Assassin's Creed 2 (Full Official Soundtrack) - Jesper kyd 

We miss you, Ezio

7:17 "that's a good life we lead" "may it never change" "and may it never change us" Welcome To Assassin's Creed II

Man... this brings back so many memories. The hope this game gave me in the small and dull world that I lived in. It helped me see more from my bedroom window. My snow-covered neighborhood. On the small hill that overlooked the town. I'd blot out the sounds of my parents yelling at each other, the sad memories that had transpired during my days in highschool, or from the countless amount of times that we had moved from city to city... losing friends... from my drunk father, the shameful embarrassment that was my life. That was around the time they got divorced and me and my brother didn't know how to deal with it. I was 16. In school, I got picked on alot for my last name, and the fact that my teeth weren't that great (just crooked was all. It's fixed now and I'm much more confident) and it made my life bad. Made me self-conscious... so I just stopped talking to people. I sat at tables alone alot, haha. I was always alone... at lunch or in study hall. Even felt alone in classrooms because no one would talk to me. Very few people didn't know me because I was kinda quiet... I couldn't wait to get back home though to play this game, and talk about it with the few friends I had. I would draw alot, and if I could play music I would while doing it. I'd get lost in creating art and imagine being on an adventure. That's what I cared about. Being on the adventure... This music was what drove my imagination. It's what helped me get through those dark days. I'm almost 25 now, and I'm glad that part of my life is over. I still think about those things... and I'm glad me, and the people I care about got through them. I don't really see my parents too often, or my old friends... but my imaginations still there. It hasn't aged a day. But even though it's all in the past now... the strongest emotions come from simple things like this soundtrack. Brings a tear to my eye, and fills my heart with nostalgia. Ha, gotta' love the classics.

"It is a good life we lead, brother." "The best. May it never change." "And may it never change us." Too bad that life has changed Ubisoft, and we will never see such an amazing and detailed games as before :( AC 2 and Brotherhood still remain one of the best games in game industry and I will never forget this experience from completing them both.

STOP SCROLLING AND START STUDYING AGAIN

I was playing this game when I was about 15 or 16, my mom used to watch me sometimes because she was interrested in what I was doing when i spent all those ours behind my laptop playing. She knew the story so when I was at the endgame, won the bossfight and then the credits rolled. I put my controller down(played with a xbox 360 controller)and me and my mother both went. Wow, what story and we were just letting it sink in. I keep remembering that this game made us feel the same compassion for a character even though she is not a big fan of video games. Everytime when I am visiting my parents over the weekend and i play this on my laptop while I am reading something my mom always asks, wait isn't this from that game with the ezio guy? I wish the more recent AC games we as memorable as this. to make you thing back to a character just by hearing a few music notes.

After reading a looooooot of comments I want to say : brothers from around the world, we are experiencing the same sadness listening to this and also we can close our eyes and remember the first time we played Ezio, when we discovered Venice or Firenze... each step, jump, murder. We will never live something like this but I am gratefull to listen to this now and not being alone to remember. Now i am 36 but this game and this world were the best ever. And I screamed to my tv when I saw Adam and Eve in Kilimandjaro it was so brilliants. Ezio, we miss you, requiscat in pace

7:56 The moment when you have to just shut up and listen i get goosebumps every damn time

Legendary game Legendary music Legendary character ...... just perfect

The thing about AC 2 is that it was fresh, it was interesting and new. A massive conspiracy/betrayal against the Auditore family, watching your family die and then taking revenge Templar by Templar. The Adam/Eve conspiracy, The assassin tombs, the almost unlimited array of gadgets and a stellar finale. Not only that but this guy spanned 3 games for hells sake, The Ezio trilogy always has been and will be great.

13:07 is one of the best gaming soundtracks i’ve ever heard, the nostalgia 💔

The old AC:s had this very mysterious "foggy" vibe throughout the games that just completely vanished after AC3. Especially AC2 and Brotherhood. I can't explain what it is but that's what I love most about AC games.

Listen to this while study math... i feel like i'm leonardo's aprentice haha

Ezio's Family (7:17) is and will always be the best.

