Assassin's Creed II
Is the continuation of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed, which may I add had HUGE popularity, allowing people to sneak around and assassinate! Assassin's Creed 2 has evolved from its predecessor in several ways which I will be explaining. To begin if you have played the original game this game gladly ties up any loose ends you may have! I must admit the keyboard and control scheme is awkward and slow at the beginning, but soon I found out that these keys work together to pull off escapes and combos! At the beginning of this game you wake up as Desmond, and must escape from a jail. After escaping he goes into the past where we first meet Ezio. It takes you through all the steps of his life even his birth : ) . While this game isn't exactly a "stealth" game, it does have quite a few elements that allow you to be sneaky. Such as hiding in big groups of people. Or maybe jumping in a stack of hay to lose those pesky guards! Among all this you will experience an exciting storyline accompanied by good graphics, well done sound, and graceful parkour. This game also goes farther allowing you to get collectibles, and obtain new weapons/armor along the way. The game is quite lengthy lasting around 15 hours without even doing any "extra". Ubisoft took this game to the next level. Increasing every part we liked about the old game and trashing the bad parts! All in all I think if you don't already own this game, it is worth getting! I rate this game 8.5/10
I played the first assassin's creed, I liked the story line but I found the gameplay to be a bit repetitive. I hear great things about this game as well as the newest title in the series. I might just have to get this game a shot!
ReplyDeleteassassins creed 1 was pretty repetetive but the 2nd one is alot better, improved mechanics and everything. great game
ReplyDeletedo want. Nice review.
ReplyDeleteHelp support me support you, check out my blogs sometime. will be checking back daily.
I'm really looking forward to Assassin's Creed III ... hope it will conclude the series well.
ReplyDeletegreat game i;m actually playing it now
ReplyDeleteI cant wait for the next one, I never beat this one but I do want to go back one day and beat all three of them. I enjoyed most of the parts of this one that I have played.
ReplyDeleteI've only played the first one, haven't got this one yet!
ReplyDeleteI think the story line is really weird, especially ACII who in my opinion are just trying to cash in on the success of the Da Vinci Code.
ReplyDeleteI really want to try this one.
ReplyDeleteI've watched my friend play this quite a few times. Definitely a fun game to watch.
ReplyDelete15 hours. I like that in a single player game. I might check it out. Always wanted to see how AC was.
ReplyDeleteFinished it a while back, really sweet game!
ReplyDeleteNow do brotherhood ;)
my friend is obsessed with this game
ReplyDeletefinished this one last month, it's a nice game, waiting for brotherhood to become available on the pc now : (
ReplyDeleteAwesome game. Awesome review.
ReplyDeleteGreat game. Supporting
ReplyDeleteI played the first one and thought it was quite boring at times, do you think I should buy this one?
ReplyDeleteThe first one often had you repeat missions and was lackluster.. This one has style :) and a coherent storyline
ReplyDeletei loved the 1st one but the second is in my mind better, it doesn't have repeating missions, and you get two hidden blades
ReplyDeletedude i freakin love this game, more like 9.5/10
ReplyDeleteMy younger cousin has this game, I haven't really started playing it myself but i've watched him play, it looks fun!
ReplyDeletepretty cool, i may have to get it.
ReplyDeleteI remember staying up all night playing this in holiday '09.
ReplyDeleteBrotherhood is even better. Great games, can't wait for ACIII.
I really enjoy this game, but i still haven't beaten it. This may motivate me into beating it.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this game.
ReplyDeletegreat game, loved the first one
ReplyDeleteSo many games i want to check out!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about playing this game. Now, thanks to you, I will.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fairly decent game. I agree with how you've rated it as well. I recconmend it for anyone who enjoyed the original!
ReplyDeleteI love these games, my favorite single player series.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of stealth games but I thought this one balanced stealth really well with exploration, adventure, and good ole fashioned killing
ReplyDeleteFun game, but nothing beats the first one.
ReplyDeleteI thought the first one was really good (despite the horrid flags), will need to pick up the second at some point :)
ReplyDeleteDidn't like the ending so much on the first one, but overall, these series are AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteGood review. Got me thinking about buying it.
ReplyDeleteI've only ever watched mates of mine play these, and both the first and second seem pretty awesome, just because of the game play and the concept. But I guess you have to play it yourself to know for sure.

ReplyDeleteI'd like a review about the Iphone version...
ReplyDeletePlayed number 1, so probably will ennd up buying this and Brotherhood eventually. Great review though!
ReplyDeletei want try it
ReplyDeleteGreat game, a bit too simplistic combat and a bit too lengthy for my taste though. Love the setting, its just great.
ReplyDeleteNever played the sequel, the ending to first was just so sudden and discouraging I kind of forgot about this series. Might give it a rent though.
ReplyDeleteI loved the first game - so cheers for the review...going to def check this out

ReplyDeleteSweet review!
ReplyDeleteI brought this game, it is so good!
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of assassins creed. I spent so much time on them lol
ReplyDeleteI haven't played any of the AC games, but they do look like a lot of fun. If I could get my hands on the money to get a decent TV, I'd definitely consider giving the games a shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat review! I might go buy this game soon. I hope it's alot cheaper now :P Will be coming back soon to read more of your blog ;)

ReplyDeleteI loved Assassin's Creed II. Better than the first one in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteGood review
ReplyDeleteI hope the third one is as good as the second.
ReplyDeleteNice review, enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't enjoy the first AC, I found it extremely repetitive, which is actually an understatement. I hope the third is better.
ReplyDeleteLove all the Assassin's Creed games. Currently playing Brotherhood, it's pretty good.
ReplyDeletei thought assassins creed 1 and 2 were magnificent
ReplyDeletegreat blog. im gonna start following you

ReplyDeleteHey, nice post, looking forward to the next ones. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are two games currently that have such a huge hype surrounding them: Minecraft and the new AC.
ReplyDeleteI was going to buy this game on Steam when it was on sale over christmas, but I got caught up playing Mass Effect 2, and forgot. Next time it's on sale i definitely will
ReplyDeleteI tried to play this game but it kinda got boring.. is that just me?
ReplyDeleteMy friend plays this game, and she really likes it.
