The first one like many said was really repetitive. You pretty much experienced the whole game in about 4 hours. I have a feeling the next one is going to be a global adventure of sorts in Altair's world to find those *things* (to not spoil it for people). They were shown to be in many places around the world so I imagine that AC2 will have more lavish places to go to. Desert towns, lavish jungle areas, etc etc.
I really hope though either #2 or #3 allows you to play as Desmond as the assassin in the year 2012. I want to scale skyscrapers, leap from construction sites, and ride around on semi trucks to get around town.
As for simple fixes to wherever the series goes we just need 3 basic things to re set the bar up a notch from the first one. 1) More weapons. 2) Specific ways intended to eliminate targets. (Many times even though it's a boss I could just rambo in and go for the sheath knife stabs without caring about guards.) To elaborate maybe you can for example only assassinate your next target by going to his room at night when he is asleep. Take all day to infilitrate the place. Get a new outfit to seem like one of his guards outside the door. Night comes-you shank the other guard. Go in and to your surprise he isn't there. Where is he? *Guards alerted by the dead one you had outside of the room.* You quickly have to scale out the guy's bedroom window. Climb to the top of a giant castle only to notice a remote tower in the distance of it. Carefully make your way through the top while being shot with arrows and you make it into the real bedroom where the man is protected by 5 of the most vicious guards. A real fight ensues and as you almost win-he takes his own life by leaping out the window you came in. The information you wanted is long gone...until you find his diary and blah blah blah next chapter of game.d
As for number 3) A little more heroics. I would love to try to be running to escape as I see a lamp pole/post and i quickly latch onto it to do a backwards kick to my foes. I know Altair is meant to be human, but at the same time he needs to be able to do some more WOW things in his approach to make the game better eye candy.
My 2 cents. :)
