Fun gameplay and compelling story
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?

Lots of fun. Can't wait to play the whole series.
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.

Great game
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.

Classic, cool videogame!
I didn't buy this until 6 years after it was released, but I had always heard how fun the series was. This is apparently the best in the series. Main character Ezio Auditore is great, and free running around renaissance Italy is spectacular. I'm not too crazy about the Desmond Miles storyline, but there isn't much of that in the game anyway.

Awesome Game, wether you liked the first or not.
This game is far better than AC, and follows the story to the letter, if you like to kill your targets, without being seen, this game is for you, the new abilities are that you can kill people from hiding spots, like benches, and from the air, so , buy your copy today, and start a masacre.
