Impressions of Assassin's Creed 2

It sounds pretty awesome, and will definitely be different from the first one. In case you haven't heard about it, here are the new features:

-Takes place in 1476 in Venice, Italy

-The character's name is Ezio Auditore de Firenze, also an ancestor of Desmond Miles

-The numerous water canals of Venice can be used as hiding spots, or places to drown your targets

-Many historical figures from Renaissance era Italy will be in the game, such as Da Vinci and Machiavelli.

-Notoriety system like the Hitman series

-Sixteen different types of missions

-More weapon selection such as axe, hammer, mace, spear, sword, halberd, and hidden blades. The weapon you have equipped will determine the tactics you need to use for combat.

-More sophisticated combat such as being able to disarm enemies

-Use of da Vinci's flying machine

-Night and day cycle

Personally, it's definitely a step up from the first one, and it could be an excellent game if executed properly. What do you think of it?

dont wanna sound rude or anything but that was already known. well at least i knew except for the detail on the water canals. if i find it interesting?(the whole new features) hell yes! seems like it aint goin to be the same boring thing as the 1st.gow117

How could one possibly use those weapons steathily or even carry them around thus?

1. The main character- Ezio- won't have to carry weapons all the times, except the 2 hidden blades since he can disarm enemies's and use their weapons against them.

2. When he stealth kill enemies, he use his hidden blades.

I really liked Assasins Creed but it got soooooooo repetitive.spendinbig

Assassin's Creed 2 won't be repetitive. At least that's what they say. Anyway, this game is going to be amazing. I can't wait. It might even be GOTY.

Sure the first one got repetitive from city to city, but doesn't familiarity build content?

I loved every minute of the first one and will be picking up the second incarnation.

I have not received a Game Informer since I got the free 1 year subscription when I got my PS3 (It came with the Bioshock 2 cover one). I did see a friends AC2 one and some some pretty sweet pics and read some good things about this game. I can't wait for it to come out, it looks some much more fun than the first one. Maybe we will even get replayability!

not a big fan of Assassins Creed.

but i have to admit..it looks orgasmic
