Assassin's Creed II: Game of the Year
The original Assassin's Creed was a terrific concept, but wasn't exciting due to the extreme hardness and repetitiveness of the missions. Assassin's Creed II takes everything that was wrong with the first game and makes it 50 times better, takes everything that was good with the first game and amplifies it 100 times. The game play was fantastic, as were the controls, the dialog, the characters, and the overall story. The Ezio character, I feel, far surpasses the Altair character from the first Assassin's Creed, and makes the leading role seem more human, due to his playboy-esque mannerisms. This game takes the open world concept that was lacking in the first game and utilizes it to make the experience seem more realistic. The mixture of history (including characters like Leonardo da Vinci, Amerigo Vespucci's family, the Medici family, and Pope Alexander VI) and fiction made this game stand out from the rest of the games for PlayStation 3. I give this game a perfect rating and I highly, HIGHLY recommend it. Buona Fortuna

ACII Great Game For Any New AC Fan
AC 2 is a must have if you are a newcomer to the AC game series. I started with AC3, completed it and bought AC 2 because reviews all said it was a must have. And its pretty much true, I found myself immersed in the game-play and challenging aspects of the game just as I was in AC 3. One drawback I noticed was the graphics on some parts were not up to par with AC 3 but it does not take away from the game. It is what it is when the game was released and it still is a fun game to play. Definitely buy this if you are considering to expand your AC game collection. It is a very fun game to play!
