Many praise the game's graphics and the improved fighting mechanics, although some find the combat system challenging at times. Positive feedback also highlights the variety of weapons and the addition of swimming mechanics. The game's voice acting also receives acclaim for its high quality.
I played the original Assassin's Creed several years ago when it first came out, and remember it being very well done, but somewhat repetitive. After taking a 6 year break from Assassin's Creed, I decided to give the second, well received installment, a go. I'm glad I did! It has all of the atmosphere, authentic feeling environments and innovative gameplay that made the first game great, with much more interesting and varied story missions. After blowing through the first half of the story, I'm trying to take longer by completing all of the entertaining and varied (but sometimes tedious) side quests before getting to the end. I've never bought a game expansion before, but now seriously considering downloading the two "left out" memory sequences (if they still sell it). Plus the overarching story between the assassins and tie backs into the legacy of Altair just keeps me wanting more. I have a feeling I'm going to be hooked to this franchise for a while, like many others. And to pick up the most critically acclaimed installment of the series for $15, why not?

Got this one at the recommendation of a Best Buy employee and have really enjoyed it. I like the story, graphics, and quests. Freedom to roam around, do side quests, and practice assassin skills. Fighting response not always as fast as I would like though. Still loads of fun and motivates me to buy others in the series.

Being playing AC for some time now. Probably the best game in the whole series. Some could argue the newest releases have better graphics and are more impressive, but this game's story, cities, missions and game play are the basics of all the others. Safe bet to buy.
