Assassin’s Creed II Attracts Many New Players III

Posted: 23 Dec 2009 10:01 PM PST

4As we learn more about Ezio and become acquainted with his hometown of Florence, the game presents bite-sized bits of information on how to play Assassin’s Creed II. This interweaving of plot and tutorial establishes an intriguing tale of revenge and slowly explains a varied and complicated control scheme.


In the early missions, we’re introduced to the excellent free running system that allows players to climb over almost any surface. Movement speed in Assassin’s Creed II has been significantly increased from the first game, enabling players to fluidly zip around the city. The animations are still excellent, and Ezio’s body realistically adjusts to his environment as he climbs and vaults past obstacles. The only downside of free running is that there are moments when the camera doesn’t present the best view of what’s over the next rooftop. Overzealous free runners will take more damage from falling off buildings than they’ll ever take from a sword.

For better or for worse “stealth” games are defined by the Metal Gear series. Hideo Kojima’s vision of tactical espionage has extremely rigid rules about when a player is hidden and when they are plainly visible. Assassin’s Creed II breaks this convention, adhering more to the rules of a Jason Bourne movie, where quick actions and a dense crowd are the tools of escape. I find this version of stealth refreshing, more realistic, and ultimately a success due to the numerous options players have when navigating the city streets.
