Thankfully, Ubisoft were aware of the problems that the first game had so they decided to make the second installment actually good. Ezio remains an iconic protagonist, the combat is improved with constant additions earned throughout the game which allow for real variety in the game. It also decides that adding variety to the missions is also a good idea instead of sitting on benches for half the game. However it aint perfect, that ending collectable hunt is really shit if you weren't actively pursuing it throughout the game, also fuck the feathers collection, that shit was worthless.

Still though definitely a massive improvement.
