I am right in the meat of Assassin’s Creed II right now and loving it. I adored the original and this has improved on the experience. It’s just super fun and I can’t wait for each new environment to play around in.
Ubisoft publishing Assassin’s Creed II Novel
I confess that I was, for an instant, totally into this.
More Ezio, more Assassin’s Creed, it’s a good thing, right? More explanation of his life, more revealed about Altair perhaps. More juicy, juicy plot! Romance, action, assassinations!
Shite.
I like running randomly over roofs, stealing every treasure I can find, making my horse gallop a lot and generally fucking around. I like jumping off of roofs without the leap of faith and seeing how far I can fall without dying. They will leave that out. Where in the novel will Ezio use all of his attacks and movements in the Animus loading screen to make a funky disco dance? Where!?
I don’t want to read their interpretation of how I should be playing the game and the adaptation of my playing style would be boring reading. Why don’t they just use the money they are spending on this to make more DLC?

From the reviews I’ve read, perhaps we ought to be glad that Ubi is faffing about with novelizations rather than turning out more AC2 DLC =/
sad face!
