So Assassin’s Creed II has finally hit YouMedia, and here is my first hour-and-a-half so impression of the game…
The game starts out very slow, giving a short flashback explanation of what had occured in the first game. It was a nice way of bringing back important story details, but according to my friends who had not played the first game were not really sure as to what was happening.
The game seems to expect that you already know what you should do, but even I, who had played the first game, was still very unsure as to what to do, even before I had actually got into the real game. There were no hints as to where you were supposed to go, and the game wasn’t awfully good at explaining the new HUD. It never had explained most of what the markings on the mini-map had met, but thankfully most of the mechanics were the same as the first one.

The BBPS has recently reported on a story Kotaku recently reported about Assassin's Creed 2 rumors. These rumors suggest that the game may be taking place in Venice in the time period of around 15th to 16th century, and as the post suggests, it could be taking place in the time when the Black Plague was occurring. I just don't understand how they are going to get there with the way the first Assassin's Creed ended.
