Assassin's Creed 2


Set for release this Christmas, AC 2 is one of the year's most anticipated game along with Starcraft 2.The first sequel currently ranks among the top two or three best selling games for the playstation 3 and Xbox360. During the E3 2006 awards, it won the Best Action/Adventure Game by Game Critics Awards. Also, it bagged similar awards by IGN, Game Spot, Game Spy, Game Trailers and 1Up.com. Fans are set for another adventure in AC 2 as players step into the life of another assassin, Ezio who is also an ancestor of Mr Miles. According to producers, AC 2 was developed according to the feedbacks they had on various forums. In AC 1, players reprised the role of Altair who was later stripped of his ranks only for him to regain them back as the game progresses. In AC 2 however, it was told that Ezio started as a normal citizen. Something bad happened and forces the protagonist to learn the ways of an assassin. The plot is set to take place in Italy, during the renaissance. From the demos and videos I've watched on Youtube, players are able to perform a variety of new assasination methods and also gain access to new inventories. Leorndo Da Vinci makes an appearance in the game as well and helps Ezio throughout missions. In short, if you thought AC 1 had alot to offer, AC 2 is even more versatile with new systems such as money,factions, hire, transportation and many more.
