Assassin's Creed II (computer game)

Customer Review

All praise the game in the skies and only complain about the copy, I can the optimism about the game itself but not parts.

First of all: The copy protection is an outrage. Although I must admit that I previously had no problems with it (neither in this game that I have been given and never purchased because of the copy protection even in Splinter Cell: I just do not sufficiently informed me of the same copy protection Conviction, I bought had ...), but it's the thought that counts. However, even without copy I had the game where not much more than 3 stars.

Why? Now Ubisoft makes no half measures, what is good is really good and what is bad is really bad.
Ultimately, there is more good than bad to say about the game.
Normally I prefer "Neutral" protagonists in games before, especially in action games. So you can ignore the story of hardship and with a little imagination imagine himself a "background". Ultimately, corresponded to the first part of the.
If one uses detailed backgrounds, they must be really good. And that's very, very rare, so far the GTA4 and The Witcher could convince me, but in fact it creates AC2 as keep up.
The story, playing confident in a beautiful unspoiled setting completely, perhaps the authors should love screenplays for Hollywood review, because I have not seen a movie since keeping up could. (Of course, I am referring here to the "Enzion" action during the Renaissance, the / wasauchimmer can "Desmond" plot in the present / future me as cold as in the first part, fortunately, is here but not quite as omnipresent, unfortunately, you always "pointed" through interface and loading on this setting)

The graphics are great, for my admittedly non-critical within the range eye there is nothing to complain about.
The level design, the atmosphere, everything that is true and justifying easily 5 star, and all that but then encouraged to continue playing an ever again.

If not for these little negative things would be called "control" and "Camera".
Because these two things are so beautiful ****, I hardly think it's worse. In the first part, these problems were already there, one would think that it would be done better in the 2nd. Will not it though.
In a game that is as much based on platforming elements a sensible, intuitive control simply indispensable.
The control is always inaccurate when they should be exact and then exactly when you need them inaccurate.
In addition, many different functions on the same key. Thus, for example "Sprint" and "acrobatics" On the spacebar. If one wants to rennend fleeing guards it is quite disturbing when Enzio constantly climbing up any walls rather than simply running. Or crumbled in any hiding from the eyes of the guards. Unfortunately, he never creates when the guards are not looking, and he should do. Also, it always comes back before he repels when climbing up on the wall easily and jumps in the exact opposite direction, it is already very high has quickly result in death, worse but is anyway that you again have to front climbing.

Also very clever it is that the adherence-button and letting go of the button and the same are. Later you learn to jump (spacebar) and then hold with said knob to complicated to deal with climbing sequences. Then Pressing this key in the wrong place you fall all the way down.

In some places the camera is suddenly silent and I wonder: Who thought that was a good idea? The problem ist.- .. you control .. now I control 3rd person games by the nunmal I set the camera to go where the figure is to run / jump and then "W" press. When the camera but now rests no longer does that. Mostly the places where you should do just complicated jumps, and now you need to determine not only exclusively with WASD where you jump, you can see the target usually not even correct.

Also in the fight, the control is a disaster. One can, in some cases MUST opponent sighting. The first problem is that you often do not know whether someone is targeted or not (if not you can not block), the second problem is: It does not matter who is sighted, Enzio attacks eh someone else to. Often I get suddenly the message I must not attack civilians because Enzio fighting just anybody skin middle.
In most situations, this is ultimately not really matter if you have multiple opponents you have always somehow defeat all there is the order right Wurscht, but if we are to protect someone wants one but the enemy attack to those attacking. Since it is hard to die in battle (of the 15 medicinal bottles you can take I've never consumed more than 4) you prefer 20 opponents against themselves and only one on the other. Until you it but managed to attack specific enemies ... now it's hard.

Almost funny it is when one wants to poison a target person in a group: It is aiming at him, stands behind him, pushing and assault .... Enzio poisoned any arbitrary whom others.

I could go on in about 100 additional points on which the control is only grottig proves easy, these are only examples. Unfortunately, this attracts ... otherwise really good to play very deep in the basement, as I said: Especially with such a game control is essential, and so AC often brings more frustration than fun. Here are the game mechanics itself well druchdacht if then when it works out also makes it fun. I think not even that it would have been a lot of effort to set the record straight.

I can not say ultimately not buy. But expecting a lot of frustration.
