Assassin's Creed 2

I started playing this last night. The game plays a lot like Assassin's Creed 1, but they took a lot of the repetitive stuff out and tightened up the story a bit more. I think this game is what Assassin's Creed 1 should have been. It feels like the first game, but it flows much much better to make it a much more enjoyable experience.

Thanks for the overview. My brother is looking at getting this and probably will.

Glad to hear, I pre-ordered this from Amazon, should be in when I get home. I am looking forward to this one.

I agree with crhee8. My Xbox 360 copy arrived yesterday from Amazon and I also couldn't help thinking, "Man, this is what the other one should have played like," heh. Also, sadly, this was the first time I've been graced with the new "eco" packaging (the case full of holes like swiss cheese). I've successfully avoided them up until yesterday

AC2 is a perfect version of AC1. I have yet to find any flaws in this game. The game structure has been dramatically improved. Everything about it is better than the first game

EXCEPT your character. Enzio is kind of a douchey, wuss compared to Altiare. Altiare was a cold blooded killer who would slit anyone's throat without thinking twice about it. Enzio is all emotionally driven and stuff. Turned assassin after the execution of his father. Altiare, on the other hand, cut his way out of the womb and murdered his mother immediately following birth.

My favorite move I pulled so far was air assassinating 2 guys at the same time with double hidden knives. I did not expect this at all as I was attempting to air assassinate just one guy. Was a pleasant surprise.

Yeah that's a sweet move.

you know what's a lot of fun; go into large battles unarmed. Instead of "counter", you have a "disarm" option by holding RT and pushing X when you are attacked. You then disarm your opponent, take their weapon, and hit X again to kill him with it. Then press down on the D pad to drop that weapon so you can take someone else's weapon

Oh man, I'm gonna have to try that, heh.
