  Ubisoft has done it again

  • Incentivized

  For those of you thinking about buying this game all I can say is I definetly recommend it provided you have a very good internet connection that is reliable if not you might find yourself getting frusterated with getting kicked out only to have to restart from the last checkpoint. Me myself I had no true complaint with this though it happend a few times it wasnt horrible and normally only happend when I was just starting a new scene so it didnt actually kick back to another checkpoint just restarted the scene again. I must say as far as gameplay and graphics go Ubisoft did it again its a true tribute to assasins creed with a decent storyline and not as repetitive as its predecessor its a great game. The only downfall I see as in which most games have is things like with the hangglider you see that so much in the commercials well you only get to use it twice throughout the game its not like its an item you can use at your every whim which would be cool if you could but alas its just a marketing ploy again. If you liked a assasins creed 1 then you enjoy this one as well if you didnt you still may enjoy this game to. Overall Id say its a tribute to the original.

  Great game

  First off. Yes, this game requires a constant internet connection to play. Anyone who hasnt been living under a rock the last 5 years or so has heard of a game called .....World of Warcraft?? Yes, Gasp! Another game that requires constant internet connection! So stop crying about being treated like criminals because you cant get away with getting it for free. The graphics are amazing. The storyline is great. Fun to explore the cities. There are side missions you can do. All things considered this game is excellent.

  Amazing game

  • Incentivized

  Compared to the first it is much improved and the story is excellent. The first one for me was very repetitve but not this one was not. The graphics are stunning controls were great for the xbox not sure about the pc, it does say its reccommended to use a xbox 360 controller. This game was honestly one of the best i have ever played the story is excellent. People should honestly not complain about aving to have a internet connection because honestly to many people get away with just getting the game for free and many game companies have stopped making great exclusive titles for the PC because of this reason, if your connection can disconnect alot then just save alot not really that big of a deal.
