Assassin’s Creed II Visions of Venice Trailer

It seems like Ubisoft have gone for the James Bond style with the new Assassin’s Creed II trailer, well that and some dance music! It certainly isn’t in keeping with the styles of previous trailers (for this and the original) but we can’t “complain” too much as we do get to see some new gameplay footage. Most of the trailer shows off some slow motion combat but there are a couple of new-ish things shown that should be pointed out. Firstly, we are shown Ezio in “control” of horse driven carriage something which I believe we haven’t seen before. In the original game Altair only had access to the lone horse, so this little snippet of information could suggest that there will be other means of transport for good ol’ Ezio! Secondly, towards the end of the trailer we see Ezio perform a super duper double hidden blade kill. We have seen him perform double hidden blade kill before (E3 demo footage) but it wasn’t as “super” or “duper” as this! Come on, he jumped from high above and took out two guards like it was nothing! Hmm, yeah ok I will stop now. Enjoy the trailer folks.
