Not sure if anyone played the first one but i liked it, and judging from all the previews i've seen its only gona get better. I know it single player based but stealth focused games is something i admire cause it makes u think and use tactics (loved the entire Hitman series). Plus i also get fascinated with historic timelines which is one of the big things i liked about the first one. And the graphics was just superb. This one set in 1400's Renaissance Italy- i look forward to exploring the cities, just like in the first one, and all the new upgrades u can get. And finding new ways to assassinate the baddies. Im glad they are taking away the repetitiveness aspect that was in no.1, so im hoping i'll get a good kick out of this.
