After about 20 hours I finally got through Assassin's Creed 2, and I have to say that the ending was probably the most bizarre thing I've seen as far as story and plot go in a long time. One thing's for sure, there's going to be a third and I hope it can wrap all this crazy train of a story up in a satisfying ending. The game's new setting seemed alot cooler in the screenshots but pretty much played out the same as Altair's Holy Land setting. The new weapons, including a hidden gun ala Desperado style, are fun to use and the animations for the fights are done pretty well, except for the occasional odd placement of weapons through the face or body sometimes.
The story mode was entertaining but the whole plot around Ezio was a little too self-centered compared to Altair's "yo go stab that dude, now" pacing which kinda threw off the whole Assassin's lineage thing. The game shouts out at you from the very beginning that you can do a whole bunch o' stuff this time around, but make no mistake, once you finish the actual story, you will find that most of the stuff left to do really has no point and eventually will get very repetitive and old pretty fast. All in all, I have to admit I enjoyed the game and would recommend it to anyone who liked the first one even just a little bit.
