yeah -$60 takes away my neutrality and objectiveness :p , now seriously, will see next Thursday ;)

[Rappy Veteran]

I chose this over MW2 but I will rent MW2 just to see if its for me :p but I am really hyped for AC2

[Black Flash]

Wow they put a lot of work into that trailer, and is there more parts coming out? I'm been waiting for this game for the longest time but forgot all about it due to the MW2 hype.

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

I liked the first one but never actually finished it, i may get around to finishing it about the same time as this hits a value bin in Game though...

I chose MW2 over this.. but will be getting this anyway.. maybe a month later or something. But let me tell you man, MW2 is really EPIC!

:woot: no words

A solid 9.5

Hows the repetition in this? It absolutely slaughtered UC1 for me, I couldn't complete it and would've given it like 7/10 at best.

Well that and I thought the whole manipulating time storyline was awful, I thought it was going to be an actual game set in those times. However I'm willing to overlook that if AC2 is a better overall package.

I have this pre-ordered at ?28, and want to know whether to go through with it. If I cancel I can't re-buy @ ?28, it was a special offer a month or so back.

While I will read reviews, I won't be engulfed in them after everyone gushed over AC, seemingly IMO without playing more than 30mins-1hour of it till the mind numbing repetition kicked into full throttle.

yeah AC1 was repetitive as hell, I had a hard time finishing it

First of all the Italian renascence setting is awesome, beautiful and very well recreated, some of the dialogs are half italian - half english, that makes the atmosphere unique (and remembers me of this[/url:p:p) Graphics were vastly improved and looks much more colorful than AC1.

Well I'll talk more about gameplay next Thursday because it's the official release date and because I'm going to play it the whole weeken:yes:s: .

But yes, you will enjoy it much much more than AC1, so go ahead and keep you pre-order, may be best adventure game of the year, may be over U2.

yeah I heard its epic but then I also heard the single player is short and I am not a multiplayer kind of person.

It took my about 1.5 days (playing off and on throughout the day) to finish the MW2 campaign, and like you I am not the multiplayer kind of person. I felt the story was epic but it was quite short. Cant wait for AC2 to come out, but that wont be till 2010 for PC. :(

I would go with AC2 to then, I can't even be arsed finishing the SP in MW2 now :p

But I am having a bit of fun online.

[soniqstylz]

I love how in those videos you can see some of the new moves, like dropping coins to distract guards.

MW1 and MW2 have like, some of the shortest single player campaigns I've played.

Lazy butt. :p

don't get me wrong I want to play MW2 just I don't do multiplayer (tried once in L4D on 360 and I failed badly!)

[t0mbi]

Those videos were pretty sweet! :o

[MR_Candyman]

I loved these videos. Oh, ya, and yay for Canada! (watch the end of the credits on the 3rd vid)

it's not that short.. it's taking me around 7 hours now (still not finished) on Veteran X_X... but I'm still going to get AC2 anyway.. lol.

[t0mbi]

Games are getting short these days... :s

[Kreuger]

it's not that short.. it's taking me around 7 hours now (still not finished) on Veteran X_X... but I'm still going to get AC2 anyway.. lol.

The last 3 COD games have been around 7 hours on the normal difficulty for me.

Anyways, I can't wait for this. Im hoping to get it for xmas. I still havent picked up the first game but Ive played it so I wont be out of the loop on this.

[Spookie]

I brought this home with me tonight from work and well, wow, the story is MUCH improved (it's one of those you can't even touch on without spoiling it!) You feel like Desmond is growing as a character this time rather than feeling like a gimmick so you can play super assassin. The missions really do feel varied and the locations are original, the economy works and your 'home' of sorts improves as you sink in money to improve the villa which is a nice touch.

If AC1 was a proof of concept this is the final super polished and very good final product.

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

*cough* Nothing to see here... Move along...

Replaying on veteran and just finished Whiskey hotel, about 6 hours so far.

Although some say its short. Its a nice length, doesn't drag out, no wait here until the chopper arrives with bugger all fuel 150mtrs away missions. Continues the story well and leaves it open to MW3, however i do not want a 3rd.

Dude, wrong game. This thread is about Assassin's Creed 2 and not Modern Warfare 2 ;)
