I was clicking on some web pages and found out that OPM (Official Playstation Magazine) Belgium already played out the game and that they are going to put their review on line soon. So I was searching trough some pages here on the forum (searching for a topic like this) but didn't found one. So I decided to make a topic where we put all the reviews that we've found on the internet together Wink So if you have found one, please post it and I'll add it to our list.
Links to reviews:

- Gamerzines Magazine Review (English) - It has a review of AC2, you can download it with this link!
- Lucidlan Review (English)
- IGN Review (English)
- GiantBomb Review (English)
- Gametrailers Review (English)
- XGN Review (Dutch)
- Gamespot Review (English)
- Metacritic Reviewcollection

Links to Reviews of AC Bloodlines:

-Select Start Games Review (English)

Because some magazines have "copyrights" and don't post their reviews online I'll put here a list of the magazine-scores that they have given:

- Official Xbox Magazine: 9/10 -
quote:
"We can think of plenty of words to describe Assassin's Creed 2; Involving, Exciting, Cinematic. But there's one word that sums it up beautifully. KILLER"


quote:
A Sequel where everything is improved

- Official Playstation Magazine: 9/10 -
quote:
The game is Brilliant and the world is rich and complicated. Cancel your plans for Christmas Holiday, we’re spending ours in Italy.


- Playstation The Official Magazine: 5/5 -
quote:
no tag-line yet.


- Gamerzines Magazine: 92/100 -
quote:
Expertly executed, Assassin's Creed II's a must-have!


- PSM3 Magazine: 94/100 -
quote:
Renaissance spawns modern masterpiece


- Belgian Official Playstation Magazine: no score yet -
quote:
Dutch: Assassin's Creed 2 is op alle vlakken nog beter dan zijn voorganger!
English: Assassin's Creed 2 is on all areas much better then its predecessor!


- Lucidlan: 9.5/10 -
quote:
Ubisoft managed to deploy a true masterpiece. Magnifico!


- IGN: 9.2/10 -
quote:
Assassin's Creed II transforms a middling action game into an intriguing and consistently entertaining open-world adventure.


- Gametrailers: 9.2/10 -
quote:
One Creed worth taking


- Gamespot: 9/10 -
quote:
Assassin's Creed II is what you'd want an action sequel to be: bigger, better, and more beautiful.


So if you have a score of a magazine, please share it. Mention clearly which magazine, the score that they have given and maybe the tag-line they wrote about AC2 (tag-line is like "The Italian Renaissance at its best" or something Wink ).

Previews from gamessites:
- IGN preview
quote:
Assassin's Creed II is a lot more than anyone expected.

- Insidegamer Preview (Dutch - Translated to English)

- Edge Preview (English)
- Nowgamer Preview (English)
quote:
A month to go and the build is more polished than we could’ve possibly hoped. This is going to be very, very good.

quote:
It's pure fan service, as are most of the promising changes we've seen in the game so far.

- TVG Preview (English)
quote:
Few single-player games offer 27 hours of gameplay as a ballpark figure and with its setting, story and free-running looking first class, the stage is set for AC II to be a great game.

Reviews already?

I guess so. The game is less than a month away. Meaning that it's gold or just about to become gold and production is happening. This means that reviewers can get a hold of an advanced copy and review the game in time for the release date so people can then see their good reviews and then buy the superuberawesomeness of a game.

I was reading the the Official Playstation magazine (UK), and they said that they'll put their review in next months magazine. If you want the exact words, they said "There are tons of reasons why Ezio rocks, but you'll have to wait for next month's world exclusive review." This was on page 65 in the UK version issue number 037 (November). The next magazine is on sale from 27th October (at least this is the date for the UK). Hope this helps.

Really? That sounds awesome! I would buy the magazine but apart from that review, the rest will be irrelevant unless any articles are on games that are also on PS3. I'll just wait for the OPM to release their mag if OXM don't post online on Thursday. Can't wait!!!

Yes he said that you can pop out eyes with your hidden blades Wink btw it's Belgian** Next too that it has nothing to do with this topic. It more belongs to other topics than this one (to mention it) .

Everybody quiet down and no more stupid threads (even though I have created some too!)
RealJambo that work?
Edit: So when does the official barrage of AC2 Reviews, gameplay vids and stuff like that start I'm thinking next week but not sure it could be great if Atmon or RealJambo could clear it up
