Title: Assassin's Creed 2: Like the first Assassin's Creed, but better in every way

Seriously.  Game is fantastic so far.

If you were even remotely a fan of the original, give this one a shot.

One of the best game reviewers in my country gave it a 'Meh, it's okay but still a meh!' so I'll wait for a while, see how things develop. I had a horrible time in the original, but that went better on my 2nd playthrough. Also the whole future with the animus thing doesn't do it for me, I just wanna assasinate people, not talk with some blond chick :V

I've been playing the game for a good five-six hours or so and I haven't left the animus once, for what it's worth.  I liked the intrigue present in the first game's "real world" sequences, but this game even manages to pull that off better than the first game, while simultaneously keeping you in the game itself.

...

So I couldn't find this one building I was looking for.

I pulled up a satellite map of Florence (out of game) to navigate to the location of the building (in game). <_<;

Currently on my second playthrough of this. (Mainly because my trophies failed to trigger for Chapter 6+Bleeding Effect and my Pickpocket achievement won't trigger. Hopefully replaying the game will unlock them this time. Wonderful game and a wonderful soundtrack to go with it.

Very yes. I've listened to that track far too many times now. In fact I was listening to it when I opened this topic and saw your post. :V

The soundtrack WAS awesome.  It was an awesome thing that made the million other awesome things awesomer.

Game of the year.
