHOULD have been. As an independent game designer, I am consistently blown away by the care and attention that every aspect of this game has received. That's not to say that it doesn't have its faults- the opening scene, for example, is boring and unnecessary- but what it gets wrong is NOTHING compared to what it gets right. I wish all games had the polish that this one does. It's a true work of art, and I'd recommend it to anyone- whether you're a fan of the 3rd person sneak-around genre or not, this game is an awesome experience.
What's great about it: Depth of play and overall polish lead to an immersive experience in a vibrant, rich game world.
What's not so great: Can't skip cut scenes.
I would recommend this to a friend!

When I first bought this game I was a little unsure of it at first because allthough I liked the first one I was hoping that the second one would be better. Fourtunatly I got my wish. When I first started playing the game I was amazed at how sharp all of the grafics were, and I found myself getting lost in just the amazing scenary of Italy. I would definatly say that it is 10 times better than the first one.
What's great about it: The graphics are amazingly real and you feel like you are right in the game with all of the characters
What's not so great: fighting is still very monotone....you only need one button to fight
