ASSASSINS CREED 2 Video Game Details

Are you ready for more Assassins Creed? If you have not played this game yet then it’s about time you started because the game is really quite fantastic. I had no idea a sequel was being made to this game until today! How great is that! If you like the game anyway. The main character of the game is Ezio who is “a young noble whose family was lost through rival ruling families’ betrayals.”The game takes place in Venice during the Renaissance.

The next issue of Gamer Informer magazine is going to spill out a bunch of details about the game. But you don’t really have to wait for the main spoilers because they have already leaked out online. And here they are:

  • You’ll have a ton of new weapons to choose from including an axe, a hammer, a mace, a spear, 2 different sword types, a spear axe, and 2 smaller blades
  • You CAN swim
  • Da Vincis workshop is in the game
  • Locations include Saint Marks Basilica, The Grand Canal, The Little Canal, and the Rialto bridge.
  • The game opens in 1476, Altair is from 1191
  • So you do indeed play as a new ancestor of Altair / Desmond

  • If you get beat up to much you will need to see a street side doctor to regain full strength.
  • Hidden objects (like flags in the first one) are there to uncover but this time if you track them down you will get in-game bonuses that make it worth your time.
  • Items include, flags, statues, and gold coins and more that isnt mentioned.
  • New enemy types with unique attitudes and weaknesses are present in the game. Archers are mentioned, as well as elite enemies, dagger wielders, “Brutish” armored troops with heavy armor and 2 handed swords and axes, and an intelligent halberd enemy will probe hiding places with their weapons if they think you’re near by.
  • While hiding in a hay bail you can assassinate people this time, but it may expose your position.
  • You can still climb towers and ride horses
  • The Lorendo de Medici assassination attempt is in the game.
  • There is now a night and day sequence in the game.

    I really hope this one wont be as repetitive as the first one.
    There is a lot of potential for this series. They can do a great many very interesting points in history and types of assassins.

    When I turned the first game on I was blown away. 3 hours later I turned it off and sold it back to the store. The repitition made the game dull, and if what this preview says is true, then I will be all over it like a date at the prom…

    i was a rarity apparently who was not bothered at all by the repetition of the first game (beaten it 3 times now). i think it was simply a very polished and visceral game, and this one sounds like it’ll top the first one in every way! can NOT wait!!!

    I to was apparently one of those rare people not bothered by the repetition in the first game, but this ones going to be 10 times better than the first
