My Favorite Game but not Perfect

I played Assassin's Creed 1 to practically completion, except for all the flags. Assassin's Creed II is a great sequel to the Assassin's Creed story. It takes all the aspects of AC1 and improve them. The aspect that I enjoy the most has to be the ability to buy weapons and armor; it adds a collector feel to the game and excites one to try out their new "toy." The city upgrading is an awesome aspect too. I personally put all of my money into the city until it was fully upgraded and the income from the city is really paying off. The combat has gotten better as well with the different weapon types, more weapons, counters, and disarms. I enjoy that there is more of a story to the game with side quests that actually lead to rewards. An aspect which I don't like is that sometimes the camera angles and lead to jumps in the wrong direction, making it difficult to complete some quests. All and all the game is great and now on the top of my list for favorite games (beating out the previous leader AC1).
