Product Description

Everyone loves the Italian Renaissance, with nasty kings and popes double-crossing each other, gold and jewels galore, palazzos with incredible towers, courtesans with incredible balconies, assorted plagues and catastrophes... and of course, you, the deadly (but noble!) assassin. In Assassin's Creed II you become the proud young Ezio Auditore da Firenze as he discovers the family secret and learns the bloody family trade.  Using sneaky weapons (some built by Leonardo da Vinci himself!), Ezio sneaks, stabs and slashes his way through incredible set-pieces in Venice, Florence and Tuscany, including real-life settings like the Grand Canal and Ponte Vecchio. There's also a very cool "notoriety system," which makes Ezio more or less recognizable depending on the situation, activity, and who he happens to be mangling at the moment.  Eventually Ezio goes up against the Knights Templar and the all-powerful Borgia family -- who may get what's coming to them in a way they never quite did in real life. But only if you make it so.
