[quote name='Kissfuldreamer']I really enjoyed AC2, although I think part of it was because it took place in Italy, and I'm 100% Italian. Although I am eager for the third installment so we can see how Desmond's story ends.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I'm really digging AC2.
It's not perfect. The controls are a bit clunky at times (I'd prefer a jump button to the hold RT and A method) It gets repetitive, especially if you're trying to find all the treasure chests, do all assassination contracts as they pop up etc.
And it occasionally has the GTA problem of having long missions on the other side of the city where you have to kill 5 guys etc. which gets annoying when you fail on the last one and have to do it all over.
But in all it's a hell of a lot of fun.
[quote name='BlueScrote']I don't know how I feel about Ubi doing another AC with Ezio. just feels like a cheap cash in on the setting's success.

I wouldn't say that. Plenty of sequels take place in the same/similar settings. The settings a big part of the appeal for sure. I find the sci fi animus stuff a bit cheasy. Would be better to just take place back then without that angle IMO.

Bought that last night already. Have one piece of the last set of armor and one weapon left to buy--then I should have everything other than maybe some more pouch upgrades that aren't available yet.
Already have all the paintings, everything restored/upgraded in the Villa etc.
