Assassins Bleed Too

Assassin's Creed II
Thank Minerva. They fixed almost everything I hated about the first game.

There are fewer collectibles. You can buy treasure maps to locate all the treasures in the game. The feathers only appear in cities so you can keep track of how many you need to collect by how much of the city you have opened up.

The quick time events weren't required for an achievement. I missed more in this game than in the previous one.

There were a lot more things to do besides collecting. You have to help rebuild your city, fill your villa with art, translate codex pages, and find seals in hidden tombs. And most of the side quests are assassinations.

The only thing they didn't fix is the fact that this game randomly guesses which way I'm trying to jump. I don't know if it's my controller or if I'm physically handicapped but I can't count the number of times I jumped off a high building straight to the ground and the died. Or when I was trying to complete a timed obstacle and jumped into the water.

Assassination are much better. You can do them in many more situations.

The are a lot more weapons. The poison blade is my favorite new weapon. I just wish that you could actually own the axe and halberd instead of just stealing them from enemies and then loosing them.

All in all I would say that this game is an improvement in every way with no added problems.

1000/1000g this time. Requiescat in Pace.
