Assassin's Creed 2 is a masterpiece

[Red 5]

That is all.

Maybe i'll buy it in the budget corner, but part one has left me with a bad taste in my mouth. The mission where just to repetitive. It looked cool, that's for sure.

It is much better than the first one.

 

You can skip the repetitive bits rather easily, but there is a whole new element of gameplay.

You have a Villa that you can buy art for, store armor in etc.

 

There are Prince of Persia 'tombs' to raid which give you a very cool gift if you collect them all.

 

There are 'glyphs' that you can find which put you into puzzle mode. Fun picture hunts, jigsaw puzzles, codebreaking puzzles.

 

Leonardo DiVinci is your friend. Bring him Codex pages and he will invent new weapons for you, improve your armor, etc.

 

I am not usually a completionist, but this game is so fun that I want to find every little secret. Yes, the races are still there, but only one or two per city. Yes, there are Assasination side quests that get a bit repetitive, but you don't need to do them. The main story however, is brilliant and has no repetition at all. I would put this game right next to Arkham Assylum and let them duke it out for game of the year.

Yep, absolutely fantastic game

 

I just finished it yesterday and I'd easily recommend it to anyone. The Assassins Tombs are alot of fun
