Captain Obvious approves.
Yeah, I like it pretty much, which results in the fact of me being a history student. For me, it's up on one level with MGS, as the series has created a whole universe in the last 4 years and did a damn good job at that as well. I'm startled on how true to the history books some of the events, that are shown in the game, are, with Assassin's Creed 2 doing the best job on that. The assassination attempt on Lorenzo de Medici through the Pazzi family is described just like that in the sources from that time, only of course without an Ezio Auditore coming in for the rescue. I also like, how the fill up the gaps history has left us, i.e. Leonardo da Vinci never finishing a painting (true fact) because he was too busy helping the assassins, or how they bring modern perceptions of historic events or things into the game, i.e. Leonardo's comment on the Mona Lisa in AC Brotherhood ("badly drawn, the smile overdone and meaningless") is a common view amongst art historians today.
