Description
You return right where you left Desmond Miles off in the first, who had just witnessed his ancestor Altair’s life through the Animus machine. With the help of Lucy Stillman, the insider within the walls of the evil Abstergo Industries, you escape and meet with the modern-day assassins. You use the Animus again by choice, and dwell into your ancestor Ezio Auditore da Firenze during the late 15th and early 16th century in Renaissance Italy.
The sequel comes with improvements everywhere. Scaling buildings are now a breeze, the storyline has greatly improved, side-missions are far more varied than its predecessor, the computer AI has smartened up, and money now comes into the equation, buying equipment and weapons. The combat is the most improved, with weapons from axes, hammers, swords and duel hidden blades giving assassinations more stylized variety. If you enjoyed the first (or never played it), this is the right game for you.

...one of the most compelling games of the year GamesMaster
Features
Ezio Auditore da Firenze is a young Italian noble who will learn the ways of the assassins after his family was betrayed and he looks to seek vengeance. He is a lady’s man, a free soul with panache yet has a very human side to his personality.
RENAISSANCE ITALY
Italy in the XVth century was less a country and more a collection of city-states where families with political and economic strength began to take leadership roles in cities like Florence and Venice. This journey through some of the most beautiful cities in the world takes place in a time in history where culture and art were born alongside some of the most auspicious stories of corruption, greed and murder
A NEW-FOUND FREEDOM
You will be able to perform missions when and how you want in this open-ended world that brings back free-running and adds elements such as swimming and even flying to the adventure. The variety in game play adds another layer for you to truly play through the game any way you choose
DYNAMIC CROWD
Discover a living breathing world where every character is an opportunity for the player. Blending in with the crowd is easier, working with in-game characters provide ample rewards but can also lead to surprising consequences
BECOME A MASTER ASSASSIN
Perfect your skills to become a master assassin where you brandish new weapons, learn to disarm enemies, use their weapons against them and assassinate enemies using both hidden blades

Comments about ASSASSIN'S CREED 2 (Playstation 3):
It's been quite awhile since a game's storyline had me so enthralled. I really enjoyed the first Assassins Creed but I can't remember the last time a sequel was so much better than it's predecessor.
Beautiful graphics, great sound effects, brilliant storyline, very well presented and a lot of extra bits and pieces this time around compared to the first Assassins Creed which felt a little bit repetitive after a while. I wait in anticipation for Assassins Creed 3. Highly recommend this game to everyone.

Comments about ASSASSIN'S CREED 2 (Playstation 3):
-I played it a lot of hours, and I think that is important to follow the story, so it's better if you play frequently, but the great gameplay and freedom make it OK for casual gamers.
GREAT THINGS
-Very engaging and fantastic story.
-The control of the main character is very nice.
-More situations and variety than the first game
-Lots of missions and things to do.
-The cities are alive and look very well.
-The inventios of Da Vinci are a great addition.
NOT THAT GREAT
-The models of people don't have much detail.
-Some bugs and glitches like the archer clonation and be careful when you arrive to level 11, because if you load a saved game, is possible that the environment doesn't load, and you'll be walking through nothing. The only way to fix this is starting a new game because it happens every time you load the game.
-There's no multiplayer, and I think that the game has a lot of possibilities on this field.

Comments about ASSASSIN'S CREED 2 (Playstation 3):
By far Assassin's Creed 2 has improved from the first sequel, Assassin's Creed 2 is a lot more engaging in terms of story line and game play. Unlike the first one, Assassin's Creed 2 skips most of the talking scenario's and thus action after action.
A really amazing game that must be played by both fans and new comers.
5 stars!

Comments about ASSASSIN'S CREED 2 (Playstation 3):
A fantastic game that builds on the first in the series and improves on it in almost every way. Engaging storyline, and the gameplay is a lot less repetitive than the first. Great fun, but some of the puzzles are a little abstract and difficult!

Comments about ASSASSIN'S CREED 2 (Playstation 3):
Great game. Follows on from Assassin's Creed 1 and improves on almost all aspects of the game. Free running / climbing is now much smoother. There is a wide array of new weapons, armour, attack moves and bad guys to kill. The story is rich in factual and fictional history and follows the story of the Assassins and the Templar. Would recommend. 10/10
