So who is getting this then? Shopto say mine should be with me tomorrow and all the reviews have been very good so far, so I'm quite looking forward to it

Looks really good - I think I'll pick up a copy. I really enjoyed the first (although never completed it)

[Salgar]

I've ordered 2 copies from gameplay, hopefully be here soon. I loved the first one, the freerunning flowed so nicely that I always smiled.

And if this is anything to go by, the game is going to be amazing:

Played and finished the first one. Enjoyed it, however:

• ********** may be a spoiler below ********************

Did anyone else think the ending was a little odd? What with all the writing that you had to find, and then it just finished? Hopefully the second one will pick up from this!

• ******************************************************

Second one looks good, looks like you have more freedom and can nick weapons!!

Really enjyed the 1st one. But TBH this would be a waste to get it now due to FM3 MW2 and Fifa 10 taking up all my xbox time, may get it for xmas does look god

It should do. If I remember correctly the 1st one was part one of a trilogy, so things won't shake out completely until AC3.

Ive ordered the black edition with Play but received a very odd email that makes me think i'm not going to get it in time for release day.

from what i have just heard on the radio reiview you are better of completeing the first one

they were saying it is very much the same game as the first one and you will get bored with it very quickly


i wont be bothering with it

My mate received his copy from Play yesterday. My Black Edition was despatched on Tue/Wed and still hasn't turned up, but I'm putting that down to it being a larger parcel. I went out and bought Dragon Age today to keep me amused for the time being.
