The listing, Assassins Creed 2 xbox 360 game has ended.
Assassin’s Creed 2 improves greatly on the first game of the series (which was solid on its own, repetition and all), proving that listening to an audience’s complaints can be more than beneficial. By doing so, there is no question that this is one of the best games of 2009.
Thankfully, the biggest changes of them all are the changes made to the gameplay. The repetitious missions are still here, but they are now optional and don’t have to be completed in order to progress the main storyline. Just don’t get too sidetracked like I did the first time around because the time I spent searching for treasure, feathers and glyphs outweighed the time I spent going through the main plot points and I actually forgot a lot of the details of the main story. But don’t worry, if you are as forgetful as I am you can replay the game without saving over your first save file.
The Italian Renaissance is a nice change in locale for the series thanks in large part to the beautiful architectural styles of this time. It is obvious that a lot of time went into recreating this world, and it deserves more than the occasional glance when stalking soldiers on rooftops or escaping through the streets and bodies of water in the cities. Combining this with the character animations during the gameplay, Assassin’s Creed 2 really is a breathtaking game, even if sometimes the characters’ faces looked a little awkward during the cutscenes.
Assassin’s Creed 2 proves once again that the world of an assassin is a dangerous and exhilarating place to be, and I cannot wait to see what Ubisoft has planned next for the franchise.
