Fantastic First Impressions...
http://assassinscreed.uk.ubi.com/assass ... ws/?p=3281The OXM review was just the beginning. Expect plenty more scores in the near future, in the mean time numerous sites have posted their impressions of the first few hours of the game. Take a look, they are positively glowing.
Gamespot “The game is looking very impressive, with the new locations and the historically accurate setting, and the hours flew by as we played.â€
IGN “Assassin’s Creed II is a lot more than anyone expected.â€
Nowgamer “A month to go and the build is more polished than we could’ve possibly hoped. This is going to be very, very good.â€
CVG “It’s pure fan service, as are most of the promising changes we’ve seen in the game so far.â€
TVG “Few single-player games offer 27 hours of gameplay as a ballpark figure and with its setting, story and free-running looking first class, the stage is set for AC II to be a great game.â€

16 different mission types (mission variety... each mission is different...i.e. an investigative mission turns into a chase mission and then into an assassination)
Roughly 200 missions (100 story missions, 100 side quests)
Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines for the PSP will bridge the gap between Assassin's Creed (Altair's adventure continues) & Assassin's Creed 2
Ezio has 10 fingers because of Leonardo Da Vinci as opposite to Altair who only had 9 fingers... we'll find out the reason why later on. :evilsmile:
Character Progression: Ezio was not an assassin at first, and later on he will become an assassin himself with the help of his friends who will teach him how.
Economic System: You can now buy / upgrade weapons, hire or bribe someone with money... etc. (loot, pickpocket)
