The official Xbox 360 magazine has revealed a few interesting tidbits of information on their website regarding the highly anticipated Assassin’s Creed 2, including news that it will feature a property investment mini-game that they describe as being “rewarding and fun.”
Judging by their remarks, which are based on time spent playing the game in preparation for review, it appears that the main character Ezio will have a range of combat moves that Altair didn’t have in the first game, including the ability to “pick people up and throw them around” and “kick them while they’re on the ground.” The reviewer describes the combat as “FANTASTICALLY violent.”
Furthermore, they’ve revealed that we’ll be able to jump into a Gondola and punt around the canals of Venice. Though nothing was revealed about the game’s storyline, they have said that the ending of Assassin's Creed 1 will be explained and that the game is "infinitely better than the first game." Sounds very promising!
We’ll have a full review of Assassin’s Creed II ahead of its release date in North America on November 17, 2009 and in PAL regions on November 20, 2009.

Not only was I annoyed with the gameplay in the first one, but the cutscenes were badly done and the main character was such a stuckup d*****bag that I didn't care what happened to him. I hope these are all fixed as this does sound promising.

"Infinitely better than the first game" is great to hear. However I would be much more pleased if he said "infinitely less buggy than the first game", because that's my main concern. I didn't think Assassin's Creed was a bad game, in fact I really enjoyed it. What I didn't like was the fact that I couldn't even finish it on my console because my copy had a game-breaking glitch that Ubisoft never replaced.

I played the first one and got (infinitely) bored after about 2 hours of doing the same thing over and over. Theres no way a cross platform game is getting my hard earned 60 bones. Dumbed down graphics are not appealing after playing Uncharted 2. I personally think if a company want to do a cross platform game they should sell it for 40$, then you know upfront you are getting mediocre production value.

As the biggest (heavily stressed) Assassin's Creed fan I know, I know this will be among my greatest games of all time. I'm not gonna say "I'm the greatest Assassin's Creed fan in the world", becasue that's plain stupidity; let's just say I'm confident that I'm up there though.
Some people may criticise me for my views on what I consider such a masterpiece, but it takes a lot more to appreciate a marvel than some may think. This game is a work of art to me.
Words cannot describe how I feel about this game. The game itself can it do the talking.

@ 5 you haven't played the 2nd one, it looks betta than the first. don't judge a game before you even play it yet. i'll probably get this game after about a week or two because of modern warfare 2 :Hopefully naziz zombie mini game is on there also. and left 4 dead 2. after i get those games well played out i might buy AC 2. i just hope there's no stupid ending and freezing like there first. that ruined the game when you ran into a corner and your ps3 froze.
