Featured reviews
The plot is so much more rich and intricately interwoven with brilliant and even hilarious dialogue, and multi-layered conspiracies. Excellent character development lets you emphasize with the main character (this holds true for Ezio as well as Desmond).
The visuals seem to be more detailed than before, and the sounds are as good as ever.
The inclusion of a monetary system was a great idea, adding much more tactics to the game.
The gameplay mechanic has improved vastly with smarter and tougher enemies, more moves and tactics for your character, and so on.
The game was always challenging, but never frustrating, which is very awesome.
If you were even remotely impressed by the preceding title, you should at least check the sequel out.
They have taken care of many comments, which many players had including me. They have dealt with the repetition in AC1, there is limited repetition, where the story is much smoother and different. They have dealt with the fact that a great assassin jumping from building to building could not swim, now the assassin can swim wherever he desires. The graphics have been enhanced. There are more weapons to use and not limited to the sword, assassination blade and throwing knives.
I would say that Ubisoft should be very proud for being able to create such a great game. We will definitely be waiting for Assassin's Creed 3.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe map symbols for Templar Lairs are actually that of the Knights Hospitallier.
- GoofsLeonardo Da Vinci would have never been called "Mr. Da Vinci"; that would have been the equivalent of someone calling a person "Mr. From New York". He would have been properly addressed as "Leonardo." However, in the first Assassin's Creed Lucy explains to Desmond that the Animus translates the spoken language in the past to current day terms and grammar so that he would better understand the scenes. (In Italian, "da" means "from", as in "from" Vinci; e.g., Leonardo da Vinci. "De" means "of" as in Lorenzo de Medici (of the family of the Medici). "Di" means "of" as in tintura di iodio.)
- Quotes
Frederico Auditore: It is a good life we lead, brother.

Frederico Auditore: And may it never change us.
