They've lovingly crafted a set of gameplay systems that not only improved on their first entry, but also rendered it completely obsolete.
They've reinvented the wheel here, if that wheel is environmental exploration stealth games, and they've set the bar for any game that claims to include anything resembling this set of qualities. It's got the scope of a GTA, some of my favourite stealth ever in a video game and two memorable protagonists wrapped up in an epic plot. It's got me starving for the next entry and they haven't even announced that formally yet. Assassin's Creed 2 is an early Christmas gift I won't soon forget."

This weekend from August 10-14, players can play for free Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood, Revelations, Black Flag and Valhalla on Xbox, PlayStation and PC (availability dependent on platform).
GF365: "Most games are not perfect and that may be because of a character or an enemy. Here are 10 mediocre bosses in great games."
The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.
