Product Description
Assassin’s Creed® 2 is the follow-up to the title that became the fastest-selling new IP in video game history. The highly anticipated title features a new hero, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a young Italian noble, and a new era, the Renaissance.
Assassin’s Creed 2 retains the core gameplay experience that made the first opus a resounding success and features new experiences that will surprise and challenge players.
Assassin’s Creed 2 is an epic story of family, vengeance and conspiracy set in the pristine, yet brutal, backdrop of a Renaissance Italy. Ezio befriends Leonardo da Vinci, takes on Florence’s most powerful families and ventures throughout the canals of Venice where he learns to become a master assassin.
Features:
- EZIO, A NEW ASSASSIN FOR A NEW ERA 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. Through him, you become a master assassin.
- RENAISSANCE ITALY Italy in the 15th 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 you want 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 gameplay 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 then use their weapons against them and assassinate enemies using both hidden blades.

Mixed emotions at first
 Reviewed by Daehan on January 22nd, 2010
Well at first I was a bit unsure on how this game would pan out but as I put the disc in I loved it all the way, the cinematics and great graphics made this game an ultimate and the way they have linked it to the first one made it that much better and how thy have the added weapons and made it so you can pick up guards weapons has made this game absolutely great.
So to all assassins creed one lovers you will love this one.
By the way get a cooling fan with this game because you'll love it so much you'll do what I did and over heat your XBox. :]
amazing

and i thought assassins creed 1 was good! but assassins creed 2 does everything way better. there are way more weapons you can use finally change outfits and look the way you want and... YOU GET 2 HIDDEN BLADES so its twice as good
GOTY 2010 Contender, thats for sure!
Reviewed by Tony on December 10th, 2009
After playing this game through and completing it to 100%, i have to say, its easily one of the best, if not the best, games ever made. The graphics are slick and very detailed, and there was not a single bug that i encountered after thoroughly exploring the game. The map itself is huge, with many cities, towns and unique environments to explore. The platforming in this game is reminiscent to the Prince of Persia series, which is great, as there are a few challenges that will have you stuck. The length of this game is pretty long, but not too long, which means you will NEVER ever get bored of the storyline. Ezio is a character you will automatically love, and you are really drawn into the story with its strong plot and the emotions of the characters. The major flaw of the original Assassins Creed was the repetitive gameplay. This flaw has been completely turned around, because every part of the story is different, and the gameplay will never bore you. The dreaded flags are gone this time around, being replaced by feathers, which are a bit more fun to collect. Overall, i felt privileged to play through this masterpiece. Everything about this game is to the highest standard. The gameplay, the graphics, the sound, the unique experience, is all just so damn brilliant. You are drawn into the story from the very beginning, and you will never want to put the game down until you find out what happens next. This game is definitely a must buy, and will be one of the main contenders for GOTY 2010. BUY IT!

A Promise Finally Fulfilled
Reviewed by Sasha on November 27th, 2009
Assassin's Creed was essentially a fantastic promise that lacked the execution to fulfill that promise in almost every way. After two years, Ubisoft returns with a vengeance and this time they're taking no prisoners. Taking lessons from Rockstar's GTA series they've given gamers something the first one never did - choice.
There are just too many improvements over the original to mention here, suffice to say Ubisoft have made good on their promise of Assassin's Creed at last, crafting a romantic, exciting tale of loyalty and revenge.
Better then the first by leaps and bounds
Reviewed by Matthew on November 26th, 2009
Was utterly blown away by how much better this was then the first one. Instead of being repetitive and having you do random tasks, AC2 integrates everything beautifully into the story.
A must have for any 360 owner.
a real asasin experience
Reviewed by Aaron on November 24th, 2009
after completing this game i was astounded with how great it could be the makers followed the story on from altair in the original game and somehow made it better...
with all new locations like venice and a short trip to see the pope...new weapons ranging from scimitars duel hidden blades and giant axes and a cool little gun up youre sleeve
this game promises to leave you hanging for more which is lucky because theyve left the story open for another game which i know myself and other enthusiasts are waiting with baited breath for
Amazing!
Reviewed by Jamie on November 21st, 2009
Assassins Creed was a good game, but the sequel is in a league of its own I cant stress enough how Assassins Creed 2 has improved from the first game. The environments are stunning the gameplay is at its peak... The freedom you get in this game cant be topped by any other, entire citys for you to run around in and the brutal yet mind blowing to watch combat, Ubisoft heard the crys for improvements from the 1st game and they haven't disappointed!
Looks Better than before
Reviewed by Tom on November 6th, 2009
I've seen this game in videos and pictures and it really looks promising and also a lot better than the original which could get repetitive and boring.
New locations, Weapons, Moves and more this game is a must buy for anyone who liked the first
