IGN: Assassin's Creed II's Biggest Improvements

1
All eyes were on Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed II unveiling at E3 earlier this month - and with good reason. Not only was the original Assassin's a divisive game – some players loved it completely, others saw it as a rough draft – it also held a heck of a lot of potential, irrespective of polarised opinions.

After an extended session with the game at E3, IGN is convinced that Ubi Montreal are going to floor some jaws with Assassin's Creed II. From the story to the new weapons and inventions, here's why they think Ezio is destined for great things.

They mentioned alot of improvements from the first but from what I've looked up about the game and from the E3 demo I saw being performed I must ask; What about the stealth aspect of the game?

The first grazed the surface of what a crowd based stealth action game could be. Given some love and care I think it could have prospered, not to say that it hasn't. However, the emphasis on this game seems to be on the new combat mechanics.

So far the only things I have seen in relation to the stealth aspect of the game is the ability for the guards to look for you better. While an improvement over the almost nonsensical way the guards outright ignored you in the first, if proper care isn't given to the stealth aspect of the game then we could see a game more in tune with a hack'n'slash rather than stealth.
