One of the games I was most looking forward to during E3 was the sequel to Assassin’s Creed. Although the repeated cutscenes and lack of real variety when it comes to the assassinations was disappointing, the gameplay was fun and had the potential to be even better. I loved the climbing and aerial acrobatics part of the game and while the hand-to-hand combat was flawed, it wasn’t bad either.
Many of the annoyances from the first game appear to be fixed in the second. While I’m still actually waiting for the next game in the Hitman series, this will probably be enough for me to play a fulltime killer for the time being.

I absolutely cannot wait for this game to come out! I agree, the first one was a lot of fun, though really repetitive when it came to killing people. It was tiresome to always parry stab parry stab
This is cool.. Always enjoy games like that!
are you serious? Assassin’s Creed 1 was by far the worse game I’ve ever played. Travelling to different towns, doing the same old pick pocketing / stealing / ears dropping got so so old after the 3rd time and I totally hated the game. It was so repetitive I thought I was playing the old red and white nintendo with repeating stages. I still wonder how much the guy at Gamespot got paid for giving it a high rating.
