Assassin's Creed II 2009

Is it still worth playing?

Ubisoft Montreal's 2009 action adventure for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, set in the Italian Renaissance between 1476 and 1499, in which you play Ezio Auditore. Its story follows the long struggle between the Assassins and the Templars, through the memories of Ezio relived by his descendant Desmond Miles in the 21st century. The cities include Florence, Venice, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano and Forli. About 150 missions, roughly two thirds of them main story, mix hack and slash combat, stealth and exploration, and a notoriety system sets how alert the guards are. Health regenerates only from minor injuries, and serious ones need a doctor or medicine. Free running and a choice of how to handle each situation, with several ways past the guards, are the draw today, in a Renaissance Italy with an orchestral score.
