We're walking into Assassin's Creed 2 with a lot of questions (namely, will it stay fresh between assassinations?), but we're excited to find out the answers. Sadly, we may have to wait much longer than we anticipated for some of our queries to be addressed.

I just want to know if it will go to far into the sci-fi realm.

Can I get that channel with my regular subscription or do I have to upgrade to the Premium package?

He's a rich guy with a good sense of morality who's father was killed, and in search of vengeance he learns justice is more important. He is suave and and adept at consorting with all levels of society and also has a friend (da Vinci) who designs all of his "high tech" gear.
So basically, He's Batman. Minus the no killing thing of course.

there wasnt any spoiler alert on this article. i hope that means that this is an actua "backstory" and we should ignore when the devlopers say "as you progress" this and that happens.

I wasn't a huge fan of the first game but this one is looking really impressive. It's going to be tough to decide which games to pick up around Christmas.

I noticed that the guards still haven't figured out to help each other yet. This game could be a lot better if it forced players to think of fighting guards as a last ditch effort.
Take the splinter cell games for example. The first game forced the player to avoid conflitcts in favor of quick knockouts and stealth, and it was fantastic. Pandora Tommorrow decided to let players throw stealth out the window and it sucked. Chaos Theory again focused on stealth, and again fantastic game. Double Agent walked the line between the two and it was mediocre. See the trend Ubi, stealth works better than run n gun in spy/assassin games.

It took at least 6 guys to replace Jade Raymond.
