Assassins Creed II

After completing the Assassins Creed I I took a small gap for few weeks and then started the Assassins Creed II, the game start with Desmond escaping from the Templar's ‘Scientist’ to the Assassins Group or home group.  The game ends with a warning from god like people explained as ancient race, they say that the world might end soon and this is the 2nd time.

The game grew a lot more awesome from its predecessors, the weapons are good and more over every weapon type like short blade, swords, long swords, two handed weapons etc. are given special abilities with makes the user to judge the situation and attack with proper and not all weapons are carry able.  And more over, a small gun is introduced into the armlet of the assassin making him kill the enemy at range at a single shot unlike the blades which require more than 1.  Weapons are sold at weapon counters or blacksmith, the assassin had enough money to buy all and from middle of the game the money flow is limitless (frankly the game needs some better control of money).  The treasure chest are placed along the map like last time, but the good thing is that a map with treasure locations can be purchased from the PAINT (artisans) SHOP.

The graphics are well improved compared to the 1st version.  The texture, the lighting, the shadows and the climatic changes are all done very well.

The gameplay has some modifications, earlier we are required to go and do small small missions are like pick pocketing, interviewing, ease dropping etc., however these missions are not required at all except may be to earn few gold.  Also, the way the funny pick pocketing is done in old version is changed now, look at the video below:

Pick Pocketing- Assassins Creed II

The game play was a great and the controls for the PC version are almost the good as in PS3 versions.  Overall the game can be rated at 8.3/10 because the game lacks in fighting difficulties.  The fights are too easy to be dealt or at least just moderate, earlier it used to be tough to fight against some 6-8 folks at ones, but now I can fight nearly 16 of them at ones, the AI of the soldier need to be improved a bit and also the enemy needs to chase when assassin is escaping earlier it would be difficulty to get out of there notice, but now it became too easy, I actually can escape from them in seconds.  Rest everything in game is Great.
