Assassin's Creed II

This is undoubtedly the best game in the franchise. Story, gameplay, characters, locations, everything is on point. Lots of plot twists and turns. Overall it's a masterpiece.

I've been saying to everybody, if you didn't play Assassin's Creed (AC) 1 yet, play it before you play Assassin's Creed 2. Although, there is not much link between the two parts, AC2 is much more advanced than AC1. When I first played AC1, I loved it, but I had few comments (which everyone did), but now in AC2, all these comments were taken care of, making this game the best game in 2009.

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.

This game blew my mind. The story line is so intricate, so realistic, and so vastly controversial that this game deserves to be in the video game hall of fame. The AI has been redone to make enemies smarter, now they will actually look for you after you escape. the graphics are once again breathtaking. My mouth is open in awe every time I synchronize on top of a viewpoint. this is one of those game that truly pulls you in to the story and doesn't let you go until the game is complete. throughout the entire game, I felt like I WAS Ezio di Auditore de Firenze. That's how realistic the storyline felt. filled with action, betrayal, humor, fantastic graphics, and even some romance, Assassin's Creed II is not a game to be missed.

Fantastic storyline and great gameplay. Impressive graphics from game that developed in 2009.

I'm playing it through right now and I'm still so amazed by how good it is. The storytelling, the plot, the voice acting, intrigue, it's all so good. The different kind of missions tie the story seamlessly together. It's true the gameplay has certainly improved in many ways throughout subsequent games (like fast traveling, hiding in bushes and whistling). But the simplicity is part of the reason why I love this game so much and I absolutely disregard AC Valhalla. The city building in this game is beautiful, filled with people, opportunities and obstacles, so much more than in sequels. Ezio and Desmond are perhaps the first and last characters within the entire the AC universe that I truly effortlessly rooted for.
