March 9, 2010 - Mediocre - It's brilliant. Don't buy it. The copy protection of Assassin's Creed II requires you to be connected to publisher Ubisoft's servers every moment you play. Any interruption to that connection kicks you out and erases all the progress you've made since the last checkpoint. We cannot wholly recommend a game that imposes such stringent and potentially problematic restrictions on paying customers without good reason.
