I recently bought this game, and I can already tell it's going to become one of my most-obsessed-about games. It is FAR better than the first one. It's no longer repetitive, and just exploring buildings and stuff is more fun too. And hiding. Anyone else play this game?

Aww, man I wish I could. I'm a real Prince of Persia fan, but I never got the chance to play Assassins Creed. Games are pretty expensive, but it's certainly a game I would love to get. :)

I've finished it, it's awesome, better than the first, then it's also located near where I live so it had a special flavour to me, maybe one of these days I'll purchase the DLCs, and I'm already looking forward for the 3.

After playing it some more, I realize it's getting so much harder now to not be noticed, especially if you're trying to reduce your notoriety to anonymous level. My new favorite part of the game is my villa I get to decorate, and the town I get to renovate and buy stuff for.

I am a huge fan of the game. The story, the visuals, the game mechanic--love them all. I finished 100% about two weeks ago, and I have another go 'round started.

As for anonymity, my general practice is to go looking for a poster to rip down as soon as my notoriety starts creeping up. Also, since money is really not an issue (especially when you buy the treasure maps at the art store), bribing town criers is a surefire way of dealing with high levels of notoriety.

I've stopped playing for awhile. Even though I love the game, I am just a nervous wreck when it comes to what I have to do next - the carnival races. When I get nervous I make Ezio accidentally jump somewhere else instead of where I meant for him to go, and it just frustrates me to no end. The last tomb before getting the armor of Altair was a nightmare. I guess overall I just HATE timed missions. Anyone else find if it gives you a time limit it just gets all the more frustrating?

I hate timed missions especially when every seconds counts.

Its so much better than the first but I think the DLC is a bit underwhelming. I hoped that the 3rd would be set modern day but apparently it will be Exio again...

I will tell you something quite a good secret in the game, you know how you can see people with broomes sweeping around the place, grab a broom and use it as a weapon, the brooms are surprsingly strong weapons, that seem more capable then many of the guards weapons. And it is quite funny to see them get beaten to death by a broom stick.

take your time and search for the hidden glyphs, it is worth the trouble.

I was a bit awestruck when I got all of the glyphs and found the truth, aswell as video once you beat the last boss, talk about a twist ending, only can say that Ezio was very confused about what hapend and that the third game will most likely be played as Desmond .

Yes, I got all the achievements except for finding all the feathers. Solving the glyphs was the most addicting part for me.

I completed it once, next time i play through im going to go straight for the best mace as early as possible (50 feathers unlock) and never lower my notoriety. The game seems way to easy if you keep reseting it.

Controls are a little weird though as i play on PC. Also, wheres my Anti-aliasing cant consoles use this? I mean how old is that technology.
