Assassin’s Creed II is what you’d want an action sequel to be: bigger, better, and more beautiful. Read the full review:
the racing side missions are awesome because of the music that plays while trying to complete the side mission
the music drowns out the reviewer cant hear shit
This is my Review for AC2:
AC2 returns with Great Improves to AC's Formula. As your return with AC's Kidnapped Bartender "Desmond", He returns to the DNA Reading Device "The Animus" to explore a new Ancestor "Ezio Auditore Da Firenze" only this time "Willingly" as you travel on the Rooftops of Beautiful Florence, The Pure Nature Of The Countryside and The Mind-blowing Sight of Venice.
+ Storyline:
AC2 Has a lot of thing to be praised at but if one thing is to truly deserve the word amazing its the Story, as Players will Find it more intriguing and more Fun than most games in 2009.
+/- Gameplay:
AC2 Returns with the excellent Parkour of AC with some enhancements to make it faster and a Master to the Rooftops of Venice and Florence, Combat also returns but with a "Good" notice, as you progress in the game, you will get used to it as it's much easier than the First Game. Assassinations return with different Techniques, as now players can Air assassinate, Ledge Assassinate and Assassinate from a Hiding Spot.
+ Graphics:
If anything takes your heart and mind for its brilliance, It's the sight of Pure Nature, Amazing Architecture of Buildings and Mind Blowing Cities, The Characters also have Good Graphics but they could've been better.
+ Music:
After this Game, Jesper Kyd is now my Favorite composer. As I played almost through every game in 2009, No Soundtracks did Best AC2's Main Theme and Glorious Music.
The Verdict:
Assassin's Creed II improves the Formula of AC in many ways and I'm Sure Players will have fun Playing it more than the first game, with gorgeous cities,fun characters, Good Gameplay and Intriguing Story.
Score: 9.5/10
I don't get why people like Black flag so much since its not even an Assassin's creed game
Really Azio ?
Ubisoft should make "Assassin's Creed II Remastered" for Xbox One and PS4..
I think everybody agrees with me when I say that AC2 was the best in the series and one of the best games on the 7th gen consoles altogether.
Best AC game tbh
Still my favourite AC game, just started playing through it again this will be the 5th time I've completed it. Got Platinum trophies on this, AC3 and AC4 and soon to be ACB.
I liked all of this game including the glyphs as I think adding a conspiracy part to it just made it so much cooler, plus some people could go through the whole game without even realising that they are there, so the hidden aspect works because people will want to go back and play it.
When I compare it to the new games sure it's not as good in some ways such as combat, but the graphics are still pretty great and for its time the combat was great as well.
I'm not sure what did win game of the year but I think this definitely should, it's just a game that was just ahead of its time!!
I play ac4 I like ac4 but I ll probably stop playing it because of the naval combat
well fuck me i actully liked the original…
ill agree ac2 its by far the best in the series still
Ok guys which is better, Assassin's creed 2 or 3?
Is it worth getting now? On PC with controller
Only 10€ on steam deluxe edition
how is it that you can do more in this game then Unity? WTF Ubisoft
After playing every AC game(from AC 1 to Unity) I can honestly say this is one is my favorite! 🙂
The stort was just so original in AC 2 man. You don't fucking get to fly with contraptions made by da vinci. Fucking epic assassinations and legitimate reasons to follow the brotherhood like Ezio does. The horses and fighting on the horses as well as just vast land to explore. Playing AC unity and AC 3 Make me cringe at how horrible the environment was. No city traveling a bunch of bullshit trees in 3 where in unity you only are allowed in Paris and versailles which is a bullshit excuse of a map whereas in AC 2, you could literally get lost. AC 2 was and always will be the best. There's no dramaticness in the assassinations like in AC 2, no last moment before death speech that Ezio would give. Ubisoft fell off so hard man.
Started playing this recently. Had the pirate assassins creed before but didn't really like the naval play. This is so much better I think.
still the best assasins creed like if you still playing ac 2 in 2015
The graphics look so bad compared to today's graphics
Gamespot: Assassis creed 2 is the best looking open world game ever made
Me: O_O *checks upload date; sees it's 2009" Phew….
They added the notoriety system because otherwise it'd be a perfect game, and the government would never allow that.
When Ubi used to care about the craftsmanship of making an excellent game 😕
Best AC game ever made… simply a masterpiece
better main character? bullshit, Altair is the assassin who made them worldwide, he is the boss. I love his dark gritty loyal arrogant attitude, ezio is too much of a fuckboy for me.
i would really really like to see this game remade with updated parkour mechanics, combat, and graphics
"you sense the care and love that put into making it", we'll probably never hear that about an AC game ever again.
Assassin's Creed II, the best AC game ever made. Beautiful historical setting, majestic music and engaging storyline. When I played this game many years ago, I never wanted it to end.
playing it to this day
Am I the only one who likes brotherhood better?
Of all this remasters out there I would love one for this game. I still think it's a master class in game design.
The gameplay of this game makes me not want to play it, simply horrible
so sad it's still the best ac game so far 🙁
2017
i couldn't get through this whole video, not with your unbalanced of fucking audio.
Love the way I got distracted by the music again and again. AC2(Original) iz luv(+Painfully nostalgic) even in 2017. Pace
Why is the audio in this video so bad?
I just played my first AC game and it was the number IV black flag.
I got it for $10.
Now, i'm about to buy this game for $6.
I'm still having fun with my PS3.
music was too loud
I feel old now
who mixed the audio in this review?
Just started replaying this in 2020
FREE now on UPlay
Kids these days will never understand the greatness of the old ac games, for them ac is just another franchise that releases its game every year, they'd rather play something the media publicises even if it's not that good.
Lol eatsio
I remember the story and gameplay improvement was a huge leap from simplistic ac1 investigations to story focused ac2 missions
2021 anyone????
I hope someone can help me with a save issue I'm having on the Xbox 360 version, that Google hasn't been able to help me with!
I've tried to play this twice in the last week; once on 360 and then on Xbox One (both times with the Xbox 360 ACII disc) I get a message flag up after playing for a little while saying it cannot save and therefore will be removed from the device (or something like that) which means it then won't/can't autosave and I lose the file completely, as it has disappeared when I try to play the game again. All I can gather from what I Googled is that it's something to do with UPlay and that I'm not the only one who has had this problem. Perhaps if I try and play OFFLINE it might combat the issue, but I'm reluctant to play through the whole game intro for a third time, only to lose my progress again! Can anyone help, or should I just give up on it for good?!
Thanks in advance!
