The realisation that I'm having fun is a strange one. Not because the first Assassin's Creed wasn't fun, but because it didn't want to admit it. It was very much a Sit Up Straight, Tuck Your Elbows In, Don't Talk Back kind of game - serious, glowering, even miserable. Granted, it was about conspiracies intended to screw over nations and stabbing men in the spine, but hey - would it hurt to smile a little? Assassin's Creed 2 is similarly about conspiracies and spine-stabbing (eye-stabbing too, in one particularly brutal animation), but it's determined to let you have a good time amidst all this darkness.
