Assassin’s Creed II, a third-person adventure game by Ubisoft, creates a beautiful, lush, deep world and gives you the unfettered freedom to play around in it. All games should be this fun to play. You can climb buildings in seconds, dive off towers...
Assassin’s Creed II is one of those rare sandbox games that actually has a sandbox that you want to explore and play in. When you’re not assassinating enemies (fun) or further revealing details on the complex conspiracy (also fun), just standing on on...

It’s brilliant. Don’t buy it. The copy protection of Assassin’s Creed II requires you to be connected to publisher Ubisoft’s servers every moment you play. Any interruption to that connection kicks you out and erases all the progress you’ve made since...

We’ve long grown used to developers’ empty promises. Upon creating a flawed game that draws critics’ ire, yet sells the required copies to justify a sequel, the story is usually the same from the developers: ‘We’ll fix the things players didn’t like’.T...

Given a quick glance, Assassin's Creed 2 (AC2) looks remarkably similar to its 2007 predecessor. A hooded figure races athletically across a set of beautifully rendered rooftops – with an obvious nod to the pastime of parkour – slowing only to dispatch...
With all the polish of the original game, this renaissance-based adds the variety of gameplay that was missing...

When we left Desmond and the modern-day Assassin's, they were evacuating a warehouse that had just been attacked by the Templars. Desmond's ancestor, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, however, had successfully defeated the Templar Master and received a message fr...
Should most of the Borgia die for their crimes against the Assassins and Rome, or can history-making be left to others? If you want an assassination done right, you have to do it yourself. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is a very enjoyable and well-made gam...

Having entered the Animus and discovering the Templars' plot, gamers had to wait two years to return to the past in Assassin's Creed II . While Desmond Miles returns as the modern-day playable character, we do not experience the life or Altaïr, the Assass...
Is Assassin's Creed II a memory to relive or to forget? In my opinion, definitely the former. It is a very fun game with plenty to do, and you are rewarded for all of it. There are some places it could be better, but it also has a lot of places that need...

Many agree that Ubisoft Montreal may not be the best game developer studio out there, but few will deny they always put selflessly determination into creating new interactive adventures. 2007s Assassins Creed strongly proves that statement: the clums...
In the end, however we want to put it, Ubisoft Montreal did a hell of a job on Assassins Creed II. So much fan feedback and such labor over mistakes were definitely last seen a very long time ago. Whatever Ubisoft has planned for the future of the fra...

You can climb buildings in seconds, dive off towers, assassinate guards, and slip into the crowd unnoticed. You can run over rooftops with grace and ease and then jump onto an enemy with a quick tap of a button. You can hire mercenaries, thieves, or c...
While the screen resolution for Assassin’s Creed II isn’t what it should be, the game is on the whole every bit as immersive, rewarding, and free as the console version. Assassin’s Creed II is one of those rare sandbox games that actually has a sandbo...

Even restrictive DRM doesn't stop this game from soaring Assassin’s Creed II, like its predecessor, is an ambitious third-person action adventure game with a clever conceit: You’re a modern-day bartender reliving your assassin ancestors’ adventures. Bu...
Tons of things to collect; gigantic, lovingly crafted cities to explore.
Ubisoft's infamous DRMwhile not quite as awful as fearedis still a pain in the neck.

Forward into the past … Firesign Theater used that as a title of a comedy album back in the 1970s, but that phrase seems apropos when talking about Assassin’s Creed II. After all, to save the future, the main protagonist has to travel back into the pas...

Assassin's Creed II is the follow-up to Ubisoft's 2007 hit that attracted a mass audience if not unanimous critical acclaim. The sequel is an expansive and bloody romp through Renaissance Italy that plays up every popular aspect of the first installmen...
Assassin's Creed II transforms a middling action game into an intriguing and consistently entertaining open-world adventure. Based on this game, Ubisoft Montreal should run a clinic on how to iterate a franchise and if the series continues in this vei...

Assassin's Creed II is a gorgeous and impressive piece of work, unfortunately undercut by a few notable issues that intrude on the fun. Developer Ubisoft Montreal has addressed many of the original's flaws by filling its follow-up with fresh and enjoya...
Huge, beautifully realized world to explore, Ezio is a terrific new character, Tombs put a spotlight on the excellent and enjoyable platforming, A good variety of weapons, missions, and stealth techniques, Incredible production values.
Frequently broken copy protection scheme requires constant Internet access, High price point, Some additions are a little contrived.
The PC version of last year's beautiful action adventure is lots of fun, but you'll have to overcome its online-only copy protection and high price point...

Despite a compelling premise and stunning visuals, TVG wasn't the biggest fan of the original Assassin's Creed. Set during the Holy Crusades, the concept of a medieval hitman schooled in the art of free-running should have provided the perfect backdro...

We have to take our feather caps and ruffs off to Ubisoft Montreal. We've been quite cautious in our coverage of the game, believing that the original's flawed design had too many pitfalls to overcome. However they've done it. Perhaps the ulti...
