[HilariousNinja]

Yeh just finished it too yesterday too. Top, top game. Takes the first game and improves on it from every angle.

Okay, I?ve been trying to complete this game for what seems like ages now and Im stuck on what I think is just before the last mission.

It says I had to find all the codec pages and then go see Leonardo, I?ve found them all but now Im unable to find him..

At this point he should be in Venise or in your mansion near the codex wall.

Thank you, I'll go have a look tonight :-)

Just finished the game. Totally wish there were more games like it. Solid story line, other activities, fun, making you think how to accomplish something from occasion to occasion.

Gonna miss it.

Same! I was thoroughly impressed, considering I couldn't get into the first installment.

I played it 4 nights, 5 hours/night ish and ended up beating it after ~23 hours (including most side quests, bar feathers and races)

yeah same just did the game, loved it! :D

[Jimmy0]

Got the game last Friday, been playing it in my free time and am about 85% through and I absolutely love it!

Will be sad when it's over, because I'll have to move onto something else. :p

[Valerus]

I am sad I beat this in 4 days. I wish I had paced myself better. Haha, oh well, I guess that's what spring break was for :p

[Rappy Veteran]

I just got 100,000 florins I wondered if I would get a trophy :rofl: might try and get 1m anyone been that bored to try that? :shifty:

[Jimmy0]

Finished the main story today, just need to go back through the game for the feathers and then a few other trophies and I will have myself my first platinum. (Y)

Didn't give this game enough time when I first got it, currently hooked on it like crack. Great game (Y)

The second episode was good but the third is even better.

You mean Brotherhood yeah?

Was a bit wary as only a year has passed, think I'll wait till it's around ?20!

absolutly. In Brotherhood they took the gameplay elements that made AC2 a great game and expanded them even further.

Fighting on teh horse is soo 11&!! :)

Awesome, but I won't be getting Brotherhood till it's cheaper.

Want to plat this, having a ton of fun, but those 100 feathers look annoying :/ I have very little patience for collecting things when it's 3 figures. Any good guides for location anyway? I think I have about 12 from naturally playing through so far.

[.KICK]

I am still playing AC2 as I need to finish it before I move onto the Brotherhood SP. Just finished Sequence 9. Just got all the seals as well so good that awesome armour! The last couple of Assassins Tombs were highly annoying! Game would be so much easier if Ezio followed your input properly! Apart from that, this game is epic. :)

AB, check IGN or Gamefaqs for some feather tips, someone will have made an image with them and it is easier this time around as you can see how many feathers are left in each area in the menu.

[Razorwing]

Yup it is really easy to get Full Achievements in AC2.. ACB... not so much.

[Neo003]

I have last 2 achievement?s left in AC2 (I got 3 or 4 of them yesterday :p) 1 for collecting all feathers and the 2nd one for the hammer for which you have to collect 50 feathers. I'm way too lazy to do that.

Ubisoft has just released an update to Assassin's Creed 2 Deluxe Edition which adds SteamPlay support! They also has released and Deluxe Edition Upgrade (it costs 3.99 euro) for the Standard Edition users :)

I see a deluxe edition on steam. I just bought AC2 a little while ago (2 weeks or so), so I gather I don't have it? The description at the time showed what is in the deluxe edition though...

[revanmj]

Well, I bought AC2 on the Holiday Sale and I got Deluxe Edition :) But there are some problems currently because I can't see AC2 on my games list on my Mac so I can't install it.

[qdave]

Finally completed ac2. I must say it was quite amazing. Despite the weird ending i did enjoy it a lot...especially venezian architecture :D

[Paul Ferson Veteran]

I thought the ending was brilliant. It was quite thought provoking, and it makes me want Brotherhood really badly. I might try and borrow a friend's copy of Brotherhood though because I'm quite stingy with my money unless I can get something for what I know to be a very low price. The entire experience was very detailed, and although I had a few points I disliked (collecting all Codex pages to progress), I enjoyed playing immensely. I've also met a lot of people who are very passionate about the Assassin's Creed franchise through Twitter, which is great to see. While it might not be as popular as the Call of Duty franchise, it still has some very passionate fans.

Well I got the first AC just before Christmas (after a friend recommended the series) and have been giving it a go the last few days. I've completed the Damascus assassination and it is already starting to feel very repetitive and well... boring (rare that I say that of a game - last one was Civilization Revolution). The fighting is a case of hitting square repeatedly, and running/jumping/escaping seems to consist of holding R1 and X like there are no other buttons on the controller. The travelling between the assassin's home and Damascus/Jerusalem/Acre has become very tedious (is there a point to it?) after just my second trip to the point where I've just charged through at full gallop completely ignoring the many soldiers chasing after me.

Are AC2/Brotherhood more of the same or are there major improvements? Or am I missing something? Because at the moment I really don't get what my friend's hype of the series was about.

Sorry to sound so negative but I've heard so many good comments about this series that I'm left feeling a bit baffled at the moment.

There are major improvements. I didn't even finish the first AC due to its repetitive nature. But AC2 and AC:B were two of my favorite games from the last 2 years.
