Assassin's Creed II [360/PlayStation 3/PC]

Well I picked this up yesterday around 5PM and I played it from the time I got home till around 6 or 7AM this morning. That says something right there. I immediately noticed that this is much better than the first, both the gameplay and story are improved (you may remember the first one being repetitive).

In the last game you played as Altair but in this one you take the role of Ezio, and the game takes place in Italy. It starts out with you and Lucy escaping from Abstergo, you learn she is also an assassin and she takes you back to their "HQ", you then enter the Animus 2.0 and the game begins. As you take control of Ezio, something terrible happens that will change his life forever and he has no other choice but to become an Assassin and avenge his family.

There are also many changes in this game including armor and weapon upgrades, multiple weapons, swimming, flying, money, different ways to assassinate your targets and much more including a Villa that your uncle owns with a small town around it so you can renovate and upgrade shops and earn money that way. It just has a better feel to it and you can tell they worked hard on improving it. One thing that really stood out was how Desmond stays in the Animus for a longer time and he has only come out of it once so far, (I'm like half way finished so idk how many more times he comes out)



Overall I think this game is worth getting, especially if you loved the first, this will be a treat considering how much more in depth the story is. I have no complaints.
