Can't wait for this

Live and breathe as Ezio, a legendary Master Assassin, in his enduring struggle against the powerful Templar Order. He must journey into Italy's greatest city, Rome, center of power, greed and corruption to strike at the heart of the enemy.

Defeating the corrupt tyrants entrenched there will require not only strength, but leadership, as Ezio commands an entire Brotherhood who will rally to his side. Only by working together can the Assassins defeat their mortal enemies.

And for the first time, introducing a never-before-seen multiplayer layer that allows you to choose from a wide range of unique characters, each with their own signature weapons and assassination techniques, and match your skills against other players from around the world.


Ordered this:

Been playing the multiplayer and i have to say it's awesome. I could play it for hours and hours
One slight niggle i have in the MP is that the counter button (O) is pretty much useless when you know for sure you're about to be assassinated

Love the disguise thing. Makes sneaky kills really easy :D

Still need to play the second. Only completed the first earlier this week. The ending was brilliant never expected that :D. Once I've played the second then I'll get this. :)

Didnt actually like the 1st. Didnt play the 2nd. But I am tempted with this one, just becuase its set in Rome.

I dont like the idea of it being set in the future but you see into the past and all that. Id much rather it was actually set in the 15th century or whenever it is.

Played and loved the first despite its repetitive and limited nature. Didn't really want to get AC2 because of Ubisoft's crap policy of not including all missions on the disc (and selling them as separate DLC).

I heard horror stories about the Ps3 version having bad screen tearing? Is that true or has that been fixed? I might pick up the GOTY edition - including those DLC missions - when its out this Christmas.

True. Some of the nonsense flying around the Ps3 version of RDR was just that - nonsense. I loved it - graphics and all. You're tempting me with AC2..... :D

There's a 'complete' edition of PS3 AC2 thats been released - so that's awesome. I'll be putting an order down for that when I get my car sorted out in the next few weeks. By the reviews on Amazon, AC2 is miles better than AC1 (which I also loved anyway) so happy days.

I'll probably get AC: Brotherhood next year.... :D

The main Eurogamer site gave Assassin's Creed 2: Brotherhood....10/10! :shock:

I find EG to be a bit dodgy but they don't hand out 10's easily. The review is an interesting read though...

Get it yet Danny?
Thinking about picking it up, but I played the multiplayer beta and didn't like it. Plus, I really enjoyed AC2 but completed in a weekend or so and never went back to it, then traded it about a month later for something like a paltry €13 or something.
