Everything the First Game Should Have Been
I don't think I need to go into the problems the first Assassin's Creed had. Just know that the second game in the franchise addresses nearly all of them. There's so much to do in this virtual realization of Renaissance Italy and just about all of it is fun. My personal highlight was the Assassin Tombs, which feel like like they were ripped straight out of the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Trilogy. Upgrading your personal Villa is very addictive, and anyone who is into conspiracy theories will love the story. Not to mention there is a pretty crazy final boss that you'll want to tell your friends about. My only real problems with the game are that climbing doesn't work to well it you're not facing straight towards the object you're trying to climb, collecting feathers feels a little too much like collecting flags, and the game never warns you when you're about to be booted out of the animus. But regardless of those things, anyone who likes the idea of stabbing dudes in the neck with a hidden blade should play this game.
