Ezio embarks on climbing a building and quickly finds himself on the roof. A pigeon is not far away, and the bird carries the details of a new mission optional. This time, it will issue to go murder a person who walks around town with his bodyguard. The contract stipulates, however qu'Ezio should never be found. A few minutes later, the young man finally manages to find its target and approaching stealthily in mingling with people. It can then only a little help from poisoned blade in the back of the bodyguard to do two things at once. Indeed, the guard, bewildered, maddened by the poison enters his veins began to stir the air with his giant halberd. This unfortunately will end his journey in the bowels of the man she was originally supposed to protect.

This is the kind of sequences that we reserve Assassin's Creed II. The game also seems much more varied than its predecessor and the rest of the presentation has enabled us to observe directly. We think of the many options available Ezio to achieve his ends. According to the case, or may just jump off a building on his target, like a hawk on its prey, seek the services of mercenaries who used to get rid of several guards, swinging or money on the ground history to generate a nice little crowd and diversion. The missions themselves appear more vibrant and diverse as in the first round. Remember also that the game will include a gaggle of hidden areas, tombs and other underground, which will be explored thoroughly in the style of Tomb Raider. Small puzzles will actually be the game, although one suspects that there is probably nothing insurmountable. Also note that if you get after one of these areas, you'll be rewarded with a treasure.

In short, the team at Ubisoft seems to have really taken into account feedback from players and will give us a real adventure, deep and generous, in a universe as consistent as sumptuous. Difficult in these conditions not be consumed by impatience
