Product Description
Get ready to plunge into the lush and deadly world of the Italian Renaissance, an era of arts, riches and murderous conspiracy. Assassin's Creed II introduces you to Ezio, a new assassin carrying on the deadly lineage of his forebears. Confront an epic tale of power and corruption as you hone your assassin's art, wielding weapons and instruments designed by the legendary Leonardo Da Vinci himself in this gripping and deadly sequel.
In Assassin's Creed 2, you "relive" the life of an assassin during the Italian Renaissance in this open-world action adventure game. The goal is to exact revenge upon conspirators who have framed and executed loved ones; the goal is to be accomplished through assassination.
As players roam the crowded streets of Florence, Italy, they can creep through catacombs and corridors, undertake diverse side-missions, and tail-and-assassinate all manner of human targets-politicians, Templar soldiers, and conspirators. Players can also brawl with family rivals or engage in sword fights with Templar soldiers, but in most cases, they use stealth techniques to complete the mission; for example, players can sneak up on enemies from behind and kill them with hidden daggers, poisoned daggers, spring-activated blades, and swords.
When blades connect, blood shoots out in a fountain-like manner as targets groan or scream. These stealth-kills are sometimes depicted close-up and are somewhat graphic: the camera follows the "herky-jerky" thrusts of the blade; the player hears a distinctly "wet" flesh-impact sound. The most graphic depictions of violence occur during cinematic cut-scenes.
A short live-action movie (i.e., not animated) is included with the game. During a dramatic sword fight, an enemy's throat gets slashed-exposing a wide gash in his neck-as the body flails in front of the camera. The spurts and sprays of blood that accompany some of the stabbing attacks can be intense.

 I don't like renting my games September 9, 2010

PAY TO PLAY, and all the big boys are doing everything they can to scratch their way to it. So, if YOU pay for any game that requires anything more than a CD check or a CD key YOU are hurting the gaming industry in a big way!
 Naysayers notwithstanding... September 7, 2010

This was an excellent game in every way. Despite all the naysayers' complaints, being connected to the internet in order to play had absolutely ZERO affect on the quality of the game. In fact, you don't have to manually save games because they're saved automatically. Yes, during the hours/days/weeks that I played, my internet connection went down for about 10 minutes. The game hung in limbo until the internet came back, and I was right back at it. I understand that the mandatory internet connection makes some people freak out, but it was really no problem at all. The game is terrific.
Best PC Game I've Ever Played- Period! September 5, 2010

Forget all the talk about the DRM stuff- I've only been disconnected once with Cable Modem. This is simply the best game I've played in 30 years of gaming! It's the most interesting, addicting, open, game out there! I loved AC1, and this game improves on that immensely. It's taken me about 40 hours or so to get every little thing in the game- all missions, side missions, treasures, etc. You definitely get your money's worth, and then some. I love that it's single player only. All the other games feel they have to have a multiplayer component, but for die hard old school gamers, a great single player game is fantastic! This goes right up there, and surpasses, my all-time favorite games- Bioshock, GTA series, and Prototype. It mixes the best of many gaming types, and it's not as lame as the RPG games. The attention to detail in this game is amazing. Just the citizens having conversations among themselves, guards chasing you up ladders- and using the same other means of movement you do. That is really unique in this game. Now it's still relatively easy to win every battle with guards, etc., but the puzzles in the tombs, stealth missions, etc. are quite challenging. I also like that you don't have to do everything in a single order. The game develops as you choose where to go and what to do for the most part. All in all, if you have a solid internet connection, don't hesitate for a moment to play this game- Easily the game of the Decade!
