Summary

Two Assassin's Creed games in one box? There's a LOT of assination to be done!

Assassin's Creed

Assassin's Creed's story centres around Altair, an assassin (DUH!) in the 13th Century Middle East who, along with his fellow assassins, is trying to end the Crusades by suppressing both sides. The action is spread across three medieval cities where Altair must climb, jump and ultimately kill his way through missions against the backdrop of a stunningly animated and rendered ancient metropolis.

The cities allow absolute freedom of movement in the mode of GTA, with careful attention given to the tiniest of details to produce some of the most realistic graphics ever seen. The movement and look of each character (and when we say character, we mean "person to appear on screen") has been carefully modelled to emulate real human motion, with the AI prompting them to constantly react to you in a realistic way. As you move through crowds, you have to be careful not to draw attention to yourself, as anything untoward can bring the guards down on you in a heartbeat. That's not to say, however, that this is strictly a stealth game. If you fancy your chances at fighting your way through a posse of bodyguards to your target, you can. Just don't be surprised if a couple of well-placed blows brings you down.

Assassin's Creed II

All is not what it seems in the pristine and fabulous time of Renaissance Italy. Noblemen and families command a great deal of respect, which allows for a world of corruption, greed and murder to take place underneath the social surface.

When Italian nobleman Ezio Auditore ad Firenze's family gets betrayed he aims to seek vengeance against the corrupt class that once suited him. With nowhere to turn to satiate his anger, Ezio turns to the ways of the assassin to teach his foes a lesson.

It is through new hero Ezio you experience Assassin's Creed II, with improved gameplay features over the original 2007 hit that aims to surprise and challenge your skill. Missions can now be accessed whenever you like and you can approach them in whichever way you please, with an open world that promotes free-running and human acrobatics to evade capture.

With new locations you get new methods of blending in with the crowd, and new weapons to take advantage of. In Assassin's Creed II, every character is an opportunity for the player, and working with NPCs may reveal something surprising, depending on exactly what their true nature is. Help Ezio learn to become a true master assassin, know how best to disarm and assassinate enemies and once again be the most nimble stealth killer with the aid of your hidden blades.
