In November of 2007 a lot of gamers were busy playing Assassins Creed. Everyone was talking about how awesome it was, running around cities; jumping from platform to platform. Everything about this game was great. The first time you climb up a view point tower, you look out and you've got the entire city beneath your feet, you feel on top of the world, like you've done something completely awesome.
Remember the first time you did a leap of faith? How awesome it was to see your character plunging to the ground from hundreds of feet in the air, the camera zooms in, and then you have your nice soft landing in a pile of hay.
The missions made sense and were fun, run around gather information on someone, save a civilian, interrogate information out of someone, pick pocket someone, or ease drop on someones conversation to see what your target is up to.
All of this was fun for a little while, then the repetitiveness kicked in, only 4 different types of missions, having to do the same thing in in each town over and over. Most of the game was just going out gather information then go kill your target, sometimes it was simple and boring, but some targets ran, which made it fun to have to chase them through town on roof tops. But even then the controls are bland, on screen everything looks awesome, scaling buildings, jumping from object to object, but all your doing is holding the a button pushing forward and hitting the action button. It gets kind of boring if you ask me. But having too much buttons to press can be a bit complicated and may scare some people away. At least the story was somewhat interesting and had its twists, which is what had me constantly playing the game until the end. oh how the end teased you, which brings us to know there is going to be an Assassins Creed 2. Even though we definitely now know there will be one.
here's the trailer for Assassins creed 2 in case you havent seen it:

In this game you play as another ancestor. It takes place during the renaissance and you take part yet again in shaping the history of the world. As you can tell from the trailer this assassin named Ezio has all of his fingers unlike altair, which could mean that Ezio wasnt originally planning on being an assassin, until the death of his father like the trailer points out. Unlike Altiair ; Ezio has 2 hidden blades, I guess killing your target with one blade wasnt enough. But the graphics look stunning, the plotline sounds interesting,Were just going to have to wait and see on November 17, 2009.
