First Assassin's Creed 2 Review Score

Official Xbox Magazine UK:

The first Assassin's Creed's charm was in the sumptuous graphics and straightforward action - that incredible climbing and free-running, and the visceral thrill of stapling evil people to the dirt with a wristblade. With AC2 the rest of the game has caught up with the brilliance of those central ideas to create a complete and coherent experience. We can think of plenty of words that could describe Assassin's Creed 2 - involving, exciting, cinematic - but there's only one word that sums it up beautifully. Killer. [Dec 2009, p.74, via Metacritics/Gamespot.com]

9/10

2 - I loved the first game.
Was a great game in my opinion. Even though some people might find it repetitive, I think the game was very unique with it's game world, excellent storyline and lots of things to do. Plus the combat was great once you got the hang of it. Can't wait for number 2.

This game has also been reviewed in "official playstation magazine" UK. It got 9/10 from them. Looks like it is going to be a good game. I enjoyed the first game even though it was a little repetitive and will be getting this also.

11 - I have high hopes
I didn't like Assassin's Creed initially, but I finally got around to playing it recently (the recent new game drought left me desperate) and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it actually was. Given that they've promised improvements and variety in AC2, I'm excited about how close it is.
Got the white version preordered - don't want to sell my soul to EB/Gamestop for the black, plus it's $50 cheaper.

14 - AC1 vs. AC2
I thought the tech and scope of the first one was amazing but the repetition of the gameplay turned me off big time. Any word on whether this will be the same in AC2?

The first game was struck with a case of lack of content. This game looks different with the addition of dozens of new mission types. I hope it succeeds.

I'd like to know what exactly did they have to say in the review, a score of 9/10 means nothing if there is not a link or a scan to the review article, I'd like to see what was said about the game....

Ac 1 was an awesome game but AC2 looks like it's going to be a lot better.
