I went out in the snow in 2009 to get the last copy of this. I was super excited after its reveal at E3. After the lacklustre first game, I was stoked that this one actually worked.
I love Ezio. For once, we had a protagonist who actually had a personality. In this instalment, Ezio is juvenile and hot-headed, and it details his journey into responsibility and a purpose that is the creed.
The gameplay is better, more brutal, and slicker for its time; the navigation around the respected cities is refined; and the assassinations are much more enjoyable this time around.

I absolutely loved the soundtrack and how well it complemented the historical setting. Desmond becomes more interesting here, but not by a huge margin. In my opinion, the best AC has yet to be surpassed.
