Description
"The experience is layered, unique, and shows an incredible attention to detail. This is one case where the sequel has triumphed over the original by catching the gameplay up to the already excellent visuals." - IGN.com
"The PC version of last year's beautiful action adventure is lots of fun," - Gamespot.com
This Deluxe Editions of Assassin's Creed 2 includes 3 bonus maps! Explore some of the Renaissance's most prestigious monuments to reveal secret treasures in three special in-game maps: Palazzo Medici, Santa Maria Dei Frari, and the Arsenal Shipyard.
Assassin's Creed® 2 is the follow-up to the title that became the fastest-selling new IP in video game history. The highly anticipated title features a new hero, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, a young Italian noble, and a new era, the Renaissance.
Assassin's Creed 2 retains the core gameplay experience that made the first opus a resounding success and features new experiences that will surprise and challenge players.
Assassin's Creed 2 is an epic story of family, vengeance and conspiracy set in the pristine, yet brutal, backdrop of a Renaissance Italy. Ezio befriends Leonardo da Vinci, takes on Florence's most powerful families and ventures throughout the canals of Venice where he learns to become a master assassin.
EZIO, A NEW ASSASSIN FOR A NEW ERA: Ezio Auditore da Firenze is a young Italian noble who will learn the ways of the assassins after his family was betrayed and he looks to seek vengeance. He is a lady’s man, a free soul with panache yet has a very human side to his personality. Through him, you become a master assassin.
RENAISSANCE ITALY: Italy in the 15th century was less a country and more a collection of city-states where families with political and economic strength began to take leadership roles in cities like Florence and Venice. This journey through some of the most beautiful cities in the world takes place in a time in history where culture and art were born alongside some of the most chilling stories of corruption, greed and murder.
A NEW-FOUND FREEDOM: You will be able to perform missions when you want and how you want in this open-ended world that brings back free-running and adds elements such as swimming and even flying to the adventure. The variety in gameplay adds another layer for you to truly play through the game any way you choose.
DYNAMIC CROWD: Discover a living, breathing world where every character is an opportunity for the player. Blending in with the crowd is easier, working with in-game characters provide ample rewards but can also lead to surprising consequences.
BECOME A MASTER ASSASSIN: Perfect your skills to become a master assassin where you brandish new weapons, learn to disarm enemies then use their weapons against them, and assassinate enemies using both hidden blades.

Long and beautiful.
arkantos | May 1, 2012 | See all arkantos's reviews »This is one of the best AC's games around, very long with awesome locations, a very long story, kept me busy for 40 hours almost non stop, also if you like to explore this game is completely "Free Roam". Wanna go on top of a building ? You can ! Wanna look for collectibles ? You can, I would say this is one of the best and safe buy of AC's game i did, you will be able to visit Venice and Florence, and as for me which i listened to the entire game made in Italian which made it feel real.

A great game ruined by the developer's greed!
lucebuce | Oct. 14, 2011 | See all lucebuce's reviews »Assassin's Creed 2 is, to put it mildly, EXCELLENT. I have been a great fan of the original even though it wasn't so popular and this game only expands and improves upon an already great formula.
AC2 has amazing visuals that have a full day-and-night cycle, four distinct cities with four distinct styles and looks and amazing animations and cutscenes.
The gameplay in AC2 is very fast paced as compared to the original. You can climb faster, fight faster, kill faster and move faster.You simply have to play it to believe it. The only gripe regarding the gameplay is that the game is very easy. The ability to perform counter-kills , like the original, is just an instant-kill ability. Coupled with the fact that the AI is not exactly the smartest and that if your health drops too low, you can just block your opponents and wait until it regenarates, the game can be very easy at times.
The story is magnificent coupled with amazing and lifelike voice acting and animations. The main character Ezio is a very devil-may-care character that people can appreciate and relate to. Although I preferred the first game's character , Altair, because unlike Ezio, Altair has been trained his whole life to be an assassin. And although Ezio still has the skills and abilities like parkour and climbing buldings and Eagle Vision, it can sometimes be a little annoying.
The only thing about this game which is really frustrating is the DRM. The DRM makes it so that you can't play the game unless you're always online. This system is horrible for people who'se internet is not that fast or is a little unstable. If you have a fast and stable net connection than this may not be a problem for you, but ultimately, everyone will hate this particular type of DRM and I can only wish that Ubisoft wisens up and gets rid of it for good.

Second times a charm.
emwearz | Sept. 21, 2011 | See all emwearz's reviews »While the first game built a solid foundation, many people found it very repetitive in nature with a character that was hard to enjoy.
The sequel fixes both of these issues, the characters and a revenged based plot instantly get the player hooked into Ezio's world. We start to really care about the character and believe the world he is living in.
As for the gameplay it may at first seem like more of the same, but the engine has been greatly refined. It is so much smoother to fight and jump from building to building.
In every way AC2 passes the original.

Better than the first game
kalil | Sept. 17, 2011 | See all kalil's reviews »Its a really great game,it´s better than the first (good dlcs and others in it) the plot and the gameplay is really good if you want and adventure and action game buy it! the really bad things are: the DRM from ubisoft ,The Internet connection is never stable on any PC, not to mention that there are people who have no connection at home. And if we add that your site is vulnerable to computer attacks,its horrible for playing a game (for a simple protection of the crackers and others)

Even Better Than the First
Mondu | Sept. 16, 2011 | See all Mondu's reviews »I loved the first game but after playing this I can see how much the game has improved. The story in AC2 is brilliant and engaging, offering more than just 'go kill this guy because we said so'. The story alone will take around 10 hours to complete, maybe more; and there's still all the exploration to do and collectables to find. The graphics look great and the architecture on the buildings really does make you feel like you're in Italy.
With many more additions compared to the first game there really is no reason for you to dislike this game if you enjoyed the first. This is definitely a game you don't want to miss!
