5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Fear the DRM. This is a great game!
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2011
Platform For Display: PC DownloadEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
I don't understand the fuss about DRM. Assassin's Creed II is a vast and exciting game. Did you watch the credits at the end of the game? Did you see the hundreds of designers, developers, voice actors, etc all over the world that it took to make a game this stunning? In an age when the pirated copy of a game shows up on line the day before its market release, we have only ourselves to blame if developers need to find new ways to protect their work.

I avoided DRM games for years believing all the hype until finally buying and playing AC2. I played the entire game without even one crash, server lockout, pop-up ad, spam--nothing. And sorry, the argument that you can't play DRM games on a plane? Really? Are you going to play a game like this on a plane? It's a little intense for the tray-table.

I think the online DRM is far better than having to find the dang disk every time you want to play. Better than having the CD spinning, sucking battery life and putting mileage on your drive. In an age of WoW the argument that "I have to be online all the time" makes no sense. I almost suspect all the negative reviews complaining about DRM are spam from disgruntled hackers.
So if you were like me and passed up games like AC for fear of some big brother corporate intrusion, don't be. The only drawback is that it takes several steps to start the game and quit. That's it. The dozens of 1-star reviews have nothing to do with the game and do a disservice to the developers and designers.

Now for the game itself, I'm not a big fan of 1st-person shooter/slasher but this game is amazing if for nothing else than the sheer vastness of its environment. You are set free in Renaissance Florence and Venice as well as several other smaller Tuscan hill fort towns. You can literally get lost for hours springing from rooftops. The voice acting and character animation is some of the best I've ever seen. Unlike other games where the characters get recycled over and over, each of the dozens of NPCs you encounter is unique. Even the townspeople crowding the streets show remarkable variety.

I highly recommend using a USB game controller. There are A LOT of button commands, many of them involving timed combinations, and finding the right keys while leaping off tall buildings being chased by half of the city watch, is beyond my manual dexterity. But my $15 Gigaware controller did just fine.

The story is needlessly complicated in my opinion. The motives for our young avatar are clear enough without the strange X-files/Da Vinci Code global conspiracy thing. The (fortunately infrequent) interruptions into the present-tense of the game are a distraction.

It is important to note AC2 shares more DNA with Mario Bros than Myst. It's really about finding the best route to run across the rooftops and ambush your victim. There are very few things to `figure out' and the few times our hero has to interact with objects they are highlighted with glowing diamonds. Once you learn a tactic (i.e. use courtesans to distract the Codex guards) you can use it over and over with the same effect. Sadly, there were few times in the game when I was surprised by the action. I'd happily trade a few sq miles of game space for a little more of an intellectual challenge to the missions. Whenever I tried to get clever and work out an elegant plan, it always ended up in failure with the successful option usually running up to your mark, stabbing him, and running away as fast as possible. The guards are tediously clueless. You can slowly pick off guys keeping watch on a tower one by one (ten little Indians style) without any of them catching on. "Hey, where did Mario and Tony go? They were just here..." Combat is pretty easy too. For all the dozens of tactics available, locking onto an opponent and wailing away on him with `Attack' usually does the job. The guards rarely break out of their polite ninja movie style one-at-a-time attack. I hope Revelations makes the opponents a bit more cunning and demands more recon and strategy on the gamers' part.

But that aside, the environment is truly stunning. I've never encountered a game with so much space. I played addictively for weeks and I know there are areas I never explored. While the back alleys are filled with clones, there are dozens of unique landmarks all over the game. It's great fun to climb to the top of the Giotto's Campanile, or run across the roof of St. Mark's Basilica on your way to assassinate a corrupt Doge. I don't know if it's a game you'll want to replay they way I revisit old friends in the Myst franchise or conquer the world over and over with Civilization games, but for a few weeks, I expect you'll be transfixed by this stunning game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing game, frustrating DRM system with some bonuses
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2010
Platform For Display: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase
Let's just say up front, Assassin's Creed 2 is one of the best games I've ever seen, let alone played. The story is immersive, the gameplay is great. The best part though, is the overall feeling of the game. It feels so great to walk the busy streets of Renaissance Italy, and it feels even better to free run across the rooftops. The graphics, atmosphere and animations are amazing, and within these beautifully recreated cities, there's a great game to be played.

Now the DRM. I was really frustrated by this at first. I heard it would always be cutting me off, I wouldn't ever be able to connect, and the world would end. However, my time in the game is at least 40 hours now, and I've never had an issue at all, even though my internet isn't even that stable. If you're mostly playing games at home, I wouldn't worry that much honestly.

The aspect of the DRM people don't mention is that it allows you to install it an as many PC's as you want, with your saved games synchronized online. What does that mean? It means I can install it on my friends laptop at work, and pick up right where I left off at home. Or at my other friend's home computer. It also means they can make their own profile (you can have 3) and play through the game themselves whenever I'm not playing, all without a disc.

I probably sound like a Ubisoft representative, but I was really surprised and pleased with how this system actually worked out. It sounds awful on paper, but it can end up being quite handy. Now, if I regularly played games on my laptop on the train (a believable situation, though if you read the DRM reviews it seems as if the only place anyone EVER plays games is on a train) or some other situation where internet was unavailable, I agree it would be really frustrating. But if you're into gaming enough to boot up your gaming laptop during the commute, you probably have another game that you could pass the time with. It's also probably not the only time you play games, so, trust me, buy Assassin's Creed 2 anyway, because it's one of the best games you'll ever play. That's my take on it.

So, more about the game itself. I'm sure you've heard, they really improved the gameplay in the second game. It has big, open cities like the first one, but this time the story and side missions have a lot more variety. There's just a lot more stuff to do, races, side assassination contracts, factions, etc.

Though at first glance it seems the same, the fighting in this game has a had a major overhaul from the first. You can fight with your hidden blade(s!) use a ton of different weapons, quick-step around enemies, and of course, disarm and dispatch them; the finishing moves always look sweet. If you're willing to not just smash the attack button, they give you everything you need to create interesting and epic battles.

The assassinations themselves are a lot more interesting, Ezio's skills let you come at them from a lot of different ways. From the air, from a hiding place, from below, with a gun, two at a time, it all makes it more fun.

So, it's a FANTASTIC game, with an unusual DRM scheme that you can actually find a lot of good in--if you're that kind of person.
