Fantastic. Improves a ton of stuff from the original, and even the stuff it doesn't, well that's okay too.
I'm so busy having fun collecting crap I haven't gotten very far in the real game... but it's still a ton of fun.
I recommend it! Discuss or something
This will be the last time I visit this thread until it comes out for PC. I don't want to risk any spoilers or anything. Until then, enjoy the game you console having bastards!
The first game is probably my favorite video game to date, so I have high hopes for this one. We'll see how it goes.
I still don't have the first one... but yea I will probably get this one as soon as i have some money (Christmas). I only played the first one a couple times at a friend's house.
Yeah Assassins Creed II beats the first one easily, as you expected. I especially like how it isn't the same #@!$ over and over. I hated the repetitiveness in the first one. I also like all the things to do apart from questing. Really a great game.
I loved the first game, although the repetitiveness got to me after a while, and the final boss sucked some god damn balls. Looking forward to fixing my ps3 and playing #2.
By the way, if anyone didn't notice, Ubisoft made a little live action show of assasin's creed. I haven't watched the whole thing, but I watched the first one.

This game doesen't come out for PC for a few months, ergo, this game sucks.
Also, read the CAD review for it, very insightful.
I'm thoroughly enjoying this game. I too find myself just roaming around and doing irrelevant side-stuff, therefor skipping the main story-line a lot. I find that it is easy to get lost in the story though. Half way through the game it just gets a little confusing as to what exactly I am doing, and that does get a little annoying. Overall though, the openness of the game definitely makes up for that.
I haven't played the first yet, and I will say that it seems like the beginning of the game, and that stupid side-story that they felt they had to put in, requires that you have played the first game to understand it. Overall though, great game, and I highly recommend it.
