Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: Get ready to plunge into the lush and deadly world of the Italian Renaissance, an era of arts, riches and murderous conspiracy. Assassin's Creed II introduces you to Ezio, a new assassin carrying on the deadly lineage of his forebears. Confront an epic tale of power and corruption as you hone your assassin's art, wielding weapons and instruments designed by the legendary Leonardo Da Vinci himself in this gripping and deadly sequel. In Assassin's Creed 2, you "relive" the life of an assassin during the Italian Renaissance in this open-world action adventure game. The goal is to exact revenge upon conspirators who have framed and executed loved ones; the goal is to be accomplished through assassination. As players roam the crowded streets of Florence, Italy, they can creep through catacombs and corridors, undertake diverse side-missions, and tail-and-assassinate all manner of human targets-politicians, Templar soldiers, and conspirators. Players can also brawl with family rivals or engage in sword fights with Templar soldiers, but in most cases, they use stealth techniques to complete the mission; for example, players can sneak up on enemies from behind and kill them with hidden daggers, poisoned daggers, spring-activated blades, and swords. When blades connect, blood shoots out in a fountain-like manner as targets groan or scream. These stealth-kills are sometimes depicted close-up and are somewhat graphic: the camera follows the "herky-jerky" thrusts of the blade; the player hears a distinctly "wet" flesh-impact sound. The most graphic depictions of violence occur during cinematic cut-scenes. A short live-action movie (i.e., not animated) is included with the game. During a dramatic sword fight, an enemy's throat gets slashed-exposing a wide gash in his neck-as the body flails in front of the camera. The spurts and sprays of blood that accompany some of the stabbing attacks can be intense. The Amazon.com Hands-On Review:

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Naysayers notwithstanding...This was an excellent game in every way. Despite all the naysayers' complaints, being connected to the internet in order to play had absolutely ZERO affect on the quality of the game. In fact, you don't have to manually save games because they're saved automatically. Yes, during the hours/days/weeks that I played, my internet connection went down for about 10 minutes. The game hung in limbo until the internet came back, and I was right back at it. I understand that the mandatory internet connection makes some people freak out, but it was really no problem at all. The game is terrific. Rating: - Best PC Game I've Ever Played- Period!Forget all the talk about the DRM stuff- I've only been disconnected once with Cable Modem. This is simply the best game I've played in 30 years of gaming! It's the most interesting, addicting, open, game out there! I loved AC1, and this game improves on that immensely. It's taken me about 40 hours or so to get every little thing in the game- all missions, side missions, treasures, etc. You definitely get your money's worth, and then some. I love that it's single player only. All the other games feel they have to have a multiplayer component, but for die hard old school gamers, a great single player game is fantastic! This goes right up there, and surpasses, my all-time favorite games- Bioshock, GTA series, and Prototype. It mixes the best of many gaming types, and it's not as lame as the RPG games. The attention to detail in this game is amazing. Just the citizens having conversations among themselves, guards chasing you up ladders- and using the same other means of movement you do. That ...

Rating: - Perminate internet??? WTF?????Don't get me wrong I love the game its the best, I played it on ps3 for a little bit and decided to buy if for PC, but no where does it say you need a perminate internet connection till I got the game.... In the states I don't see a problem with this... but I am deployed to Iraq... Rating:  - Assassin's Creed - circa 1500AC2 brought about the same kind of gameplay with very minor changes. It's about twice as long as the first game, with a routine of combing the cities for whatever is left in them, including the eagle feathers, which are basically hard to find gimmick items like flags in the previous game. Finding the feathers unlocks some features, which unfortunately are too negligible to make up for the time wasted. Locations of the feathers are not indicated on the map, which means that finding the whole one hundred of them is the hardest task in this game. You can still climb towers to unlock viewpoints and covered areas on the map as well as points of interest and merchants. There are 3 kinds of merchants: healers, blacksmiths, and art sellers. You can earn and spend money, the renaissance Italy version of money I think although I don't remember it having any particular name. Speaking of money, there are many treasure chests located throughout the game, which can be sought after for ... Read More |
