Very quickly, Assassin’s Creed 2 has become one of my most anticipated games of the year. From a place of not being too bothered about it, somehow it grabbed my attention and got me excited.

Question is; is it any good?

Well, Gamespot has just reviewed it and the answer seems to be a resounding yes.

It scored a healthy 9.0.

Here’s their closing thoughts…

At first, Assassin’s Creed II might seem as if it has added more than its foundation was meant to handle, but once all the new features are completely introduced, it develops that magic that so few games can cast. This is the rare sequel that offers fans of the original the basics they would expect, while adding and changing so many other aspects that even those who didn’t appreciate the first should take the plunge, without hesitation. A few more contrivances notwithstanding, Assassin’s Creed II is a better game than its forebear and is a beautiful and memorable experience on its own terms. But it’s more than just a game–it’s an escape to a place and a time that feel so welcoming, you’ll be making return trips even after your initial adventure is over.
