I had never played the original Assassin's Creed, despite my friends' recommendations. Assassin's Creed 2 was recently recommended to me as well, mostly for its violent nature. For 19.99, there was nothing to lose, so I bought it.

Before I get into the review proper I want to get the DRM fiasco out the way first. I've decided to give the game five stars despite the fact that the DRM Ubisoft has implemented makes playing the game incredibly difficult and frustrating.

This game is excellent.It's a good upgrade from the first Assassin's creed. The only bad side is that a certain moment, the game freeze for 1-2seconds and come back.Even whith a powerfull computer (Core i7 950, 1gb Asus HD6870 and 12gb RAM), this game lag.I've seen that it is because the game...

A really nice game .Graphics quality is nice but storyline is a little short. I was really happy to know that they completetly removed their damn DRM.Now it really better and easy to play.

There had to have been a lion's den of obstacles to overcome during the development of Assassin's Creed 2. Like Paris Hilton, the original was an exasperating display of style over substance; a beautiful looking game that was depressingly dull on the inside.

I know that invasive DRM may be a sign of the apocalypse and that it has eaten many of your children. That said, I am checking discussion of Assassin Creed's II extremely draconian DRM at the door of this review.

I wasn't a huge fan of the first Assassin's Creed . Like many, I found the progression repetitive, the AI unconvincing, and the lack of proper stealthy bits a bit baffling (you were, after all, an assassin!).

Loads more variety than the first game; a really top-notch, all-around action-adventure, Complex, engrossing plot, Truly fantastic presentation

The AI could still be a bit smarter; It takes a while to get going; The controls might still feel a bit hand-holdy for hardcore platform fans

In 2007, Ubisoft released the first of the Assassin's Creed franchise. With its cinematic and easy-to-handle free-running gameplay and its immersion in a unique historical fiction, the game won praise from critics and gamers alike. But with repetitive missions and a simplistic fighting style (e.g.

Compelling historical fiction mixed with near future sci-fi; Smooth; good looking and easy-to-control action; Vast sandbox for exploring and playing

Slow points even within the main story line; Unintentionally grotesque character models; Some in-game animation problems

If you can get past the DRM you're in for a treat.
