Tonight I finally received my copy of "Assassin's Creed II". Is that not a good starting point for a fresh DevaintJournal? Well, you have to write something in journal, don't you? And there's much to write about in ACII.
Because it's simply masterpiece. It's rich and detailed, it's truly beautiful and dynamic, it features great directing and even greater voice-acting. I found out that Ezio is much more interesting person than I originally thought of him. Still, in my opinion, he is still too impudent and brutal. Altair was far more content and calm, that's why I always loved him as a character.
But hey, what can you expect from a 17-year-old italian nobleman of Renaissance? Everyone was impudent and brutal back there, just as they were daring and witty. Oh, yes, they ARE witty, I might add. I played for merely two hours and yet I've already heard several brilliant jokes. Starting with "Hi, Desmond. Go away" and straght to the famous "outlet speech". ACII is filled with a certain so-called "spirit of youth", it truly conveys all the will to live the life of Renaissance, the life of adventure.
I can't recall any game of the past to feel like this. Especially, not the game with a protagonist of my age.
Well, I'm sure there's much more secrets and feelings to embrace. And so I come into the abyss... to never return?)

P.S. I really want to go to Italy now. I Really-really want to.
