Assassin's Creed II update!!

Hello loyal readers!!??
I skimmed through the wikipedia page and all other places that matter to gamers like us for any other info about Assassin's Creed 2, the game everyone's waiting for.
There seem to have been a lot of changes to the new Assassin's Creed from the old one and I can tell you that we're gonna enjoy them a lot. OK, so here's what I've compiled from all other game source I could lay my eyes at.

Check out the video first:


I'll not be telling you about the plot because I myself did not read anything about it, cos' that would spoil the spirit of the game. I'm only gonna be reporting about the changes in the gameplay of Assassin's Creed II from Assassin's Creed.

First of all,since the game is set in Venice, you'll be able to drive small boats in the small rivers. Cool ain't it!! There are also several new types of weapons, like Halberds,axes and pikes. Good news for Playstation 3 owners! You can unlock 6 more weapon types by connecting your PS3 to a PSP!!!

Another major deveopment is the ability to execute dual assassinations using Ezio's dual-blades. Now you can also commit automatic kills for targets within proximity.
Assassin's Creed II also features a revised health system which has made the all the more realistic. Meaning that the 'memory sync'(remember......) will only be able to help Ezio regain a certain amount of health. For further healing, you'll need to pay a visit to the street doctors.LOL imagine an assassin being treated by a doctor!!!

There have also been several revisions in the stealth factor of Assassin's Creed II. First of all you don't need to find a group of stupid scholars dressed in white, you can hide in any crowd now. You also have a lot more scenery options to blend into.

Another great gameplay factor added to Assassin's Creed II is the fame/infamy/notoriety monitor, as seen in games like, Hitman, TES IV Oblivion and Fable. As you complete missions and assassinations, you'll be searched more vigorously. The coolest part is that, you can also reduce your infamy by removing wanted posters, killing witnesses,etc!!!! Also, just like in Oblivion, there is a day-night cycle in the game. The variety of missions you can complete at day and night will be different so this will be a much celebrated move by Ubisoft......even though they've never let us down!!!

There is also a money system in Assassin's Creed II, unlike Assassin's Creed. You can now buy weapons and hire NPCs to work for you. Now I'm not gonna name the NPCs but I can tell you that there are some really cool NPCs in-game and if you want to spoil the game, go on and check out the Wikipedia page of Assassin's Creed.Also, you can steal money and other stuff from NPCs and likewise, so can they steal stuff from you.

If you didn't see the trailer yet, then do so. From the trailer, you can see the improved parkour system of the game.......maybe Ubisoft learned something from Mirror's Edge. Anyway, the game is very attractive......and I can't wait for the game to come out.....November 17th!!!!!!
