Moments of Permanence - Sometimes I feel clever

I liked the first Assassin's Creed, but I found the gameplay somewhat redundant -- does the second one mix it up a little?

So far, yes, but I'm not that far in, so I wouldn't be confident guaranteeing it.

It's got more variation and less interruption for the well-I-found-it-boring future scenes - the game's more streamlined and the plot is more integrated.

And the various new elements and mechanics really do make for a lot more general variability in game play. (More than I'd so far discovered - currently my housemate is playing, and he isn't as far through the main plot as I am, but just a few seconds ago found some very, very cool stuff I'd missed.)

Yay, thank you for the info! I thought the future scenes were pretty boring too, but I really enjoyed the game designers' eye to responsible cultural/religious design -- and the gorgeous animation -- and I'm happy to know the second one is even better!
