I hope it doesn't get repetitive like the first.

[Rubynator]

+ 1 Everyone is hyping this game up. Its a great game they should just fix the part about it being super repetitive.

[Weps]

Shiiiiiit.
This is gonna be GREAT.

[LakersGAFan]

I hope it doesn't get repetitive like the first.

I agree with that. 1st one graphically killed but it was the same crap over and over, climb the tower, syncrozine, jump down, save a peasant [expletive], pick a pocket.
The game developers said they "recognized that as a fault and approached development of part II with more innovative stories and standards that havnt been used in game play untill now".

I have no idea what that sheet exactly means but it sounds good to me.

I had fun with Assassin's Creed 1 until the missions kept repeating itself. I wonder how this game plays

I copped it yesterday. The opening sequence is freakin awesome. But it took like 20 minutes.....lol. The game starts right where part 1 left off where your staring at the wall and you see all those glowing puzzles/pics/phrases. Thats all I'm gonna say so I dont ruin it for anyone.I t seems to have been very upgraded. Only played about 10 mins after the opening, but it all seems as the developers promised. Ill post a further review after I've played more.

Can't wait to play this ish, but I'm on a COD high at the moment...probably wait until I get some Best Buy gift cards for Christmas before I buy this...

[LakersGAFan]

after playing this game now for about 20 hours my honest opinion is it tottaly lived up to the hype and my expectations. This should be considered as one of the GOAT.
The missions are in no way repetitive like part 1. Actually at times theres so many different missions going on at once its hard to remember all the objectives at the same time.
The graphics are even better than part 1 and thats hard to believe.
The story line is awesome.
The new weapon diversity is tight. And to get new weapons and armor you have to purchase them at stores.
And the new kill moves are dope.

I'm very happy. Its worth getting and then some. I cant wait to beat it so I can play it again.....lol

im asking this 4 xmax and that and gift cards so i can raid the ps3 shelves

Review from NY Dialy News.

It's not easy being an assassin.

As if running across rooftops and stabbing unsuspecting victims in the head wasn't enough, now members of the ancient order of killers also spend their time padding their art collections and renovating Italian villas.

Or so "Assassin's Creed 2" would have video gamers believe.

The game is the rare sequel that systematically improves upon its predecessors' strong points while mercilessly culling the bad. In fact, the latest installment in the franchise is so well-realized and packed with new types of gameplay and side quests, it makes the original look like little more than an elaborate demo.

The game follows the life of Ezio Auditore as he cuts a merciless swath of vengeance through Renaissance Florence, Venice and Rome. Our hero is the latest member of the order of assassins who have been fighting the evil machinations of the Knights Templar down through the centuries.

Despite the noble cause, Ezio's motivations are never less than personal, and it shows in the zest with which he dispatches his opponents.

The combat never feels quite as balletic as it did in the original, but the wide array of period weapons, from hammers to halberds, more than makes up the difference. A hidden pistol, smoke bombs and poison have been added to the arsenal as well, but nothing compares to the brutal efficiency of Ezio's double hidden wrist blades. Whether brandished in open combat or in a stealthy sneak attack, the alarming quickness of the kill ensures that the wrist blades remain one of the most powerful and satisfying weapons in video games.

The fast-paced adventure story may be more Dan Brown than it is Umberto Eco, but there is still a nerdy love for history at work in a game that has players hanging out with Leonardo da Vinci and platforming through the catacombs of famous buildings searching for hidden artifacts.

The repetitive pickpocket/eavesdrop/intimidate side missions and the bad Middle Eastern accents (well, actually, the new Italian accents are equally goofy, but somehow more endearing) of the original have been replaced by a solid variety of minigames and scavenger hunts, none of which ever feels like a burden and which will keep dedicated players busy for countless hours.

Even the sci-fi elements that annoyed so many gamers in the first game have been reworked to fade into the background. They are still there but, for most of the game, are a passably clever storytelling device instead of an obnoxious, pace-breaking gimmick.

In an industry that seems to embrace atrophy as often as it does innovation, "Assassin's Creed 2" should serve as a sterling example for emulation. That developer Ubisoft has taken such pains to address the myriad issues of fans and critics so completely is nothing short of astounding.

The result is that "Assassin's Creed 2" leaves its predecessor, and most of the competition, bleeding in the gutter.
