Iconic and beautiful with plenty to do, but not so large so that it is a pain to navigate, Assassin's Creed 2 masters the 15th Century metropolis, engaging with the histories of these cities through characters such as Machiavelli, Da Vinci and the Medici family. Rome in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood was a large, sprawling mess, but Florence and Venice in Assassin's Creed 2 are the perfect size. Whether Ezio is climbing up the magnificent Duomo of Florence or leaping over the canals of Venice, Renaissance Italy is the most spectacular environment to explore as an assassin. Though the series' graphics have improved over the years, there's yet to be a setting that topped the cities in Assassin's Creed 2. Players were also able to invest their money and bring the town of Monteriggioni back to its former glory, when they weren't off killing Templars. The second game set the standard that Assassin's Creed should be more than just hunting down targets: Collectibles, mercenaries, merchants and side missions bring the world to life. Assassin's Creed 2 introduced smoke bombs, poisoned blades and a hidden wrist-gun to the player's arsenal, also allowing them to unlock and purchase superior weapons and armor at local stores.ĪC 2 was incredibly innovative in creating a living, open-world where there was more interaction and customization than in the first game. Cities were bigger and better-looking than in the original Assassin's Creed, but most significant was the diversification of an assassin's weaponry.
Assassin's Creed 2 laid the groundwork for its sequels, while still being an enjoyable game in and of itself.
