Assassins Creed II 2 (Xbox 360)

While I liked the first Assassin's Creed game, it got sort of repetitive and I never managed to finish the last few missions. After I completed this middle game in the trilogy I immediately went back and finished the first game, which helped with my understanding of this game somewhat. The story is action packed, and even the scenes outside the animus are eventful. I wont give everything away but I'd be hard pressed to find anything that was complained about in the first game that wasnt fixed in this game. There are also new features that build on that as well. As in the first game a lot of the characters in the game, both good and bad including the main nemesis are actual historical figures. For those that like secret histories and conspiracy theories (if you enjoyed DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons) this game is a rare gem. People with sensitivity to religious and political themes might want to pass on this game, but the beauty of fiction is you don't need to believe that it did happen to enjoy it. Although this game is a trilogy I hope they offer other titles kind of like the Halo franchise.
