Because an Altair clone with the with the exception of TWO finger-blades instead is sexier than the original?

Are you retarded?

You clearly don't have an eye for fashion.

Differences that make this protagonist sexier:
1. He has a collar.
2. The collar is popped.
3. He has another collar.
4. That collar is also popped.
5. His tunic is tighter.
6. There are red lines on his tunic, as opposed to just a sash outlining his belt.
7. There are more details on the tunic.
8. His belt is silver instead of brown.
9. He has a cape that goes off to the side.
10. I haven't seen him with his hood off. Seriously, it was a huge letdown when I saw what Altair looked like without his hood on. Hopefully this Mediterranean flavor will be more agreeable.

There you have it. To the unobservant TehreTard, it may look like a simple Altair clone, but Ezio clearly has a much wiser fashion coach. Speaking of which, we need to get Bravo and Lifetime to settle their dispute so we can get Project Runway back on the air.

Step 1- interested by the concept and setting. Check.
Step 2- Really liking the looks of the media released. Check
Step 3- Buy and hate the game.

It's Assassin's Creed 1 all over again.

The obvious flaws of the first games seem to have been corrected tough.

AC1 felt more like a rough try to make a good assassin game from PoP.

In AC2:
You can swim
You can hide in crowds etc, not only the 4 same retarded spots.
Guards will sometimes check in previously safe spots like hay.

I liked the first game, and I do look forward to the second. I do wonder, since this is Italy this time, I wonder if the Inferno will be mentioned. It kind of seems essential to have the Divine Comedy in video games. Plus, it would be badass. Oh, skippable cutscenes.

That's all I care for.

Half-way Seconded.

I wanna learn more on the storyline as well...
I've only made it halfway through the first on e though so i better get to beating it >_>

I hope they put some night missions in this one, that was one thing I didnt like about the first is that it just kinda made it seem that it all happened within one day because there was no time concept like the sun rising and setting.

Although I was hoping for another Israel based setting, this sounds really nice. I actually enjoyed the original gameplay allot even if there was a fair bit of repetitiveness. I AM EXCITED.

YES. Day and Night please. This is a seventh generation sandbox game for christ's sake.

I hope to god there's no more eavesdropping missions in the new game.

Those are what ruined the first one for me.

I might be wrong but i don't think there will be a hammer as a weapon, you know being an assassin who jumps, climb, run and apparently "glides" with some da vinci looking wings, unless is some little throwable weapon.
The health thing sounds interesting and put more challenge to the game and i really hope for more missions than in the first one.

I laughed out loud when I read this part.

Also, you can't forget that all of Ezio's clothes are clearly made out of a much higher quality fabric than Altair's. Not to mention the fact that Altair actually thought he could pull off an all-white ensemble after Labor Day. Puh-lease.

So it's clear that Ezio has the upper hand in terms of fashion sense, number of hidden blades, the ability to not drown, and a whole host of other new skills that Altair lacked. The only question now is whether Ezio can accomplish the seemingly impossible task of topping Altair in the ridiculously-American-sounding accent department.

Assassins Creed 1 was great but most of the mistakes in the first are being corrected so i think Assassins Creed 2 will be gold.

Yep

He's like a pimp

Didn't have Step 3 with me, it was an amazing game that wasn't devoid of flaws but still went past the expectations I had going into the game. So far this new one seems to be addressing some of the major issues that griped the first game and adding some very cool new additions too.

I just can't wait to climb up the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence and St Mark's Campanile in Venice and god knows where else in god knows where.

:x

I hope they make the achievements a little harder to get this time, the first AC was an easy 1k tbh.

it looks interesting.

Imagine that you hadn't used a walkthrough.

fffffs use walkthroughs, I don't care, just don't go around saying that games are easy when you have to follow walkthroughs to get 1000/1000

Have you got any evidence I used a walkthrough? And don't tell me what to do young lady.

You got them all within 3 days of completing the game.

There's proof enough for me.

Assassins Creed is maybe an easy 750G, but 1000G? I think not! :o
Looking for all those damn flags.
I think I have 800somethingG.

So yeah.

Giant BattleHammer while gliding in the air for an assassination?

Possible? No.

If you don't have proof then you should should zip it!

but its true

AC achievements were ridiculously boring to get. I'll take difficult achievement's over time wasting achievements any day of the week.

I got Assassins Creed for Christmas and never gave it much of a chance because I got stuck on memory block 4. I decided yesterday that I was going to play all the games that I have never finished, and now I'm hooked on this game. I can't wait for the second one.

It kind of gets me in the mood to play the Hitman games as well, but my old PS2 is no longer working and the PS3 isn't backward compatible. I hope they release a new Hitman games in 2009-2010 as well.

it sounds like its gonna be pretty good. Let's hope its not as repetative as the first one.

I love assassins creed but the repetition of the missions is just too.. how do you say..?

PREPOSTEROUS!

Should I get #1 before #2?

also, MULTIPLAYER PLOX

*steal*
OH NOEZ I LOSTED IT WAT DO I DO?

Looks like your fucked.

I'm really hoping that there will be a little more variety in this game than the last. The last was SOOO repetitive and it just got harder.
And it was annoying you couldn't run and jump around the city without a million gaurds going after you.