AC2 will always be one of my favs. No other assassin's creed character can top Ezio, he made me feel part of the Auditore family.

It’s 2020, & this is still one of the greatest games of all time !

I think, as a future history of art teacher, that I will play this game in front of my class for my course of the architecture of the Renaissance. "So here you have a beautiful example of italian regula... Shit! Guards ! I must hide..."

Best Game, Best Soundtrack.

ezio's soundtrack is good even 11 years later

I first played this game in 2011, in the summer before Sophomore year in high school. One of my best friends recommended I try out Assassin's Creed while we were in Summer school together. He'd come home with me after class and play AC with me. I stormed through AC1, loved the game, loved the story, and I loved being Altair. The atmosphere and detail in AC1 was something I had never experienced in a video game before. People shopping and haggling with vendors, the dust kicking up from the ground as you walk, beggars approaching you when you walk through poorer districts, entire mobs of people entering a city carrying baskets of goods and complaining about the heat, town heralds announcing the status of an actual war that took place during that time, the remains of a battle with dead bodies being picked at by vultures outside of a Templar checkpoint, etc. The game was absolutely magical, I felt like I was there. I beat it in like 2 weeks. There was no way a sequel could top this. Then I played Assassin's Creed 2. And to this day, it is still one of my favorite games of all time. For a while, I was between AC2 and AC4/Black Flag being my favorite AC. But now, returning to experience it again the last few days because of the quarantine, I realize my favorite, and quite possibly the best AC game in my opinion, will always be Assassin's Creed 2. It's more than just a game where you play a badass assassin, it's more than a nice looking game with a big open world to explore, it's honestly more than just a video game. This is the game (besides the Metal Gear Solid series) that convinced me videogames are one of the greatest mediums for storytelling. While the game is somewhat outdated in terms of technology, AC2 is eons above and beyond any AC in recent years. Especially Origins and Odyssey in my opinion. AC used to be games centered on a character, following them throughout events in their life that changed the course of history, when there was (I'll say it again) a STORY to tell. It was coherent, it was structured, it was overarching, but even more importantly, it had emotional depth. It wasn't about some guy wearing cool robes that was un-killable, or going around doing mindless chores for everybody, or killing whoever he felt like, or even exploring an extremely vast but empty open world. When a *game* causes you to feel something for a fictional character and world, then it has done its part in successfully conveying a tale to remember. If my own mother who hasn't seen me play this game in years remembers who Ezio is, then there is something right with your game. There are so many things I want to continue talking about, but for now I'll just say this. If you want to experience memorable, rich, and deep storytelling at its finest, play this game. While every game has its faults and shortcomings (depending on what reviewer or critique you prefer), I implore you come up with them yourself.

Some of these songs make me feel like I'm walking through the streets of Venice once again. One day I'm gonna go there again and whilst I'm walking along the canals at night, I'll have these songs playing, and I'll give Ezio a big old salute and smile :)

Skips to 7:17 *Starts crying*

This is the best assassins creed soundtrack by far, the vibe is unmatched.

Requiescat in pace, Assassin's Creed series. You will be missed.

13:08 i can't be the only one who visited florence in the game just to hear this song?

Jesper Kyd is a musical god.

"The Auditore are not dead! I'm still here! Me! Ezio! Ezio Auditore!" Edit- wow I have never got this many likes thank you guys so much

