The first assassin’s creed game was an impressive concept that got a little lost inside an open world and strange story line. But none of the problems that bugged the first game are in the sequel. This is a lot more fun to play. The levels vary a lot more and you don’t get the same sense that once you have done the first 3 missions you have done them all that you got from the first game.


The graphics are strange they go from the brilliant to the ridiculous. After putting so much time into the city and characters it seemed strange when something happened like skin appearing blurry (yes in the bit where she takes her top off that’s why I’m complaining). One second you may be thinking that’s amazing the next second your thinking have I the PS3 set to 1080p or is the scart cable in. But for the vast majority of the game it looks incredible. They really have created beautiful cities but not only that, cities that feel like they are alive.  

The game itself follows on from Assassins creed 1 with you in the present being sent back through time through memories to live out the story of Ezio Adoitore. You start as a smooth talking Italian only interested in fighting and women but soon things take a turn for the worst. As the story takes shape through some twists and turns that show your family may not be what you thought. You take on the role of the assassin. The hooded, knife wielding, stealth assassin out for revenge. In today’s world you would be called a hoody and given an ASBO for carrying knives. You must use your new skills to disappear amongst the crowds as you must rely on you animosity to survive and exact your revenge.
