Bartender Desmond Miles is rescued by the same group of people he was part of when he relived sequences of his ancestor Altaïr, and now he has to be trained in a very short space of time by living through the training of a different ancestor by the name of Ezio Auditore da Firenze in the late fifteenth-early sixteenth century.
While basically the same game as its predecessor, there are a few improvements to the freedom offered in movement and actions. The plot is most likely quite liberal in the interpretation of History, having actually skewed it off real history into an alternate universe where a race of human-like beings created humans in their image as mindless slaves but were wiped out by a global catastrophy which they did not survive.
Throughout the game there are Glyphs hidden in fixed locations only visible through the extrasensory perception of an Assassin. Engaging them will open a decryption process and if successful will unlock a brief segment of footage depicting the origin of the Assassins as a group. Decrypting all glyphs will put the footage in sequence and you have a short film of about one minute.
It is part of my favourite game series, and so is greatly recommended.
