Assassin's Creed 2

Assassin's Creed 2 has you playing as Ezio, a young Italian man who seeks vegence for the wrongful execution of his father and brothers. The game is actually set in modern day time but through the use of a device called the Animus, you are sent back in time to see the memories of Ezio in the Renaissance Italy time period. First thing about this game is that it beats the hell out of the first Assassin's Creed. The gameplay is the same in most cases but the missions aren't repetitive as much anymore and you can actually make money and spend it on new weapons and armour or upgrade your Villa. The story is quite good and at times can be funny. My favorite line is when Ezio's Mother says to him, "Maybe you should focus more on your studies and focus less on getting vagina." Pardon my french but the main character Ezio is an asshole. Leonardo da Vinci makes numerous appearance in the game and invents weapons for Ezio. Every attempt Leonardo tries at befriending Ezio, Ezio igonores him and leaves. The game lacks no multiplayer which is always upsetting. I'm sure that the developers could've had a co-op mode where you kill a lot of guards or race to see who can kill the target first. The game is still excellent. My biggest problem was probably the graphics, because in the cutscenes the character's faces looked like they were from a wax museum. The voice acting is quite nice though. I'm sure many people will disagree with me for the score, but I give this games an 8.5/10.
