Assassin's Creed II (PS3)

Assassins Creed II is an absolutely amazing game, the detail and adventure involved in the game is just stunning, and it had me hooked all the way through to the end of the game.

Assassins Creed II is an open world, non-linear type game that takes place in 14th Century Italy. The game allows players to roam freely across several different regions throughout Italy. The Animus 2.0 is a new addition to the game and provides historical information on the famous landmarks you see throughout Venice, Tuscany and the other regions you can explore.

Since the last game, alot has been changed. The health system is now more dynamic, with your health being recharged for minor injuries, although major injuries will require medical attention from the many doctors in the city. You know, obviously do not play as Altair from the 1st game, but Ezio Auditore instead. Having a new character to play as, means new abilities, like the ability to swim, and you will also have use of dual hidden blades to have fun with.

Like Assassin's Creed, characters based on historical figures are present in the game including Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolò Machiavelli, Caterina Sforza, Lorenzo de' Medici, the Pazzi Family, and Pope Alexander VI.

Overall, a very very fun game that will have you hooked until the end.