watched my older brother play when i was 7 years old for the first time back in 2009-10. shit encapsulated me. i was too young too fully understand the story but there was just something about ezio and the game in general that just drew me to it. the memorable characters, the combat, the missions. ezio just look so badass to me. after that i watched my brother play brotherhood the following year, even tho i wasn’t the one playing it felt like i was. i was so excited to see what the story had in store. once again, brotherhood had me mesmerized. ezio continued to amaze me and the overall game didn’t fail to put me in awe. then revelations came the next year. watched my brother play once again. what a fucking game. i damn near cried at the end of the game. mind you, i was still young to fully understand the story but I didn’t give a fuck. the ezio trilogy amazed me so much. fast forward four years, 2016, im 13 now. i finally decide to play the series on my own. amazing. all i have to say. to this day the ezio trilogy are the best games i have ever played. now that i was older i actually understand now only the plot, but ezio as a character. he didn’t just look like a badass to me. he was someone forced into something that ended up being greater than he was, greater than vengeance for his family. his character development was extraordinarily done. he was no longer some 17 year old italian noble, who hoes around causing trouble. he was a matured grand assassin, who now understood the many aspects of his life he failed to fully understand “i had love, but i did not feel it. i had time, but i did not know it”. ezio felt like a real person who suffered so much for understanding. for understanding his role in all of this. i would be lying to you if i said I didn’t tear up at the end of revelations now understanding his story much more. fast forward another four years, 2020, im 17 now (same age my older brother was when he first played ac2 ironically) and bc of the quarantine i figured I’d play the ezio trilogy again bc why not. this game. never ceases to amaze. i feel like im playing it for the first time again. & this game has been with me for a lil over 10 years. the ezio trilogy is one of the greatest pieces of video game storytelling and it’s sad Ubisoft probably will never create an ac game close to the ezio trilogy. im done rambling. the ezio trilogy holds a special in my heart. requiescant in pace, ezio auditore da firenze🖤

The voice of the girl in Ezio's Family is SO FUCKING SOOTHING!

Everytime when i clean the kitchen i open this video and everything's just so intense and i feel like i actually accomplished something in my life

Back when I graduated from high school, had friends, lover, family... Wonderful days belong to the past

Как же круто возвращаться и переслушивать все эти треки погружаясь в детство...

I want Assassins Creed II remastered for my PS4

I used to live in Italy so at one point my parents bought a painting of Florence. I had no clue what the painting was about but it's been hanging in my living room for a long time. One day I walk by it and something catches my eye. I realize that one of the buildings looks like the one from the game. (I know it the game was based on Florence) but I realized how much detail was put into the making of the game because the painting made me remember running around the city as Ezio. The painting was of Florence from a distance so when I saw the building with the dome and the gigantic tower next to it I was so amazed.

Venice Rooftops ( 3:59 ) Man I was looking for this for more than 10 years now

These songs are masterpieces

Earth, Venice rooftops, Ezio's family - 3rd place Dreams of venice, night mission in venice, Tour of venice - 2nd place SANCTUARY! - 1st place Oh jesus... best Assassins creed game ever created with best soundtrack, best figures and memorable characters, best story, best place in history (renaissance), with best country with best cities. In other words... FUCKING MASTERPIECE! The nostalgic soundtrack itself is as good as skyrim.

I miss the "Resquiescat in pace". Nowadays in the assassins creed there isn't any of this anymore. Ezio had respect for his enemies, like Connor. And that is also how a true Assassins is!

Leonardos invention 2 is just magical brings a wave of nostalgia over me till this day

When you expect a great game and you get a masterpiece of a lifetime instead.

Assassin's Creed soundtracks were literally the reason I passed my exams during my degree and masters. Finally graduated. In Mechanical Engineering if you're curious. I am a self proclaimed Disciple of Leonardo Da Vinci and the self proclaimed biological son of Ezio Auditore Da Firenze. Thank you Assassin's Creed for allowing me to get in touch with my heritage.

I've never given up on Assassin's Creed, even with all its faults. That being said, this is the AC I loved. The days of Ezio and Leonardo, of Bartholomeo and Uncle Mario, of Claudia and Maria... and, most of all, of Desmond. God, I miss those days.

When assassin creed was an awesome kickass franchise. We miss you, real assassins

Out of all the music in the game, the Venice themes are easily my favorite parts of the soundtrack.

