mmm... i really doubted Norths talent as a voice actor for awhile there. He sounds the same in everything he does, but he did do the voice of Rapheal in the last TMNT movie. a bit different to his normal character.

Yeah, I gathered.
I've only seen him in Uncharted and AC.
Seems like he just uses his normal everyday voice

His in the last Prince of Persia aswell, only problem with that is, the character is basicly Nathan Drake, only not charming. And if your looking for a reason to dislike him, he's been the Voice if Cyclopse in a few Marvel titles.

Can't wait to get this game. Maybe I'll have to wait until December though, 'cause I'm too busy right now. >_<

I just had a though today. You think there might be some sort of Metal Gear Solid reference in the game somewhere? Only reason i'm thinkin that is cause of the relationship the series have had in the past.

That'd be neat. I forgot about Altair's costume in the MGS4.
Found another stream and it made me pre-order the game. Hopefully the GameStop by my house will have a midnight release.
FYI, pour as much money as you can into your villa. The dude playing was getting about 4,500 every 20 minutes.
Side note: I've always wanted to learn Italian, playing this game will prolly raise my interest

Good stuff. Here is a video and picture of the ultimate armor in the game. The name of the armor may be spiolerific but it's a sexy piece of clothing. DAMN sexy

I know, I'm getting it tonight at midnight. Hopefully work and school will go quickly if I put it out of mind
EDIT
Have you heard the ACII OST by chance?
Leagues better than the first. Its more organic, not as stiff

Haven't heard any of the soundtrack, i honestly can't really remember the soundtrack from the first game.
Been seeing posts on some local message boards about people being called to say they can pick there game up tomorrow, a day ahead of the offical australian release. Hope thats the case, i'll be heading out first thing.
edit: Just got a call from the store i've pre-ordered from, there having a midnight launch tomorrow night. Get there at 11pm, put down the last of my pre-order money. Walkaway with the game at 12:01. Must remember to take DS or PSP.
edit: Damn it, i can see what your playing! how is it?

Hoping to hear some impressions here. The first game really left me feeling burned. I was REALLY disappointed with the first. This one looks a lot better though, hoping it is, and thinking of getting it.

i'm going to the store in 7 hours to pick it up (Damn australian release date is the 19th), But i've seen Vaco Deus on the PS3 friends list, his playing it. I'm sure we'll get some impressions from them soon. From some of the reviews, it sounds like the 360 version is the one to get, Typical comments that it Loads Faster and Looks a little better with the lighting.

Spent a fair amount with the game.
Overall, no gripes. Ezio climbs faster than Altair thank god.
Combat is still waiting for someone to attack and then counter for a VERY satisfying counter-kill (especially if you have the hammer)
The mission structure is about 1000 times better than ACI. Lots of variety before an assassination.
Pump in as much money into the Villa as you can. Its a great way to earn money.
As for the story, its alright, but I haven't finished it yet. The Truth puzzles are a wicked pain in the ass.
Ezio is alot more relatable (and likable) than Altair. His personality is fun while Altair was all business.
Ubi poked fun of themselves in one part
Rebecca: The filter isn't up to par, thats why you hear the occasional Italian. Sorry about that Desmond: Thats alright, at least I have subtitles this time
haha, I got a kick out of it
Initial score 7/10
I'll post more once I beat it and others complete it as well

7/10 from someone who seemed to really be looking forward to the game isn't that promising. And the wait-counter-kill combat was part of what I didn't like about the first game. That and feeling like I was doing the exact same thing, over and over and over again in a slightly different city.
I dunno. I'm not really excited about the game, but a part of me wants to give it a shot. I'm broke though, and would have to end up trading shit in to get it. So I don't want to feel underwhelmed like I did with the first game.
