A game that beats its predecessor by far and will keep you addicted for weeks.
There are many new fun additions to the game like armor customization, which lets you choose a color set and you can get better armor. But if you get into the heat to much, you'll end up damaging it and you will have to get it repaired at some point. There are also more weapons, which you can buy from a blacksmith or pick them up off the bodies of your slain enemies. You can also help build and fix your town, getting more people to go there so you can make more money. There is many more things to, like looting, pickpocketing, double hidden blade, and lots of mini games which add to the storyline.
Overall, Assassins Creed II is a very fun and addictive game, with a capturing storyline, and lots of action. Oh, and by the way, be warned for Uncle Marios famous line. You'll know what I mean when you hear it.
