Assassin's Creed 2 Description:
Get ready to plunge into the lush and deadly world of the Italian Renaissance, an era of arts, riches and murderous conspiracy. Assassin's Creed II introduces you to Ezio, a new assassin carrying on the deadly lineage of his forebears. Confront an epic tale of power and corruption as you hone your assassin's art, wielding weapons and instruments designed by the legendary Leonardo da Vinci himself in this gripping and deadly sequel.

The frame narrative is set in the 21st century and follows Desmond Miles as he relives the genetic memories of his ancestor Ezio Auditore da Firenze. The main narrative takes place at the height of the Renaissance in Italy during the 15th and early 16th century. The player can explore Florence, Venice, Tuscany and Forlì as they guide Ezio on a quest for vengeance against those responsible for betraying his family. The primary focus is to utilize the player's combat and stealth abilities, as Desmond begins to uncover the mysteries left behind by an ancient race known as the First Civilization in the hope of ending the conflict between the Assassins and Knights Templar.

This game influenced me to learn to horseback ride. Now I own a horse and ride just about every day. It's fun.

[YamiYunoko]

I love when Ezio shouts "Andiamo!" to make his horse run faster.
And of course...

Madness...? THIS IS EZIOOO!

[JaneGilgun]

Yes, Tuscany is that beautiful. Those tall pointed trees are cypress. Did you notice that the rider was a coward and a psychopath?

@VindictiveShadowWolf The developers did do a good job, the sky is really that kind of clear misty color, but it's beatiful. Occasionally you can see a full moon, and if you do make sure you lay down on the grass, smoke a cigar, and drink wine. Near San Gimignano not a lot of stars, but farther out yes. Going there for a summer doesn't cover it, you have to live there to truly appreciate it.

[TheSonyVaio]

@VindictiveShadowWolf If you love this landscape then I promise you you will enjoy Red Dead Redemption, horse riding looks real and landscapes are just... unbelievable

[tonertonki]

If you think that the horse riding from AC is good, you should see Agro in the SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS. now thats a realistic animated horse!

[JaneGilgun]

What is the point of being on a huge horse with a sword and killing unarmed people? I don't get it. Whatever happened to fairness?

[mrjoni]

i hate the invible shields that appears sometimes.

@VindictiveShadowWolf red dead redemption and this are the most beautiful games i ever played

[Sandrasartlife]

It´s a beatiful place but one thing is borring is that the Horses is the same as in the First Assassins Creed and I think that´s a little borring, )

[hiddeninformer]

[brainkillerxD]
