There's a lot more to do this time round and the story is a lot better more involving and emotional. Those issues aside, the game is very good and a massive improvement on the first game which started well but quickly got very repetitive. I can't work out whether it's the engine (the 40-60 fps framerate suggests otherwise) or whether it's an intentional part of the game. Despite that though the game still feels oddly chuggy in places, especially when running. I get 40-60 fps on my system at 1920x1200 with everything maxed and 8xAA. Also the lighting doesn't look as good as AC1 but then this is DX9 only and doesn't support DX10. Although the graphics look sharper than the console versions and performance is better than AC1 it still has the same jaggy low-res shadows that draw in 10 feet out.

The sequel, like AC1, still doesn't support the full-screen 1920x1200 resolution so we're stuck with top and bottom borders. I'm using the latest v1.2 圆4 drivers too.ģ. exactly the same problem I had with AC1 two years ago under XP. Only thing is now I have two options that I can't assign to the controller because the triggers are not recognised. I prefer to play this game with the Xbox 360 controller but unfortunately the default controls are ridiculous IMO with camera control assigned to the triggers (hey, how do we look up and down, huh?) so I changed them (correcting the wrongly assigned face buttons which are colour-coded to the 360 controller) and remapped the camera control to the right-analogue stick. True, I could resume right from where I left off when the connection came back on but it irked me that I couldn't play it because my connection went down. The DRM proved to mostly unintrusive except that my connection dropped while I was playing resulting in a two to three minute pause where I couldn't actually play it.

I guess that's admission that the game is both good and addictive.ġ. I played this game for 4 hours this afternoon without realising I'd actually been playing it that long.
