Just a quicky to say that if you haven't played it, get a hold of it, it's far far better then the first one & I picked up a copy a couple of weeks ago for a tenner & didn't put it down again until I'd finished it. It would be advisable to get the first for a quick play through so you know the whole background plot of the game, but all the annoying repetative things of the first have completely gone in the 2nd & it flows from start to finish.

Just to jump on this thread a little. I recently picked up Infamous secondhand. Brilliant game, reminded me of GTA mixed with some City of Heroes and Akira.

I've looked at the Assassin's Creed games a few times, I think i was just put off because in my head it seems like there's alot of stealth and I dont enjoy stealth. Am I wrong?

Heh, yeah I have Infamous too, I enjoyed that quite alot, it reminded me of Star Wars Force Unleashed. because graphics and play style are similar.

Assasins creed 2 involves very little forced stealth (only on assasination missions where you have to follow someone to your target without drawing attention to yourself. Most of the time you just go in fists swinging, or I do atleast ), there isn't really a stealth feature, more you try to blend with the crowd or out run pursuers, or just plain kill them all till none want to follow you anymore. The game doesn't like you killing innocent people (because it's against the creed) but other than that you can do what you like, picking fights with 20 guards is fun. Disarming a full plate knight of his 2 handed battle axe & then impaling it in his head is never dull.