I love the Ezio trilogy. it really takes me back. I used to think assassins Creed was soooo freaking awesome and I always wished it actually happened and that I could have been there for it and in the thick of it all too.

why was assassin's creed II the best game ever made? Story! characters and plot were great. absolute enjoyment to hunt down the killers of ezio's father and brother. Soundtrack! really... if this soundtrack doesn't make your heart warmup and shiver,then you must be dead. Graphics! never were realistic, and never shouldnt be! the game looked great without cruel toned down colors. Gameplay! absolute enjoyment to play without useless functions and endless amounts tools, with crisp movement. Tombs! wtf where are my tombs ubisoft? i think i could go on and on but what's the point ubisoft will never do anything like this ever again. my only hope is that some other company with a heart, will create something as good as this game once was.

Still playing this beautiful game

Dang things changed so fast for this franchise, as in my life. Still miss Ezio to this day. Just like when Ezio's family was murdered in front of the palazzo Della Signoria, and him and his mom/sister never went back to their home, so many permanent changes in people's lives happened since this game. Many injustices, lost loves like Cristina, and family members we will never see again in this life. RIP assassins creed franchise. I will remember you for what you used to be. And what you used to mean to me.

THIS is one of my favorite ways to relieve the anxieties that anchor me down throughout the day.

Remember when we all got super excited when a new AC game came out? Remember when the hype was justified? Now I just dread what's to come of this once beautiful series. I know everyone seems excited about Syndicate, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Remember when assassin's had a creed

Jesper Kyd is a true legend!

it's so sad .. this game is so perfect, it has a real history that you live with it, you feel with it.. best game ever!! i just wanna cry and replay this for ever

anyone listening to it while studying?

Ahhhh the good old days of video games

This game is like an art

Wow, coming to this video after playing assassins creed from the very beginning and watching it turn to shit is honestly so sad, some of these songs genuinely bring a tear to my eye as they were literally a massive part of my childhood, I think I'll stay here for a while and reminisce :')

Who listens to this and goes down to the comment and tries to find the long comments to read and that has a meaning

S*kips to* 3:59 *dances his Ass off* 7:17 comes *sitting Down and reflects his Life*

Oh, nostalgia smells, already cried.Assassin Creed will remain forever in my memories in the best color!

This is the best soundtrack in the history of video games.

"Nothing is true, everything is permitted".

I'm AC fan since when i was 10 or 11 y.o., so i grew up with this game, i have all of AC games, but Ezio'll stay in my heart forever in first place.

This soundtrack is everything. Ac2 is everything. Best game ever, of all times.

The nostalgia. Sitting day in, day out playing this. Getting to know the characters, fighting with them, love with them, getting inspired and see life from their perspective. Ahhh right in the feels! I wish I could go back to times like that! Thank you Ezio for making my childhood better! :')

13:05 I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS ONE !!!

I’m closing my eyes and i’m in Florence....pure magic....

hit the view point at (44:14)

Ezio's Family. It's a masterpiece... 7:17 It's also the credits song

13:05 is amazing and nobody is talking about it

I always come back this soundtrack. It is so hauntingly beautiful.

One of the best gaming experiences. A game that stands out of even its franchise, it shall not be forgotten

one of my all time favourite games, but i only realised when i replayed it from the beginning this year how easy it is. i was literally never killed in combat, by anyone. I only died from fall damage

Still easily one of the best and most memorable characters in games to this day! Not many games give me feels and nostalgia like this one does... good times!

No matter what happens to the franchise, Ezio will always be the memory I cherish the most. That and sea shanties.

There won't be ANY AC game like this one. There will be a hundred other for sure, but there's only one AC2, and it's simply the best. This soundtrack reminds me when I first played this game, and I was so amazed. Sadly Ubisoft made CoD from the series, and they're still relying on the success of this game. Still. The problem with the previous episodes is that they have no soul at all. They just want to make a lot of money, and altough those games are not bad either, they are not and never will be as amazing as this one.

I miss Jesper Kyd...

Ever find yourself staring at smiling Ezio and just smile back?

