Beating all odds and expectations the game sold 1.6 million copies in the first week of release. Ubisoft said that the PS3 and Xbox game sales were 30% better than the Assasin’s creed original title that was released in 2007. The overall graphical artistry, use of historical data, character background and better game engagement quality are some of the reasons behind the success of this game.

The story moves around ‘Animus’, which is a machine that allows the players to see genetic memories of Desmond Miles, the chief protagonist. Thus as player you’d be taken through the history of Desmond’s ancestors, along line of assassins.

A major success-point of the game is its ability to use real-life historical events and characters within the game’s storyline. Animus will enlighten the journey of a nobleman-turned-assassin Ezio Auditore Da Firenze, who belongs to 15^th-16^th century Italy. The story moves through the renaissance period and encounters many known characters including Machiavelli.

With a price tag of only $60 and record sales this is a must-have game for your PS3.
