So I've completed Assassin's Creed 2 !
I know I have the game only since yesterday, but it's so awesome that I simply had to skip school (lol)
Took me 12 hours to beat the main story. Overall 60% completion and got 700G on the way. So there's still a lot of things to do !

Were you trying for a speed run or is it really that short? I was expecting a bit longer adventure from an open world game.

Do you think the early Pokemon games are short ? They took me about 12 hours as well until I saw the credits.

Granted, there is not that much to do in AC2 in comparison to Pokemon games, but you can still expect a few hours more playtime, especially when you're trying to get the platinum trophy/1000G in the game.

The only pokemon game I've ever played was blue on GB. And from what I remember that game was really long. 12 hours is the lenght of Uncharted 2 which was a linear game. I was expecting something like GTA4 playtime from AC2, since it's supposed to be sandbox game.
