Assassin's Creed 2 - Review

So for the past 2 weeks or so I have been playing this and yeah completed it the other day and can probably can get the Platinum ps3 trophy if i put the effort in and collect all the little feathers scattered about the map.

The Good Points 


I really Enjoy the storyline of this game and found it interesting and am now am awaiting the 3rd instalment in this series, the game seems to have 2 story lines running in it the first being you are an Italian assassin named Ezio trying to achieve vengeance for your families death and uncovering the conspiracy that lead to their deaths, then there is the other storyline of you being a a man put back in time to help stop the templars and then there is some science fiction stuff along with that which i found interesting and solving number 16's mystery.

Also other things that I liked about this game are the scenes and views that you get of renaissance Italy look really amazing and are well created by the designers here. and the whole environment really adds to the game that takes you back to that era of history , also it is nice to see an era of history in games that hasn't really 

The Bad Points   


on of my main problems with this game is the controls the amount of times i shouted at the tv ''don't do that you idiot'' because of the control system also the aiming system as well it just really winds me up and feel it really subtracts from the game it really did wind me up and some mission I had to replay just because ezio would not jump and pull a leaver at a certain time.

I found the game really started off very slowly and for the first hour or so of playing this game i was wondering what the hell had i brought it was just boreing and dull i did stop for a few days due to the boreingness of the opening levels were you have to blend in with crowds and due to my impatience i just wanted to storm off and do some fun shit, maybe for the thrid game if they want to improve make that introductory tutorial hour that all games these days seems to have better for gods sake make it better.

Overall 


once i got into this game i really did enjoy it the first hour or slow were really slow but once i passed through that intial hour or slow i became slowly immersed in the game and really enjoyed playing it, this is probably the perfect game for anyone with borderline OCD as there is just so much to collect and amass secret seals and codes which does mean you can get a lot out of the game if you care about such things.  yeah so this can be a fun game i imagine its very divisive if you like it or not. 

So I would give this game 7.5/10
