Amazing sequel to the almost-a-prince-of-persia-game first one. Better scored because you can actually enjoy playing it nowadays, even though the tutorial of the game is stupidly long and hand holdy (but you can argue it's because most of the systems were really new at the time). The parkour play is at it's absolute best in this one, having to control the extremities of Ezio to jump around instead of pushing a button for up and another for down. The combat is pretty PRETTY bad, tough, but it gets..."cute" as you play. Just parry your way to the vatican with increasingly cooler looking swords, honestly.
The story is not really much out of the ordinary, but it's told really well and has some genuinely interesting characters, Ezio being a pretty good example that will be tried to remake in the following games with disastrous results.
Overall, one of the best in the series with lots of really good moments that sadly aren't studied by the team in future games. I'm currently planning of making a review of each AC games, 1 a day, and whoooo boy...the latter ones really makes the franchise as a whole feel more cheap.
