I couldn't put down the controller and sleep while playing this game. Highly addictive and enjoyable. Now
Ubisoft continues to bring great game every year and this year they did a massive job.
ACII is no doubt the (optimal) or (ideal) game of this year. I know some people would argue that there are great games that are even better than ACII, for example: Dragon Age and Uncharted2.
Okay I agree that they are better in some aspects, but when it comes to the game as a whole ACII is the best.
Okay I know that you are annoyed by my long introduction (SORRY), but now I will go through the real stuff so please give me a chance and read this until the end.
Story: the most important aspect of any game and this one is amazing; you start as this young man called Ezio in Italy and he is a son of a wealthy man and the story takes back and forth until he becomes an assassin.
Many things have been added to this game compared to the first AC as you get involved with many other characters whom can help you through the journey. The length of the story is not short and not too long, so it keeps you interested, engaged and never annoyed.
Graphics: WOW, I can't imagine how these guys managed to simulate the city of Flourence; the amount of details is unbelievable. The great thing is that details are not only displayed in Flourence; wait until you see Venice.
Oh, I almost forgot the character's (Ezio) design is great, his looks and movement are amazing. all this is done in a game that will long and takes through different places and environments and believe when I say that graphics are still in the same level.
Sound: sound design is great; the back ground music is imaginative and engaging. The voices of different crowds and cities. And most importantly the voice acting is perfect.
Gameplay: In this game new things will be added as you can get help from other individuals and groups. The agility of the character is better than ever; its easier now to climb, run and fight. The amazing feature from the first game (the leap of faith) is still there.
More weapons, Armor, secrets and missions (less side missions!!!).
Don't miss the second hidden blade (WOW).
For me, this is the best game released to this date. Wish you enjoy it.
Thank you for reading.
