IGN Hands-on

In the two years since Assassin's Creed was shipped, the team has been working full steam on the sequel and this time with the benefit of a proven engine. It's one thing to address complaints from the first game, to maybe add a few new features, but Assassin's Creed II does quite a bit more than this. We're talking about new additions like upgradeable armor, a notoriety system, tons of weapons, and an entire villa to restore complete with shops and a brothel. Prepare to be overwhelmed.

That's not to say there haven't been technological improvements. You'll notice straight away that Assassin's Creed II (ACII) runs slightly more smoothly than its predecessor, with less noticeable frames dropped and a very cool new effect where environments spring forth from a three dimensional matrix. But having seen the trailers and the walkthroughs you already know that Assassin's Creed II visually recreates the renaissance. But how does it play? Will it silence the critics of the first installment? I sat down with the game for numerous hours and we're here to answer all of these pressing questions and more.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

[Tiko7523]

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

is there a difference in this game for xbox360 or ps3?

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

I'm on the fence, I loved the first one, but it got repetitive. I would love a demo or some videos of the different stuff.

Its looking like it will be different with the ability to buy upgrades and different options.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

not too into Creed much, game looks great but not sure if I will buy it. This series really doesn't scream BUY ME like it does to others.

Everything they've done has been to address repetition and there are plenty of videos out there showing everything that you can do.

I agree.

I bought the first one used and played it about two days, and haven't touched it since. I was bored to tears. I will rent and see if the hype is valid.

Re: Assassin's Creed 2

I love assassin type games usually (huge hitman fan and enjoyed Tenchu back in the day) but AC1 really didn't do it for me. I'm hoping number 2 is much better.
