Nice to hear so many positive impressions. I'm very busy with Dragon Age, but as soon as it's finished I will jump on Assassin's Creed II.

will i understand the story of this game even if i never played assassin's creed 1?

You can, but it's always better to play the first one first IMO (or at least read the plot spoilers online, heh)

well the first game was garbage. i don't want to play through it.

The soundtrack in this game is fantastic!

I m with you on this one !

Does anyone know if you can replay the missions in the game without starting the game right from the beginning? If you do, can you tell me how

Assassin's Creed 2 DLC detailed !



"Though we had little more than names to go on before, Ubisoft let some details slip today about the two forthcoming chunks of Assassin's Creed 2 DLC, due at the end of January and end of February respectively. In "Battle of Forli" ($3.99), you'll defend Forli (surprise) from the Orsi brothers with the aid of Machiavelli and Caterina Sforza. With six new memories, the DLC will allow you to "accomplish a daring rescue and prevent the Piece of Eden from falling into the hands of the Templars." Also, the flying machine is back!

In "Bonfire of the Vanities" ($4.99), you and Machiavelli will free Florence from "the grip of the mad monk Savonarola" by offing his underlings in ten memories. There's also a new district of Florence, and a new move for Ezio: the spring-jump, as if his similarity to Luigi wasn't already striking enough.

As many have speculated, the two additions fill in the missing sequences (12 and 13) from the game, meaning the DLC is a great buy for people who love murder and people with obsessive-compulsive disorder."

I played Assassin Creed 2 : very good game indeed

plateforming is amazing
fighting is good ... but simply too much forgiving : you make 10 error and still destroy those 10 guards !

Finished the game. The last time I enjoyed a game so much was back in 07 when I picked up AC. This game is amazing and I cannot describe the pure enjoyment I got from scaling every single building, and taking my time in finding every feather, glyph, and treasure in the game. I had the best 40 hours of gameplay this year with this game alone.

I patiently await Assassin's Creed III.
