Cash is a new addition to Assassin’s Creed 2 and plays a heavy role in how you play the game. You acquire Florins by pickpocketing people, finding hidden treasure, or simply completing quests. These can then be used to buy new weapons, items, armor, or health vials. Other items can be purchased as a simple makeover to Ezio’s clothing by purchasing new colors for his armor or buying paintings for your villa. The Villa is a small area that is basically your safe haven you can go to whenever you want via fast travel to check on your progress in the game. Investing money in various businesses in y...
The storyline is intricate, there's depth beyond the main quest, and the action is incredible at times. We've had some stunning games this year, and Ubisoft has given us another to add to the list.

A conglomeration of small advancements that deliver on Ubisoft’s initial AC vision.
Assassin's Creed II is one of the few games this year that absolutely blew me away. The gameplay and story worked perfectly in keeping me engrossed in the world and it's characters. While the beginning was a bit slow once the game picked up it never stopped going. Assassin's Creed II is an absolute must buy and is probably one of the best games released this year.
Attention! This is a public service announcement. Before reading this review, discard everything that tainted your thoughts previously regarding the Assassin’s Creed franchise, because this is Assassin’s Creed, but not as you know it... this is Assassin’s Creed 2.0. Hey! It was my turn to do that! Everyone else is putting that “point zero” crap on the end of things these days, I just wanted to try it, and unfortunately, it’s not as overpowering or amusing as you’d quite expect. ...
