assassin's creed 2 is a huge and beatiful world and definately better than fable 2. don't get me wrong, fable 2 has good environments but it doesn't look as good as ac 2 does. ezio is a better protagonist than sparrow since ezio has more character depth and it is so epic to see him growing from a carefree young man to a master assassin. sparrow on the other hand doesn't even have his own voice, which in my opinion makes the game far less emotional than it should be. but i must say the dog adds to the charm of fable 2.
