About
Assassin's Creed II is the second installment in the AC series, the center of which is stealths kills, exploring the world and enemy encounters. It is the straight sequel to the first part of the series and the beginning of the Ezio — the protagonist — trilogy, followed by 'Brotherhood' and 'Revelation.'
The events take place in Rome, during the Italian Renaissance (1476-1499), we play as Ezio Auditore and are fighting against Knight Templar, being the Assassins. At the same time, all of the installments within a series are connected with each other by the Desmond storyline: all of the enchanted worlds he travels to are just simulations achieved through using "Animus" — a particular device which gets in the DNA and allows its user to drive around their memories.
The game involves following mechanics — presuming the player to chase around some target, not moving to close, but not getting far at the same time; exploring quests — the heart of movement mechanics is parkour, and fighting — hero's arsenal involves swords, spears, and other melee weapons as well as ranged ones: bows, crossbows, and javelins.

Assassin's Creed II reviews and comments
The 2 things that I had major problems was the janky overloaded controls and the lack of feather map.
Other than that the game was a very unique idea with awesome background music. Cool mechanics, cool protagonist and cool side characters.
Combat has been streamlined, Italy is designed beautiful and fun to traverse and Ezios character and story is fantastic.
Ubisoft completely blew me away from the get-go.
The characters, story, soundtrack, environment, and everything else all added up to be one of the most enjoyable and action-packed games I've ever played. Sure, there were some trailing missions here and there, but the real meat of the game was so fun! Ezio (or should I say Desmond?) is such a likable protagonist and his story was instantly intriguing.
If you've never played this game before, or any other game in the franchise, I implore you to give this one a chance. I am certain you'll (at the very least) find it to be an entertaining experience!
