Assassin's Creed 2 Review

The Assassin's Creed II Game takes place in an open world with nonlinear gameplay, allowing you to roam freely around the four regions of the game: cities of Venice, Rome, and Florence, and the Tuscan countryside. With the ability, even, to swim - and use the canals of Venice to hide and drown enemies in. You will even be able to drive boats. A young Leonardo da Vinci is also present in the game, to assist by providing a variety of weapons and contraptions for you to use. In fact, at one point in the game, the player can access da Vinci's flying machine which he actually built, keeping airborne using thermals from fires lit by friends gathered previously in the game. Along your journey in this world. you acquire weapons from all sorts of vendors at will. Also available to you is colored dye you can use to change the color of your outfit.

The game will feature a host of new mission types for the player to complete and there will be many weapons included in the game such as halberds, axes, long pikes, swords, daggers, and numerous others.

4-16 mission types in Assassin's Creed II. This makes for bigger missions altogether, as a mission may start as an escort mission, then become a chase mission, and then end as an assassination mission. The structure of missions from Assassin's Creed is taken away, so there is no more investigating, as missions are available from people on the street and people met in the game. There are roughly 200 missions in this game; one hundred are part of the main narrative, while the other hundred are side quests.

Six additional weapons can be unlocked by players who completed Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines by linking their PSP to their PS3.

Additionally, the player can disarm opponents and use their own weapons against them. The game has a far more sophisticated combat system; and you will be able to use a variety of tactics on different enemies and even assassinate two people at once by means of Ezio's dual hidden blades.

You can also automatically commit a stealth kill if the player is positioned correctly in proximity to the target and if Ezio remains anonymous without having to select the hidden blades. The poison blade is another one of the hidden blade upgrades that Ezio will get from da Vinci.

The health system has been adjusted to allow for a more dynamic and participatory experience, meaning that the "memory sync" system used in the first game only helps to recharge health up to a certain point. More grievous injuries will require a trip to one of the many street-side doctors, who can help return Ezio to full strength.

As well as using water as a hiding place, the player can utilize a broader array of scenery as cover and can now blend in with any crowd rather than a group of scholars dressed in white, as in Assassin's Creed. Like in the 2006 video game Hitman: Blood Money, there will be a notoriety system, and the player will become more notorious as Ezio completes more missions, however Ezio's infamy can be reduced by bribing, removing wanted posters of him or assassinating witnesses. Also, a day and night cycle has been added to the game, giving the sense of a passage of time but additionally certain missions will only be able to be performed during the day or night.

The game also features an economic system that makes it possible to hire services from non-player characters (NPCs). Ezio can steal from any of the NPCs, and likewise there are NPCs who can also steal from Ezio. You can also choose to throw money to the ground, which attracts the attention of nearby civilians, creating a distraction. You can also use money to buy tools made by Leonardo da Vinci.

Besides the main cities of the game, you can access hidden locations such as catacombs and caves, which are similar to those in the Prince of Persia game series. Exploring these locations rewards the player. Additionally, the eagle vision from the first game has been improved, now giving the option of remaining in third person with eagle vision initiated, allowing you to spot targets while moving.

The animus has also been updated in the Assassin's Creed II game. This time, it will have a database, giving extra information about all the key locations, characters and services that you will encounter during play. For example, when you approach a famous church - like Santa Maria Novella in Florence - with a simple button press, its history is revealed..

One of the game's trailers displayed many new things such as improved parkour mechanics. The trailer also showed Ezio withdrawing his hidden blade to access a rudimentary gunpowder-based mechanic on his wristblade to take out a target from a distance. Another feature seen in the trailer shows that no cover is safe, because guards can search them. To counter this Ezio has the ability to assassinate the incoming guards before detection, and placing the bodies in his former hiding location (he drags them into haystacks, places dead enemies on the bench he was sitting at between two allies etc). Another aspect revealed in the trailer was the addition of "smoke bombs" to aid in Ezio's escape.
