Got my copy of Assassin's Creed 2 ( with impressions)

Hey everyone, I just got my copy of the game. Since I have not finished it i cannot give full information on how the game works out, but I can give you a few info that most of you will be dying to know ( no spoilers).

When you first boot up the game, you'll quickly realize that the graphics are far better than the original, it looks exactly like all the gameplay pictures you've seen till now. Till now, I have not experienced any framerate drops or lag, the game runs smoothly and all animations look awsome and real. There have been some cool new animations which help many of the gameplay features alot. The noteriaty system adds more depth into the game, you have to be more sneeky this time around because the AI is much more efficient. Do not let the 40 minute demo video of gamespot let you down, if were good in sneaking in the previous game, you will have no problems here. The Scope of the game is just incredible, each city is very large and there are tons of stuff to do in them like side quests, helping out civlians, and collectables( which are very fun to collect, not like the first game) and you get rewards doing them. The story and vioce acting etc are superb. Ezio seems to be a very likable person, along with Leonardo DaVinci, they both just look badass.

I really recommend everyone getting this game, whether your were a fan of the original or not. This game is a GOTY contender for sure.

he sort of does, if i told you how he learns it would be a spoiler as it is a major part of the story. But you do do alot more moving around with him in this game, it's pretty cool.

Superb.Will get this game mostly on 25th as thats the release date for the game in my country.Just wanted to ask one more thing-Is Altair mentioned in the game at all?conistant

is it still as repetitive as the last? the same tasks in every city? (eavesdrop, pickpocket, etc.)

good to know. that was one of the major downsides of the original. that and the vast distances you had to travel between cities at the beginning of the game.

[QUOTE="Shoooryuken"] [QUOTE="Shoooryuken"]"Several new Mission types" Could you please specify? AC was repetitive as hell.. I can't believe it isn't anymore

yes i can. There will be escort missions, chasing people, stealing, bribing, decreasing your noteriety( tearing off you wanter poster scattred around the city , bribing officials), missions were you can't be seen and other stuff. as i said i have not finished the game so i cant give full info.

should i bother playing the original assassins creed first? or should i just skip it and start with the 2nd 1?kweeni

I'm definitely skipping.

For those of you not bothering with the first one, i recommend this video, Assassins Creed in 3 minutes

Sweet, I cannot wait to rent this or get it.

It looks very good. I cannot wait.

I really want this game but I had to get U2 and MW2 first, and since this game wasn't released until 16 days after my birthday and I had to settle for ACiT (which is actually a really good game I might add.)

Is it true that u learn free running from thieves and do u like learn to be faster or are u always the same speed from the beginning to end.

*SPOILER* maybe

You can play as Altair (By paying Uplay Points and u can buy his outfit and extra maps)

@dark-spartan : I am curious, is subtitles available on this game? Thanks.

Sounds good.

Can't wait for my copy to arrive tomorrow (along with the GoW Collection).

EDIT: Just got confirmation that my copy shipped and will be here tomorrow!

It's a good game but I was not so impressed by the graphics, I think they could've done a better job. The graphics look a bit washed out (specially on the doors cravings), not a big deal, it's still a good game

I haven't finished the 1st one... i was hoping the 2nd will have more weapons, armor and other stuff you can buy in a store and other improvements... i'm convinced... i'm getting this game! does it have a subtitle option?

Does anyone know if you can have more than onne save file. i don't remember properly, but in the first one, I couldn't save more than one file cause of the auto save. If i started a new game, it would overwrite my previous one. Thanks. Sorry if it was a dumb question. I couldn't figure it out in the first one.
