"Don't be afraid of the hype this time --it's entirely deserved. Though the original Assassin's Creed may have been somewhat of a let down, there's very few things that disappoint in its considerably improved sequel. The setting and level designs are original, the premise is creative and running around and murdering people as a shadowy assassin has seldom been more fun.
There are a few technical and control issues that were bothersome enough to note, but, aside from the rare bout of frustration they cause, Assassin's Creed II is an absolute blast. "
