Since I've been giving AC2 boxes a hard time recently, I decided to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak. I found a nice photo of a street in Venice on iStockphoto.com and modified it to fit the style and color of the game. (Removing all of the modern elements like power lines was a pain, LOL)

The render of the character on the front is obviously the model from AC1, modified. I wanted to get away from the standard render that everyone uses so I tried to emulate some of the styling that they've added to the new character. I think it's convincing enough to work.

Hope you like it! (Printable version available.)

A completely unique AC II box! Great details on the back, a beautiful scene on the front (I'd like to see the original image for reference, btw). My favorite AC II box on the site as of yet.

Great flow and design. I really like the look of the front imagery. It depicts the setting as well.

Nice work GB, like the different look. Front looks great, if a little sparse for a retail box. Maybe adding a reflection in the water would have added something more. Back design is excellent, although I prefer to read all the text, even guess the words that are off screen. Also would have liked some game feature details, since this is a sequel... game should show it's better than first. Good Work.

Bumpin this! Great work here! It sucks that this got buried so fast, it's a great piece of art that everybody should at least take one good look at.

#9, Yep, I know his name is Ezio. If you notice, I used it in the letter on the back of my box.

I see a small flaw, the way altair is standing shouldn't he have a reflection in the water?

#11, Assassins, like vampires, don't cast reflections! LOL Yeah, you're probably right. I didn't put a reflection in because in the original photo there were objects where Ezio is standing now and they did not cast reflections into the water due to the angle of the camera. Granted, they were shorter and given that the character is taller, I suppose he may actually throw a visible reflection. I supposed I should consider updating this. hmmmmm
