This game is cool enough, I played it on my friends computer, bc I refuse to buy it, but the whole continual connection thing is stupid and makes it unplayable for me most of the time. For those who are in the military and don't have the luxury have having a stable and continual connection just boycott.

There was a lot of talk about constant internet access related to this game... You need a constant internet connection? REALLY? Hello... this is 2010... Most of us have broadband at this point... lost in all that blathering (and it was just that) was the fact that Assassins Creed Franchise offers a rich and fascinating look at history. While factually questionable at best, it's story is rich in lore and fantasy and offers a glimps into a world that we can only dream about. I had the opportunity to run this game, using NVIDIA 3d technology and was immersed in the level of detail and fun in the gameplay. As someone who is not a KID and rarely enjoys most of the mind numbing stories out there, I give this game an A+. I highly recommend it.

This Game Was very good. well except for one or two things. First let me start with the good. The Story moves along very quickly not to say that the game is short but it never feels like your being made to go back in do something. In AC1 you had to do this missions but if you didn't do enough of those missions they would just send you back. In this game there is nothing like that. I also like the Econimic system. In the first game i would sometimes walk to a store person and ask him "how much is this". Hoping one day you could buy in the AC series. Well now i got my wish. However their are 1 or 2 problems the controls are very bad. when ever i want to run i always, by habit, press shift. and that by itself ruins the whole control system. sometimes this would get realy annoying. Also AC1 has this problem as well their is no difficuilty setting. it wasn't such a bad thing in AC1 because it was not really difficult but it wasn't so easy i would never die. However in AC2 the only times i would die is when i kill myself on purpose or when im in the middle of a battle and leave and forget to but pause. so the game is much easier then the first where the first put a little bit of challenge. This did sadden me that i could kill people without tring but it still is satisfing to see a spear go through the enemies chest. The Graphics is always perfect AC1 was very good but AC2 is alittle better which is good because AC1 was already good to start with. So I recomend get this game as soon as possible but be sure you have internet connection which was something a little fusturating about this game as well when i went to my cousins house in another state they didn't have internet connection so i couldn't play. But still none of this changes the fact that this game is very good. :)

Despite the obvious uproar about the DRM in this game, it isn't all that bad. Everyone was complaining about how you would have to suckle at Ubisoft's teet in order to play, and how you would lose your progress if the ubi servers went down, or you lost your net, but I have yet to experience any issues with it for a few reasons. 1) Its the 21st century. Seriously, if you lose your net connection constantly enough to tick you off, you should contact your ISP. You are just as dependent on your internet if you are playing the latest greatest FPS such as BC2. 2) Ubisoft has yet to deny me connection. I can see how this will be an issue later on when they decide this game isn't worth the upkeep for servers and that still gets at me, but other than that there are very few issues. The DRM is fairly simple. You start up the game, a small launcher comes up to synchronize your save games (takes 4 seconds), and then the game starts. The connection between Ubisoft and me is established during that annoying Ubisoft logo intro video, so I can jump right into my game.Despite having 3 midterms this week, I still managed to beat the game by friday and am about 1/3 of the way through my 2nd play through.The actual game now;Challenge:If you are a veteran from AC 1 and played it as much as me and can take on a good deal of troops without losing a few bars of health, the challenge in this game only exists if you have to avoid detection. This game doesn't let you completely own by counters any more, as all the counters really serve for is to create an opening. Escaping troops is actually much easier in this game with smoke bombs and the like. You can also jump in the water and basically be invincible unless there are archers.Graphics:Little has changed graphically from AC 1, the only real difference is that there is more crowds in the streets, which I suppose creates a greater sense of realism, but the overall graphics are still the same, as the game models have little difference in overall style, and the city layout is the same with new skins.Length:The game could be a bit longer, it feels the same length as AC 1. And Ubisoft's ideas to not repeat the same cycle of repetitiveness that was presented in AC 1 is lax to say the least. The game still feels repetitive, just takes a little bit longer to sense it.Storyline:Like in AC 1, the concept is cool, but the overall content in how each event contributes to the overall story is not that impressive.Controls:Same overall scheme as AC 1, but there are many things that ticked me off while playing the game. For example, you hit "Q" to select your "weapon wheel" in which you can move around your mouse to select a weapon, but the controls for it are very sensitive, and I find myself selecting my dagger instead of my sword and the like. The camera in some parts is also extremely annoying. You go from viewing Ezio from the rear like in Mass Effect to the camera panning out at a distance and viewing him at an angle....Interface:Similar complaint to the weapon wheel above. Also, you have to pause, click "Inventory" and click an item category to even see what you have in your inventory. I wish there was a button to push, such as I, to see your inventory, not having to click 3 times to even see what items you have for a category.Sound:Pretty good, but not amazing.Overall, the main thing that people have an issue with this game, the DRM, is not that bad, people always just need something to complain about. Overall, Assassin's Creed II is a nice play, but it brings little new to the table, as it is basically just AC 1 with a few new improvements, a cool new looking robe, minor customization, and some combat improvements. Bad? No. Leaving more to be desired? Yes.

Sorry to those with bad internet...

DRM is only a problem if your internet is unstable. It's not invasive since it doesn't record your information, it just checks to see that you're connected. An MMO requires a monthly fee, so to say it's being treated like one is an over-reaction. They should make a better system though, it makes playing while traveling either expensive or impossible.

DRM - It IS as bad as they say

Posted on: 3/2/10

Flagg

Let me clarify all the hype about DRM. It's this simple. If your internet drops, your game is interrupted. Period. I don't care if it's a pause, a DC, or a logout to desktop, It's invasive, stupid, and no game with this scheme will ever grace my hard drive. If you think this is going to go smooth, think again. The point is, no internnet, no play. This is being treated like an MMO without the benefits.

DRM not as bad as assumed...

Posted on: 2/22/10

I feel the need to comment on the constant internet connection. Ubisoft responded to people's frustration and it's not as bad as people are making it out to be. If you lose your internet connection, it does NOT make you quit the game. It waits infinitely for the connection to re-establish, then starts you off at the last checkpoint. There are lots of checkpoints, so you'll be back where you left off soon enough. If you only lose the connection for a few seconds, it'll just pause the game. While I agree this isn't the best method, it's certainly not as bad as people are assuming.
