Assassin’s Creed II gamers play the role of Ezio, a privileged young noble in Renaissance Italy who’s been betrayed by the rival ruling families of Italy, in a quest for vengeance. What happened to Altair and the events of the first Assasin’s Creed? Hmmm…
Check out the new features of AC2:
- Your range of weapons has been greatly increased, with new armaments including two swords, two “smaller blades”, a mace, spear and an axe.
- No more silly drownings, as Altair can now swim.
- As expected, Da Vinci’s workshop features in the game (it’s set in 1476), and yes, you’ll be gliding around on those wings of his.
- The game stars real characters of the time, including Machiavelli and Florence’s powerful Medici family
- There are now “16 unique mission types”. And, thankfully, no more pickpocket or eavesdropping ones.
- Tracking down hidden flags will now net you in-game rewards, rather than a simple sense of self-satisfaction.
Do we also get more of hot game developer Jade Raymond?
