Assassins Creed 2 is a 3rd person action and adventure game published and developed by Ubisoft, it was released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 videogame consoles as well as PC.
This is the second game of the Assassins Creed franchise and a direct sequel to the first game which was released back in 2007, also for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The PC version of AC2 will be released in February for the European market and in March for North America. The console version has already been released (November 2009).
The story of the game takes place in a near future or the year 2012. You play a man called Desmond Miles who is in the beginning escaping from Abstergo Industries with one of their employees (Lucy Stillman), after having to be forced to relive the memories of one Altaïr ibn La-Ahad. Altaïr ibn La-Ahad was Desmond's ancestor and an assassin; the memories are retrieved using a machine called the Animus.
After the escape, Desmond and Lucy head to a safe-house where Lucy has another machine identical to the Animus. Desmond enters that machine and now relives the memories of Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a young man who lived in the 15th century renaissance Italy. The player controls Ezio throughout the game as he himself becomes an assassin after his father and brother are murdered.
Assassins Creed 2 is quite different from the first one; Ubisoft has definitely stepped up and fixed the game intensely. Now it is more like GTA and other open world games where you can roam around freely and accept missions and challenges as you play the main story.
I rate it 8 out of 10
