Assassin's Creed II

Assassin's Creed II Review

Assassin's Creed 2 is a unique and enjoyable video game that brings fluid and functional gameplay to an interesting time period in human history. If you are at all interested in it, you will not not be disappointed.

Pros +
+ Sharp and colorful visuals. The only noticeable slowdown I experienced was diving into water.
+ The character animation on Etzio is what steals the show. His climbing ability and fluid movements puts Nathan Drake from Uncharted 2 to shame. Everything looks natural and just plain awesome
+ Combat feels a little turn based as enemies wait their turn to be slaughtered but it is still very fun. All the various have their counter moves and actions, resulting in some very gory and cringe worthy kills
+ The soundtrack is phenomenal. It takes a back seat during most of the free roaming but comes in beautifully where appropriate

Cons -
- The only real negative I can think of is the actual combat. It can feel a little clunky and can be frustrating when there are about 10 enemies and Ezio's actions are designed for only a few.

In conclusion Assassin's Creed 2 is a great buy and won't leave you disappointed. Plus the story is sure to keep you interested.
