"Assassins Creed 2 has a lot of potential but doesn't quite meet it's full potential"
time to the Resistance in Italy and you play a man named Ezio who
happpens to be an assassin. You work with people like Leonado Di
Vinchi and help get rid of all the templars who are corrupt. There are
a lots of historic bits in the game. However the story is rather weak
and even though the concept was good. The whole plot seemed in some
ways pointless. Your can jump from one roof top to another, climb
walls, go swimming, row a boat, have a race, hire prostitutes
and thieves to distract your enermies etc. The gadgets
that you unlock are great and very useful when doing missions.
The combat system is good but at the same time, quite repetitve.
There are lots of puzzles to do and treasures to find however this
can be rather boring. You can go to a blacksmith and buy better
armour and weapons, dye your clothes, buy some medicine and poison,
also you can buy some paintings and information about where all the
hidden treasures are. Ezio can also bribe people to keep his wanted
level down so know one can find him and also take down wanted posters
off from the roof tops which is rather far fetched. The game itself
reminds me of Grand Theft Auto and Prince of Persia. Also the AI
is not as good as it should be. When you try to get your character to
climb up a building he will sometimes bounce off the wall and fall
into mid air and land flat onto the ground. That's the same problem
Prince of Persia Sands of Time had. There are a couple of glitches in
this game. The graphic's are good but mostly the buildings stand out
more than the characters.Assassins Creed 2 has a lot of potential but

Graphics - the graphic's are good but mostly the buildings stand out
more than the characters.
Gameplay - The combat system is good but at the same time,
quite repetitve and ocassionally your will do stupid things
from time to time.
How long will the game last? The main missions will last you 20 hours
also their races that need to be complete and treasures
