Suppy doo daa dudes and dudelyz. Nothing is true, everything is permitted. Yeap, that phrase is still being used in Assassin's Creed 2. This time the assassin in the past you'll be playing as Ezio Auditore da Firenze. The game starts off where immediately after the events of the first Assassin's Creed, where Desmond Miles (you) will escape the facility together with the aid of Lucy, your fellow modern assassin, and will go into a new area. There, you will meet new people and the new Animus 2.0 . From then on, you will access the memory of your ancestor, Ezio. From these memories that you access, Desmond will have a bleeding effect. He will take up some abilities from the memories just like the Eagle vision that he gained in AC1. So, the abilities that he will gain from these ancestors will be put to use this time. The game has combat both in present and in the past.


Campaign
The story of Ezio is very much different than that of Altair's. Ezio is still a young adult, still growing in the city of Florence, in Italy during the 15th century. There will be four places you will mainly explore that is Venice, Florence, Monterigioni, and Tuscany. His father and two brothers were killed and thus he dedicated his life to seek vengeance upon those who betrayed his family. Well, he gained the assassin suit from his father's last favour, to open up a secret chest. Then on, he became an assassin. But from what I see in Ezio, is that he isn't mature compared to Altair. Ezio learned to be an assassin by himself and the years in the game extends to that of even more than ten years. Well, as usual the Apple of Eden is still wanted and Templars are back minus the full metal body of theirs. You will find codex pages written by Altair and it pretty much explains your duty as an assassin. Trust me, its alot more than just killing. You will find out that there are two pieces of Eden, one is the Apple of Eden ( the power of making five living copies of yourself) the other is a staff which can make the user invisible. When the two keys are found and put together, a secret left by the gods will be unlocked which is what you are supposed to prevent the templars from obtaining it. Well, the rest is up to you gamers to find out.....


Others
Weapons wise you, will gain more as you play on. There will be two hidden blades, throwing knives, poison blade, smoke bomb, hidden pistol, a dagger of somesort and a melee weapon. The dagger and melee weapon can be changed when you buy more at the blacksmith. Yeap, theres money now and you have a home(villa) also. At your villa, you can upgrade your entire village (since you are the landlord), see collections of weapons, armour, paintings and statuettes that you have collected. To increase your villa value, buy paintings, armour, weapons or even collect feathers, statuettes. The higher the value, the more money you will get as its .....f/20 min. f = the currency in the game. If you collect the seals of the assassins, you will be granted Altairs armour. It looks sick. Plus, if you collect all feathers you will unlock the Auditore cape. Well, its a tribute to your family. Thats all folks, may the force bring peace upon you!!! Plus - I got 1000G/1000G for AC2. Haha....
