Assassin's Creed II

A well-dressed generic game.

I have been a big fan of stealth games since Splinter Cell and I really loved SC. When Assassin's Creed came out I was extremelly dissappointed because it did not nail any element and focused on the "dressing". The second one is the same but with even more dressing. The platforming is too easy because you can jump on basically anything. The fighting is a very simple and repetitive. And lastly the stealth is not very good and relies on extremelly scripted sequences. It is pretty, but I recommend the Splinter Cell series. This is my personal opinion but I think this falls into the "casual" crowd that has been so popular this console generation. If you do not take my word for it then give it a rental. To be nicer it might be trying to do too many things at one time. It tries to give a mind-blowing story, new gameplay, and new immersion but fails at each one.
