Assassin’s Creed II is a non-linear third person action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles, and Microsoft Windows. It is the second video game installment of the Assassin’s Creed series and is a direct sequel to the 2007 video game Assassin’s Creed. The game was released on video game consoles in November 2009, and will be released on Microsoft Windows in February 2010 in Europe and in March 2010 in North America.

Here are many features added on the Assains character like swim in water and eagle vision- the ability to identify specific people and landmarks – can now be used in third-person view and while moving. Assassin’s Creed II was met with universal acclaim, garnering aggregated scores of 92% and 91% for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 respectively, from review aggregator Metacritic. It has also garnered a score of 93% on review aggregator Moby Games. The game was praised for its stronger emphasis on open-world exploration and interaction, non-linear gameplay and greater mission variety compared to the first Assassin’s Creed. The game was also credited with improved non-player character AI and combat mechanics, and its new economic system.

The missions in the game now have an expanded variety, with different structuring. For example, a mission may have the objective to escort someone, but may change to a chase and assassination. Investigation is less explicit, and instead missions may follow people and/or a narrative. There are roughly 200 missions in this game; about half are part of the main storyline, while the rest are side quests. Cities also contain hidden locations such as catacombs and caves, the design of which have been compared, by the developers, to the Prince of Persia series, where the objective is to navigate the area. Exploring these locations eventually rewards the player with an Assassin’s symbol, six of which allow the player to unlock the armor of Altaïr.

Like Assassin’s Creed, characters based on historical figures are present in the game including Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolò Machiavelli, Caterina Sforza, Lorenzo de’ Medici, the Pazzi Family, and Pope Alexander VI.

Locations in the game include the Tuscany region. (Florence, Monteriggioni and San Gimignano), the Apennine Mountains, the Romagna region (Forlì), Venice and Rome. Specific landmarks include St Mark’s Basilica, the Grand Canal, the Little Canal, the Rialto Bridge, Santa Maria del Fiore, the Sistine Chapel, Santa Croce, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, and Santa Maria Novella.