"Sanctuary" makes me feel sad for everything Ezio has gone through. He was just 17 when he lost his father and his two brother. Everything changed in a single night, from being a young boy to an assassin. He had to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. No time to grieve, no time to cry. Only one task: finding who killed the family and erase them. But then he get involved in something bigger, with to no possibility to turning back. Year after year, Ezio has become stronger, faster, smarter, we can say the perfect assassin. And he had to renounce to his future, to the love of his life, Cristina. Maybe he had fun in the middle, he had a few friends...but that wasn't an ordinary life. Then he saw Cristina dying in his arms... While he was involved in the Assassin's battle, the battle for creating a better world, he did so much for others. But maybe no one has ever heard the scream of sorrow coming from the deep of his heart. Thank you, Ezio, for this magnificent and sad story.

The most beautiful thing about the music is it has some sadness, but with defiance. great art

I really like the track that begins at 32:08. For me, it represents the moment when Ezio begins to realise that his destiny and his role in history is much bigger than a simple mission to avenge his family.

'Home in Florence', 'Leonardo's Inventions', 'Sanctuary', 'Flight Over Venice' and 'Dreams of Venice' did it for me. I then started to realize how good this game was and how genius the OST is. It's timeless. The AC games after AC3 basically have lackluster soundtracks when compared. And remember how fun it was simply collecting Feathers with the amazing music in the background.

When I first played this game, were it all began, from 2007 when AC was still new. Now I'm back here again when the franchise is on its final years before it's destroyed by the greed of its maker. Thanks for taking me on a ride, even if it's just worthwhile. From Jumping from the rooftops of Florence to Venice, the sound of the Hidden Blade when assassinating Templars. It's not just a game, it's a feeling One can never forget.

ah yes... my first assasins creed. What a wonderful touching game. I love the revenge, the stealth, the missions, the gameplay... A true wonder of a game.

The nostalgia. The bitter sweet feeling I now have, it's almost too painful. I can't even describe it. I can't even begin to put into words the masterpiece that was the Assassin's Creed franchise, and in particular, the masterful project that was Assassin's Creed 2. I honestly can't summarise or begin to describe how it made me feel to be a part of this incredible experience. What it was and how it felt, eternal. A timeless masterpiece. It's just too much for me to convey what it meant then and what it means now so I'm just going to let this soundtrack be a reminder to myself and a way to narrate the essence of Assassin's Creed, and what it used to be. Forever, Assassin's Creed.

Greatest composers in gaming… jasper kyd, I really do hope they bring him back & alongside the current composer of AC mirage

Listening to the soundtrack while reading the books is just so awesome

42:08 absolutely beautiful!

Best story ever. Best assassin ever. Best soundtrack ever. Fuck, i love this game :"3 Requiescat in pace, Ezio.

Ezio is my favourite Assassin's ❤️ (2020)

I love OSTs. They immediatly take you back to the awesome Adventures we had. How easy we forget...

(Imagine the song of Ezio's epic speech) Believe me or not, but when I was younger I always wanted a laptop (my parents hate consoles) because I first played AC Bloodlines on PSP when my uncle gave it to me and I absolutely love it; and then my cousins told me stories about Ezio when AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations were released (because they had PS3 and XBox 360). In that time, the only console I had was the PSP and I thought (even if I hadn't had the opportunity to play another AC game since then) it was the best video games serie ever, and now I still think it, it just need more time to be developed another brilliant game like AC2 (it looks like they are working really hard on the new AC Empire), but I know no other AC game will be better than AC2 (its storyline, Ezio's behaviour and biography, places, songs, Desmond... I don't know, it has something that inspires me, that makes it one of the most memorable games ever). I always knew that, when I had a laptop, the first thing I'd do would be installing all AC games (specially AC2). 3 or 4 years ago, my parents offered me the PS4, but I chose PS3 because its games, games prices, but mainly because of AC. I LOVE AC. Now, 9 years later, finally I'm coming to university. And do you know what? I'd kept my word: I'm replaying all the saga for the 7th time now (and more times will come), and I still love it exactly like the first time. I will never regret playing it and any second spent on this saga was worth it.

When you're relaxing and absorbing the beautiful notes of the song, and an ad interrupts you with full blast dubstep. Almost had a heart attack 👌🏼

The Ezio Trilogy are some of the best games ever made and I'm not just saying AC games, I mean of all-time!

Such a great masterpiece of a game.

4:56 makes me want to run and scream
