Assassins Creed 2 - Sound

The sound in this game is multilayered. You can listen to voices in the foreground and the sounds of the world around you in the background. This can range from the sounds of birds or voices of other conversations.

Again, the guards do not have a wide range of phrases when they spot you. Expect them to be as repetitive as they were in the first game.

The music is about on par with the first game. The voice acting is of good quality, but not phenomenal, as there are some moments when the tone seems a bit too much for the expression that is being displayed on the face of the character on screen.

In the end you should probably only spend your money on this title if you want more of what you had the first time around. If, however, you were looking for a departure or any serious improvements to the game, then you should pass on this title. In fact, if you are just satisfied with the first experience you will not need to play the second game.

There are already trailers for the second one being made into a film, though its release date was "to be determined" at the time of the writing of this piece. That means you can satiate your desire to know about the plot without having to play through the game. The game does give you a fair amount of play time for the money.
