Assassin's Creed 2 gets 9/10 in OXM

Thursday 22-Oct-2009 6:14 PM World's first review goes on sale today

2 Comments

The new issue of OXM went on sale today with the world's first ever review of Assassin's Creed 2 - which we liked so much we slapped a 9/10 score on it.

OXM's Mike Channell was the first non-Ubisoft person in the world to complete the game, the company tells us, and he was impressed. It addresses nearly all the gripes we had with the original game, including all that artificial flag-collecting nonsense, and delivers a brilliant single-player experience that's built around a cracking story.

We can't say any more 'cos it's all embargoed, so pick up the new issue for all the juicy details. it's in stores now, or you can buy a single issue online.

Why are so many good games coming out when I have no money?! I actually enjoyed the first one so I'll have to get this at some point.

Pretty excited for this. I'm going to get it no matter what reviews say, but it's nice to see that reviewers (or atleast one) is appreciating it.
