Loved the first 2 hours of the first one, but hated the rest of it. The sequel however is absolutely mind blowing.

The sequel is largely improved in every way that I have noticed. The characterization and story development is very impressive. The feeling of boredom or repetition is completely gone as the story moves from and with different paces with different objectives, there are lots of things that keep you interested and wanting more. Through out the whole game the character develops and you can see it happen, unlike the first one. The History that is incorporated with the story is fantastic to say the least, mostly real places and real people, some will awe you. As you will be walking with a great inventor. And throughout the game you learn about the different cities and places in them.

The weapon upgrades are amazing, the skills that you can learn are awesome. The weapon arsenal is nothing short of jaw dropping. I cannot tell you anymore without giving out spoilers. But be ready for some surprises.

They fixed those annoying mesh with people from the first one, in an awesome way, now the assassinations actually seem like an assassination and not a wrestling match. You can be standing right next to the victim and he won't be able to tell.
They have introduced many different ways to complete your assassinations, and none of it gets old.

The game finishes with a lot more answers and substance then the first one ever had. The viewpoints in this one will make you go after them, not for only the scenery but you would want to know and learn about what is under the viewpoints of the beautiful
cities. Again unlike the first one's later parts.

The puzzles in this one are a lot of fun and completing them takes me back to the first Prince of Persia game. With other puzzles in the game they are incorporated with history, science, art and politics together and simply awesome.

In all the only bad thing about the game is that they didn't improve on the graphics and it looks a little dated.
Everything else is Golden.

A must buy for any action adventure fans, this truly is an amazing game with an amazing story. Ubi-soft really did take our complains from the first one and fixed most of them.
