Re: Assassin's Creed 2

Cool trailer.

I liked the first game a lot. I have my fair share of complaints about it, but stealth is my favorite genre. Looking forward to some more details.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

I was a fan of the first one because of the freedom I had controlling altair, but yea, I'd acknowledge looking back that the game was rough around the edges. This one could be a great game if managed right; AC is a strong foundation to build upon.


Looks like its going to be a another great 4th Q.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

I loved the first, but there wasn't any replay value. I don't want to find like 400 f'ing flags for achievements.

Same here. I was wasting time before the final mission going around hunting flags and killing Templars (loved doing that). I got down to 1 Templar left, but I had all of their locations checked off so I lost interest.

After watching the teaser at the game's site, it looks like it says "Game Informer 04.16.09" written backwards. Maybe they'll have an exclusive?
