Assassin's Creed 2 Deluxe Edition (Gift / Region Free)

The file is the main vehicle for commercial success. Take Gears of War 2 Game Brief, Uncharted 2 Game Brief, Left 4 Dead 2 Game Brief, or The Sims 3 Game Brief. Each of these blockbusters has overtaken its ancestor through careful work on mistakes. Assassin's Creed 2 has matured in the same field. Boring chatter? Minimize. The dominance of obsessive tasks of the same type? Diversify. Scenery cities with nothing to do? Add new assignments and "secrets". Banal combat system? Refresh your arsenal of tricks. Maybe that's how the sequel ideas were brainstormed at Ubisoft Montreal.

Of course, those who hate the parkourist Altair, who automatically "sticks" to the walls, and sigh at times when the undershoot by a millimeter was thrown back to the beginning of the stage, will consider Assassin's Creed 2 a casual arcade. They are also worse off - they will miss a rare chance to look into Italy of the Renaissance, where the centuries-old war of the Hasishins and the Templars entered a new round. We will get there, as before, through the genetic memory of Desmond Miles, a young man from the XNUMXst century, connected to the Animus system.

Twelve episodes-memories span as many as 23 years, from 1476 to 1499. Ezio's adventures are not a set of plotless murders, but a long chain of missions, tightly connected with cutscenes and dialogues. The authors cleverly fit the Auditore into the historical landscape of the Renaissance, rich in such colorful personalities as Caterina Sforza, Lorenzo de Medici, Niccolo Machiavelli and Leonardo da Vinci. The ingenious inventor has a special role to play - he helps the future hashishin by deciphering the pages of the secret manuscript he found and improving the weapon.
